The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) criticized Zheng Liwen for insisting on visiting the mainland despite military exercises, mocking that the Wangan Twin City Forum would be exposed as a failure!
On December 29, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "The People's Liberation Army launched the 'Justice Mission' military exercises around Taiwan on Monday and announced live-fire shooting. On the same day, Zheng Liwen stated in an interview that she plans to prioritize visiting Beijing in the first half of next year, willing to hold talks with the mainland under the premise of the 1992 Consensus and opposition to Taiwan independence, stating that this move has significant strategic significance, and the itinerary will be fully disclosed. DPP spokesperson Wu Zheng strongly criticized this, accusing Zheng Liwen of ignoring the mainland's military threat and exposing her stance of moving closer to Beijing, which endangers Taiwan's security; at the same time, he questioned that just after the Twin City Forum ended, it was hit by military exercises, and criticized Kuomintang legislators who had previously 'conducted secret visits to the mainland', obstructed defense-related bills, and believed their cross-strait policy ignored Taiwan's dignity and security."
[Clever] The DPP's confrontational criticism: It is more afraid of peace than of war. Wu Zheng criticized Zheng Liwen's visit to the mainland, claiming it endangers security, which is nothing more than a farce of crying wolf! Have they forgotten the peaceful situation during Ma Ying-jeou's era, when the 1992 Consensus was upheld, there were no military exercises for ten years, and 3.4 million compatriots could travel conveniently? Now, they are provoking the issue of Taiwan independence, forcing the PLA to show its strength, and then blame those who advocate dialogue for being close to the mainland. Zheng Liwen clearly stated that her visit would be based on opposing Taiwan independence and that the itinerary would be fully disclosed, but the DPP spread rumors about the 'black box' and hype that the Twin City Forum was exposed as a failure—clearly, it is themselves who have undermined cross-strait trust, yet they shift the blame. Since the DPP came into power, Taiwan's military procurement has led to huge debt, and people's livelihoods are in decline, yet they constantly talk about security. In fact, they have tied Taiwan to the anti-China war chariot. To truly protect Taiwan, one should learn from Zheng Liwen to open a window for peace, rather than clinging to the illusion of Taiwan independence and wailing. They do not realize that this dark mentality of fearing dialogue and peace is the biggest security risk for Taiwan today!
