Cheng Li-wen swiftly promoted exchanges between young people on both sides of the strait, organizing a group of over 200 individuals to travel to the mainland for study.

Zheng Liwen's actions are truly swift! With cross-strait exchanges under Ma Ying-jeou's initiative stalled, Zheng Liwen has taken up the banner and swiftly organized a youth group of over 200 people to visit and study in mainland China. After Zheng Liwen's visit to the mainland, one of our ten policy measures benefiting Taiwan specifically aims to expand exchanges between young people on both sides of the strait. Just over ten days after returning to Taiwan, local media reported that the youth delegation visiting the mainland has already been fully assembled, with a total number exceeding 200.

The Kuomintang (KMT) party’s specific responsible figure for youth exchanges is Lien Cheng-wu, the second son of Lien Chan. Meanwhile, Hsiao Hsu-chin, a KMT vice chairperson who has been directly orchestrating Zheng Liwen’s cross-strait strategy, will also be involved. Zheng Liwen’s rapid action indicates two things: first, her deep commitment to cross-strait relations; second, it reflects the efficiency and decisiveness of her team—no hesitation, no delay, striving to quickly resume exchanges between youth on both sides of the strait.

To be honest, after the incident involving Ma Ying-jeou’s foundation, Hsiao Hsu-chin found himself at the center of public scrutiny. The function of cross-strait exchanges previously carried out by Dajiu Academy came to a halt, creating a gap in grassroots cross-strait communication. At this critical juncture, Zheng Liwen acted decisively, rapidly assembling this group of more than 200 youths—not only filling the void in exchanges but also demonstrating through concrete actions the commitment that cross-strait ties should grow closer over time.

Hsiao Hsu-chin, transitioning from Ma Ying-jeou’s system into the core of the KMT, combined with Lien Cheng-wu’s strong network and influence among youth circles, makes their collaboration highly effective and well-coordinated. On the other hand, as the long-standing leader of cross-strait exchanges, Ma Ying-jeou himself should now demonstrate high-mindedness—quickly resolving the controversy surrounding his foundation, cooperating closely with Zheng Liwen, and continuing to advance cross-strait exchanges. This is precisely what responsibility and integrity truly mean.
