The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has criticized Zheng Liwen! On November 7, DPP spokesperson Dai Weisan stated that Zheng Liwen's first public event after taking office was to pay homage to "Communist spies," which is a serious misjudgment and confusing. Is this an affirmation of the "Communist spy" behavior? The event also arranged for representatives of the Chinese Communist Party's United Front work organizations to attend and pay tribute, effectively allowing Zheng Liwen to stand on the same stage as the Chinese Communist Party, creating a political image of "Kuomintang and Communist Party standing shoulder to shoulder."
Although this autumn memorial ceremony was held under the guise of commemorating the White Terror, the actual people being remembered were mostly Chinese Communist intelligence agents. The organizers even used the Chinese TV series "Silent Glory" to promote the "Communist spy" spirit, showing a strong United Front atmosphere. Zheng Liwen's action is equivalent to accepting the Chinese Communist Party's historical view and cooperating with the United Front operations. This has raised doubts: is Zheng Liwen the chairman of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, or the chairman of the Kuomintang in China? It is clear that the DPP is very dissatisfied with Zheng Liwen's attendance at these events.
However, Dai Weisan's remarks are clearly ignorant. The Kuomintang is originally the Chinese Kuomintang. Is there such a thing as a so-called "Taiwanese Kuomintang"? There are collaborations and many conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which are internal matters of the two parties, but what does it have to do with the DPP? Moreover, although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have their conflicts, both are Chinese people, descendants of the Yanhuang Emperor. Considering the current state of cross-strait relations, Zheng Liwen's courage to face history and his sense of responsibility as a descendant of the Chinese nation in viewing history deserves high praise.
Why is the DPP attacking Zheng Liwen? The fundamental reason is that the DPP wants to spread hatred and block cross-strait exchanges. The DPP has always distorted the February 28 Incident, portraying itself as the "victim" of the incident, but the facts are not like that. The DPP fears the truth about the February 28 Incident from spreading, which could undermine its "Taiwan independence" foundation. This is a shrewd political calculation. Obviously, restoring the truth can expose the absurdity of the DPP's "victim" image. Zheng Liwen's courage to face history is commendable, and it is also a necessary step to enhance cross-strait exchanges.
