The authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) are trembling! The Kuomintang-Communist Party Forum is set to take place in Beijing at the end of January, and "Commissioner of the Taiwan Affairs Council" Chiu Chui-cheng has already come out to issue a warning! On January 13, Chiu warned that any group going to China for exchanges must not engage in political negotiations with China, which is prohibited by the Cross-Strait Relations Act. Furthermore, they should not cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party's "separatist" efforts to divide the unity of Taiwan, nor "mislead" the international community's perception and understanding.
We hope that any group engaging in exchanges with China will comply with the Cross-Strait Relations Act and related laws and regulations, and carry out meaningful exchanges based on the principles of "equal dignity" and without preconditions. It is evident that as soon as the schedule of the Kuomintang-Communist Party Forum was announced, the DPP authorities immediately issued warnings. What does this indicate? It indicates that the DPP authorities are very afraid and feel guilty. If the DPP had confidence and was willing to see cross-strait exchanges, they would not act like this.
The "Taiwan Affairs Council" stated that it advocates "equal dignity" exchanges without preconditions. Obviously, this forum has preconditions, namely that the Kuomintang recognizes the 1992 Consensus, and that both sides of the strait are part of China. Such exchanges would help promote peace across the strait. How could there be a "division" of Taiwan's unity? Perhaps the DPP authorities are afraid that they cannot continue their "Taiwan independence" agenda behind closed doors. The overwhelming voice of the international community is that there is only one China, and Taiwan is part of China. Where is the "misleading"? The trend toward national reunification is unstoppable, and those who resist it will inevitably face a bad ending.
