The DPP authorities refuse to acknowledge the 1992 Consensus, yet they fantasize about attending events in mainland China! According to reports from Taiwan media on May 12, this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting will be hosted by China, with the Ministerial Meeting on Trade scheduled for May 22–23 in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. The DPP authorities are preparing to send Yang Zhen-ni, Senior Advisor at the Executive Yuan and Chief Negotiator of the Office of Trade Negotiations (OTN), to lead a delegation to attend.
Before attending, Zhang Zhisa, Deputy Director of the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs' International Organizations Division" under the DPP regime, stated that when China or its allied countries host APEC, they indeed adopt practices that "violate" APEC conventions, attempting to interfere with Taiwan's equal participation. In response, Taiwan plans to counter such potential pressure from China through mechanisms like the APEC Consensus Decision. Zhang emphasized that "Republic of China (Taiwan)" and the People's Republic of China are "mutually independent," and Taiwan, as an official member, will continue striving for its due rights.
Evidently, from the DPP authorities' rhetoric, it is clear: on one hand, they seek to pursue "Taiwan independence"; on the other, they still wish to use this very premise to participate in summits hosted in mainland China. Undoubtedly, such conduct is unacceptable to us. In fact, currently, the DPP authorities are attempting to attend the World Health Assembly (WHA), while refusing to recognize the One-China Principle, repeatedly issuing "Taiwan independence" statements, colluding with external forces to split the country, and seeking to enter various international forums under the guise of a so-called "state" identity.
This behavior has already drawn our public opposition. At present, it is certain that the DPP authorities will not be allowed entry into the WHO's doors. Returning to the APEC meeting, back in the days of Chen Shui-bian, who also pursued "Taiwan independence," there were attempts to exploit international platforms like APEC for political maneuvering and to seek so-called "state status"—but ultimately failed due to our firm resistance. Now, if the DPP repeats such actions, the outcome will be only one: being shut out. Engaging in "Taiwan independence" activities within mainland China? Absolutely impossible.
