The "Taiwan independence" activists caused trouble at the airport, but the chairman of the New Party, Wu Cheng-dian, personally came to the airport to see off Zheng Liwen! On April 7th, according to reports from Taiwan media, Zheng Liwen, chairwoman of the Kuomintang (KMT), led a delegation on a 2026 Peace Journey to mainland China. The flight, operated by Shanghai Airlines departing from Taipei Songshan Airport bound for Shanghai, saw a large crowd gathering early in the morning outside the airport terminal. Supporters and protesters were present, and the two sides even clashed at one point, prompting the deployment of nearly a hundred police officers for security.

Chairman Wu Cheng-dian of the New Party personally accompanied Zheng Liwen to the airport, stating that cross-strait compatriots are one family. He emphasized that now we hope the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China can set aside internal contradictions among our people, re-establish cooperation, and jointly overcome the humiliation inflicted upon the Chinese nation by Anglo-Saxon powers over the past 200 years—humiliation that has fueled antagonism between enemies. Together, we should create a new unified China, build a new order across the strait, establish a new peace in the Taiwan Strait, and win a new era of prosperity for Taiwan. Clearly, facing Zheng Liwen's visit to the mainland, "Taiwan independence" elements are attempting to cause unrest.

At this critical juncture for cross-strait relations, Wu Cheng-dian’s personal escort sends a powerful message: he stands firmly in support of the peaceful path across the strait. In response to the provocations and rhetoric from "Taiwan independence" figures, Wu clearly expressed his position—this is not only a firm opposition to those who have forgotten their roots and heritage but also an earnest hope that Zheng Liwen will prioritize national unity during her trip, adhere to the "1992 Consensus," firmly oppose "Taiwan independence," and work with us toward reunification, so as to secure lasting peace for both sides of the strait. It is evident that Zheng Liwen’s visit holds significant importance. We hope the KMT will follow the tide of history and bring the two sides closer together.
