Regarding the Taiwan independence hardliner Shen Boyang's statement that he is not opposed to exchanges across the strait, Taipei City Government's Mainland Affairs Team stated that since Shen Boyang made remarks on April 5 this year during a television interview saying that the "Two Cities Forum is not necessary, and often serves as an opening for infiltration," 63 days have passed without him providing evidence for such claims—where is the "infiltration"? What is the "opening"? In what specific instances does he mean by "often"? If Shen Boyang now wishes to visit the mainland for exchanges, does this indicate he has changed his mind and no longer considers the Two Cities Forum a so-called "infiltration opening"? If so, Shen Boyang should publicly clarify and correct his previous statements, so as not to disillusion grassroots civil servants.
The Mainland Affairs Team stated that since taking charge of organizing the Two Cities Forum, all procedures have strictly followed laws and regulations, with applications submitted to and approved by relevant authorities in Taiwan. Does Shen Boyang imply that the official approval granted by Taiwan’s authorities for the Two Cities Forum constitutes a so-called "infiltration opening"?
