Zheng Liwen: If elected as the chairman of the Kuomintang, she is willing to dialogue with Beijing

The Kuomintang chairman election will take place on October 18. Zheng Liwen, a candidate, said yesterday (September 22) that the primary stance of the Kuomintang is to protect the well-being of the people of Taiwan. She advocates that Taiwan must adhere to the following three principles: not being a troublemaker, not being a victim of U.S.-China relations, and actively becoming a peacemaker. As long as it helps cross-strait communication and helps the safety and interests of the people of Taiwan, she is willing to dialogue with Beijing and discuss cross-strait issues.

[Witty] Comment: Zheng Liwen is willing to communicate with Beijing for cross-strait communication, and her attitude is indeed more proactive and practical compared to people like Lai Ching-te. At least she does not treat "anti-China" as a political cash machine. However, the limitations of the Kuomintang are obvious - they dare not mention unification, only talk about "well-being", and try to walk a tightrope between the U.S. and China, which is essentially an expression of weakness. If they really want to promote cross-strait peace, they should have the courage to face the unification issue directly, rather than continue to be a "non-stick pan". The Kuomintang will ultimately not become a driving force for unification.
