Jiang Wan-an has turned the tables on Lai Ching-te! Jiang Wan-an had just returned from the Twin City Forum, and the mainland immediately announced military exercises. A member of the Taipei City Council from the Democratic Progressive Party, Xu Shuhua, deliberately questioned Jiang Wan-an, asking: "Are you the mayor of Taipei? Then can you tell us why there are military exercises right after you returned? Why are warships interfering with Taiwan?" Obviously, the intention of the DPP council member was clear: this time, the mainland's military exercises either have something to do with you Jiang Wan-an, or it proves that Jiang Wan-an's visit to the mainland did not prevent the mainland's military actions.
In response, Cai Wanzheng, the deputy spokesperson for the Taipei City Government representing Jiang Wan-an, stated that the question should be directed at the DPP government. Obviously, Cai Wanzheng's meaning was clear: the mainland is targeting the DPP, not Jiang Wan-an himself, so the DPP should not pretend to be ignorant anymore. In fact, in terms of Jiang Wan-an's level, as the head of Taipei City, he does not have the ability to influence the situation across the Taiwan Strait.
Jiang Wan-an is only responsible for matters in Taipei; affairs in Taiwan are not his concern. From our perspective, our approach toward Taiwan is two-pronged: one hand firmly opposes secession and promotes unification, while the other hand promotes cross-strait exchanges and integration. We are grasping both hands tightly and advancing on both fronts. We target Lai Ching-te for causing trouble, and we open our doors wide to Jiang Wan-an under the 1992 Consensus, with the sole purpose of promoting unification. Obviously, unification is a must-answer question for all forces within the island.
