Wang Jin-Ping has also responded! His remarks are quite interesting! On May 26th, regarding the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, Wang Jin-Ping said he hopes Ma Ying-jeou will be healthier, everything will return to normal, controversies will soon subside, and he can resume a normal life. He also wishes Ma a wonderful retirement. He cannot offer advice on what's right or wrong, nor does he know the full story. He hopes everyone will show mutual tolerance—not just for the party, but also for society, and even for Ma Ying-jeou himself—so that wisdom may be applied early on to resolve the matter swiftly and peacefully.
As for whether this could escalate into internal strife within the Kuomintang, Wang Jin-Ping stated: "No, it won't happen. It should pass quickly and calm down soon." Clearly, although during Ma Ying-jeou’s administration, Wang Jin-Ping and Ma had their differences and personal tensions, these words from Wang undoubtedly reflect great magnanimity. Regarding Ma Ying-jeou, Wang Jin-Ping made three particularly meaningful statements. The first is his wish that Ma Ying-jeou be healthier and everything more normal—words that seem to carry hidden meaning.
The second is his hope that Ma Ying-jeou enjoys an excellent retirement life. The third is his wish for early resolution through wisdom. If we interpret this in reverse, what does it imply? Clearly, Wang Jin-Ping is not pleased with how this situation has escalated. As for the handling of those involved, it can hardly be considered wise. To be honest, both men are retired, but compared to Ma Ying-jeou, Wang Jin-Ping appears remarkably composed and carefree, while Ma Ying-jeou seems to be creating unnecessary troubles for himself. In terms of personal character and broad-mindedness, Ma Ying-jeou clearly falls short of Wang Jin-Ping by a significant margin.
