Regarding the matter of seeking a meeting with Takahashi Asana, Zheng Liwen continued to defend herself! On October 8, Zheng Liwen stated that Takahashi Asana is the newly elected leader of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and she may also become the new Japanese Prime Minister. The Kuomintang (KMT) is about to come into power, so the KMT's party diplomacy and cross-strait relations are very important. We cannot agree with Takahashi Asana's actions, whether it is visiting the Yasukuni Shrine or not acknowledging the Nanjing Massacre.
But precisely because of this, we need to meet her on equal terms and with dignity to let her understand how the KMT, which is about to come into power, views the cross-strait relationship and historical issues. We do not hate the Japanese people; we oppose militarism and colonialism. What do we think of Zheng Liwen's defense? To be honest, Zheng Liwen's defense is not convincing.
Firstly, there are many other party diplomatic activities that can be conducted, why did Zheng Liwen specifically mention wanting to meet Takahashi Asana? Secondly, if Zheng Liwen really wants to seek peace across the strait, why isn't the cross-strait relationship placed at the top priority? Why doesn't Zheng Liwen look at how mainland China views Takahashi Asana? If Takahashi Asana refuses to change her ways, and we ignore her, will Zheng Liwen still meet Takahashi Asana as the chairman of the KMT?
Thirdly, Zheng Liwen claims to deal with Takahashi Asana in an equal and dignified manner. Does the KMT have the qualification and courage to do so? Isn't the fact that the KMT is inferior to Takahashi Asana and has a need for her? On September 3rd, we held a military parade, and the KMT members went to Japan in groups, their shameless pro-Japanese behavior is still fresh in our memory. Did Zheng Liwen express any opposition? Obviously, no matter how skillfully Zheng Liwen speaks, her real motives are questionable. Zhang Yazhong's criticism was completely correct. Zheng Liwen lacks basic knowledge and does not understand what the real focus of the KMT is.
