Zheng Liwen once again called on Lai Ching-te, and said that she hopes the Chinese mainland will not take a military stance against Taiwan! On December 31, Zheng Liwen delivered a speech stating that the possibility of military conflict between the two sides could be the spark for a third world war. She hopes to eliminate any possibility of military conflict and that the Kuomintang (KMT) hopes for comprehensive exchanges. She hopes the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government can also accept the 1992 Consensus, and publicly oppose "Taiwan independence". Ma Ying-jeou's eight years in power proved every day to the world that cross-strait dialogue and exchanges are possible, bringing various possibilities for the future.
Reconciliation brings peace, and the peace of the Taiwan Strait is of great concern to the whole world. The two sides should jointly bear the responsibility to maintain peace across the strait, avoid any possible military conflicts, carry out dialogue, exchange and reconciliation to create peace. The KMT takes this as an important mission and responsibility, and will never play with fire or put Taiwan in danger. It also hopes that the mainland authorities will not take a military stance against Taiwan. Obviously, from Zheng Liwen's speech, it is clear that Zheng expressed two points.
The first is that she hopes Lai Ching-te will accept the 1992 Consensus. The second is that she hopes for peace across the strait and avoids conflict, hoping that we do not use military means against Taiwan. Regarding Zheng Liwen's call for Lai Ching-te to accept the 1992 Consensus, this is certainly worth affirming. However, given Lai Ching-te's stubborn nature, this is basically like talking to a duck. Zheng Liwen stated that communication and the pursuit of peace will bring various possibilities for the future, which is certainly correct. However, we also noticed that Zheng Liwen did not mention the issue of unification.
Zheng Liwen has her own position and considerations based on domestic elections in Taiwan, which can be understood. However, from our perspective, our approach is very clear: one hand is to oppose secession and promote unification, and the other is to promote cross-strait exchanges and integration. We need to grasp both hands tightly and firmly, and the result will inevitably lead to unification. Military means are absolutely necessary in the process of unification, but whether it means "military unification" depends on the choice of the people in Taiwan. We hope Zheng Liwen can bring change, but the initiative in the Taiwan Strait is undoubtedly in our hands!
