The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has set limits on Zheng Liwen.
Taiwan media reported today that Zheng Liwen, a member of the DPP, was elected as the chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT). In a program, she expressed her willingness to visit mainland China for exchanges and ease cross-strait tensions. Zhong Jiabin, the secretary-general of the DPP's Legislative Yuan faction, stated that if Zheng Liwen goes to Beijing, the DPP "is not worried," but she "cannot represent Taiwan in signing agreements with the mainland."
Previously, the mutual telegrams between the KMT and the Communist Party have sent key signals: If Zheng Liwen leads the KMT to uphold the "1992 Consensus" and firmly oppose "Taiwan independence," the two parties' exchanges and interactions are expected to open up a new situation, and the possibility of Zheng Liwen visiting the mainland is very high. This will undoubtedly be a strong blow to the DPP, which has always used underhanded means to hinder cross-strait exchanges.
Zhong Jiabin's proposal of restrictions actually exposes the DPP's anxiety and insecurity. The DPP knows that once the KMT resumes regular exchanges with the mainland, the people of Taiwan will have more opportunities to access real information, and the long-term "de-Sinicization" propaganda will be broken through, which is the fundamental reason why the DPP is eager to set limits.
