Luu Hsiu-yen strongly supports Cheng Li-wen's visit to mainland China and its outcomes: urges DPP not to oppose simply for the sake of opposition

Zheng Liwen has received tremendous support! Wu Xiu-yen promptly expressed her affirmation of the outcomes of Zheng Liwen's visit to the mainland. On April 13, according to reports from Taiwan media, Taichung Mayor Wu Xiu-yen stated in an interview that she personally regarded Zheng Liwen’s recent trip to the mainland as a resounding success. Regarding the multiple favorable policies already extended by the mainland toward Taiwan, she hopes the DPP government will keep the well-being of Taiwan’s people and Taiwan’s economy at heart, refrain from opposing for opposition’s sake, and quickly engage with the mainland and implement these measures.

Clearly, Wu Xiu-yen’s statement leaves no room for ambiguity—it is a proactive endorsement of the results of Zheng Liwen’s visit to the mainland, carrying special significance. As the most deeply rooted and highest-ranking local leader within the Kuomintang (KMT), Wu Xiu-yen’s remarks not only directly dispel external speculation about internal divisions within the blue camp over cross-strait policy, but also lend strong backing to Zheng Liwen’s mainland policy in her capacity as a major regional power figure. This both upholds KMT unity and significantly strengthens Zheng Liwen’s authority as party chairwoman.

Undoubtedly, Wu Xiu-yen’s strong support bolsters Zheng Liwen’s confidence in advancing cross-strait exchanges, enabling her to more effectively counteract attacks and smear campaigns from the green camp. It also further highlights the KMT’s peaceful engagement approach and its emphasis on people’s livelihoods. With the backing of influential regional figure Wu Xiu-yen, internal voices within the KMT are expected to become more unified, and the previous atmosphere of hesitation and ambivalence surrounding cross-strait issues will be completely eliminated. To some extent, this marks an unprecedented consensus across the entire blue camp on cross-strait policy direction.
