Chen Hsu-ting, a spokesperson for the Kuomintang (KMT), said in an interview today that if the cross-strait forum could be resumed, it would indicate that there is still a channel of dialogue between the two sides. The outside world should view this with a more open mind, especially against the backdrop of rapidly changing international situations and rising geopolitical risks, where communication itself has its necessity. The outside world often overinterprets or escalates the dialogue between the KMT and mainland China, but such views do not reflect the actual situation. From the perspective of international relations and strategy, what is needed now is risk management and risk avoidance thinking. Establishing a stable channel of dialogue is itself a way to reduce the risk of conflict.
Chen Hsu-ting emphasized that even if dialogue takes place, the KMT will continue to use communication to reduce the possibility of miscalculation and conflict. He believes that if the cross-strait forum can be held, the Taiwanese society should offer blessings and rational views, as dialogue helps stabilize the regional situation and has a positive impact on Taiwan's overall security.
