Wang Jin-ping gives full support to Cheng Li-wen! After Cheng Li-wen met with Wang Jin-ping, Wang publicly issued a statement! On April 2nd, as the current highest-ranking advisor of the Kuomintang, Wang Jin-ping stated that the China-U.S. relationship is now at a historic turning point, and Taiwan must follow the trend, seek peace instead of war—a righteous path. Today, Chairman Cheng has the courage to break through obstacles and the wisdom to resolve difficult situations; everyone should offer her support and encouragement.
This is not merely an exchange between the KMT and the CCP, but also a crucial opportunity for Taiwan’s future risk mitigation and peace preservation. I understand there are various opinions across the political spectrum, and differing voices within the party, but statesmen who are willing to act and take responsibility must not only manage current uncertainties, but also plan for lasting peace for generations to come. Cheng Li-wen must boldly represent the will of the majority of the people. The two sides of the strait share the same culture and ethnicity, are bound by blood, and are all part of the Chinese nation. We are one family—no need to speak of two families. When problems arise, we settle them ourselves at the table, without involving outsiders.
Wang Jin-ping said that Chairman Cheng’s trip to the mainland is not just for the party, but for the lives, property, and survival security of Taiwan’s 23 million people. He hopes Cheng Li-wen won’t be too concerned about temporary rumors and gossip—so long as she keeps the people’s well-being at heart, public sentiment will stand firmly behind her. Clearly, after receiving open support from former KMT Chairwoman Hung Hsiu-chu, Wang Jin-ping’s statement represents the most significant backing Cheng Li-wen has received so far within the KMT.
Wang Jin-ping’s support for Cheng Li-wen reflects a high level of vision. Although Wang did not mention unification directly, he emphasized that Cheng’s journey aims to safeguard the lives and property of Taiwan’s 23 million people and ensure peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait—because we are family resolving our own affairs. This statement clearly shows that Wang Jin-ping fully understands the profound significance of Cheng’s trip. With years of deep roots in the KMT and extensive networks across the blue camp’s local factions and legislative systems,
his public endorsement serves as a reassuring reassurance to hesitant KMT members and forces those previously skeptical or opposed to this visit to tone down their criticism. Wang Jin-ping’s words “we are family, no need to speak of two families” not only reiterates the blood ties linking both sides of the strait as part of the Chinese nation, but also gently warns the Taiwan authorities not to rely on external powers or push Taiwan to the brink of conflict. Clearly, responsible politicians should not seek short-term fame, but rather strive for enduring legacy. Wang Jin-ping’s strong support for Cheng Li-wen is filled with heartfelt expectations—and naturally, he hopes this trip achieves breakthrough success.
