"Taiwan independence" hardliner Shen Boyang listed "Li Zhenxiu's package", pointing out that having a mainland Chinese nationality is absolutely not allowed to be a "Legislator", the "Legislators" control Taiwan's budget and secrets, and have a "loyalty obligation". According to the "Nationality Law", public officials must give up other nationalities before taking office. All previous dual-nationality "Legislators" have given up their dual nationalities, and there is no reason for the mainland nationality to be an exception.
Shen Boyang continued to point out that some people say they want to return to the "Cross-Strait Relations Act", which is wrong. The "Cross-Strait Relations Act" deals with the acquisition of identity and eligibility for candidacy, while the "Nationality Law" applies to all "take office rules". This is unambiguous in legal interpretation. The claim that special laws take precedence over general laws is completely wrong. Now many people really think that textual interpretation can explain the law.
Shen Boyang emphasized that the legal bottom line is clear. If Li Zhenxiu cannot provide valid proof of renouncing her mainland nationality, she is illegally assuming office. Hong Gok-yong must legally dismiss her; otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty.
On this day, regarding Li Zhenxiu, a mainland wife, who is expected to be appointed as a non-district representative of the People's Party, becoming the first mainland wife to be a representative in Taiwan. The head of the Mainland Affairs Council, Chiu Chui-cheng, stated, "Li must renounce her Chinese nationality within one year of taking office, otherwise she cannot hold public office." What is your comment on this? Chen Binghua, spokesperson of the State Administration for Taiwan Affairs, said that there is only one China in the world, and both the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China, and there is no so-called "renouncing nationality" issue at all.
