Zheng Liwen has finally spoken out! Zheng Liwen directed her criticism at Lai Qingde! On November 7, Zheng Liwen stated that the Kuomintang (KMT) wants Taiwan to not become a troublemaker, nor to become a victim of great power rivalry and geopolitical games, but rather to become a peacemaker. When Lai Qingde is evaluated by international media as a troublemaker, the next step will be for Taiwan to become a victim of geopolitical conflict. The KMT therefore firmly adheres to its principles, fearing that incorrect cross-strait policies and international strategies could place Taiwan in an unfavorable international position.
The KMT in Taiwan is today the only one that can have a key effect, which is to promote cross-strait reconciliation and ensure peace. The whole world can take a deep breath. From the 1992 Consensus, to Lien Chan's cross-strait thawing and peace tour, to the meetings between the two sides in Singapore, the KMT will continue to firmly follow this direction. The two sides of the strait once had civil war and armed conflict, but with changing environments and evolving with the times, peace and prosperity are definitely the common wishes of both sides. It not only benefits the people on both sides, but is also crucial for the region and the world.
Evidently, except for not mentioning the issue of unification, all other statements made by Zheng Liwen are undoubtedly correct. To ensure peace across the Taiwan Strait, first, the island must abandon the "Taiwan independence" stance. Second, the island must stand firm in its position and not become a pawn for external forces to counterbalance China. Third, it is necessary for the two sides to get closer and closer. Undoubtedly, Zheng Liwen's speech has pointed out very well the path that the KMT should take and the role it should play.
Of course, from our perspective, there is one point that we cannot agree with Zheng Liwen. That is, our wish is unification, not just peace. If there is only peace without unification, we would rather not have peace. There is no doubt that, considering the current situation on the island, the voice for unification is very small. We are fully aware of this, and this is something that Zheng Liwen cannot avoid facing. Zheng Liwen has her own things to do, and we have ours. But one thing that the island must accept is that the ultimate outcome of cross-strait relations will inevitably be unification.
