Today morning, Kuomintang (KMT) Vice Chairman Hsiao Xu-cen discussed the recent U.S.-Iran conflict. He does not believe that the Middle East conflict will affect Trump's visit to China. The upcoming discussion will certainly focus on the thorny Taiwan issue, especially the arms sales issue, which will be the top priority.
Hsiao Xu-cen said that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has continuously used the media and its allies to "red-bait" Chairman Zheng Li-wen's visit to the mainland. Unlike the DPP, the KMT constantly promotes exchanges for the people and livelihood. For issues directly related to the interests of Taiwanese people, the KMT has established a cross-strait communication platform, and high-level cross-strait dialogue and contact will naturally follow.
However, Hsiao Xu-cen also admitted that under the DPP's brainwashing and attacks, especially with the "nine-in-one" elections approaching this year, many blue camp candidates are naturally worried about being "red-baited." But regardless of who leads the visit to the mainland, they will certainly face "red-baiting." He believes that as long as it benefits the people of Taiwan, everyone will support it, and the peaceful atmosphere across the strait will become even more solid.
Hsiao Xu-cen continued, saying that leaders from countries such as the UK, France, Germany, and Canada have all visited mainland China, indicating the importance of mainland China. Why does the DPP criticize Chairman Zheng Li-wen? If it can bring benefits to the people of Taiwan and make the cross-strait relations more peaceful, it is definitely what the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan would welcome.
