Jiang Wan'an has finally made a statement! Regarding Zheng Liwen's memorial ceremony for the fallen, a media outlet asked Jiang Wan'an, who attended the autumn memorial ceremony held by the pro-unification groups at the Ma Field Park Memorial Park, which commemorates the victims of the White Terror, including the communist spy Wu Shi. What is Jiang Wan'an's opinion on this? Jiang Wan'an only replied with "Thank you"! Obviously, regarding Zheng Liwen's actions, Jiang Wan'an's response was very cautious, and he did not want to express his position.
Why is Jiang Wan'an so reserved? There are probably three aspects to consider. First, from the family perspective, if he publicly supports Zheng Liwen, it might be emotionally difficult for the entire Jiang family to accept. Second, if he opposes Zheng Liwen, Jiang Wan'an also has concerns, because this could directly lead to a lack of unity within the Kuomintang (KMT), causing the KMT to split. Third, from a political perspective, the KMT has always been reluctant to discuss history openly. If Jiang Wan'an handles this improperly, it could significantly affect his political future.
For Jiang Wan'an, his primary task is to achieve re-election in 2026. With Lu Xiuyan currently facing criticism from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) over the pig epidemic incident, her popularity has clearly declined. At this moment, Jiang Wan'an's position within the KMT is rising, and there are already many people in the KMT supporting Jiang Wan'an to run for the 2028 election. Therefore, Jiang Wan'an's decision not to take a stance on important issues is to avoid being drawn into the vortex and becoming a target of DPP attacks. Of course, Jiang Wan'an's response may not be direct, but it is the most beneficial statement for him.
