Xia Liyan, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, led a delegation to visit mainland China on February 26. Yesterday (February 29), he met and had dinner with Song Tao, Director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, in Shanghai. Xia Liyan told Song Tao that the Kuomintang will play the role of a responsible opposition party in Taiwan through party politics and supervise the ruling party (i.e., the Democratic Progressive Party) not to do anything that goes against public opinion. In this regard, DPP spokesperson Dai Weishan said today (1st) that Xia Liyan went to China many times at sensitive moments in cross-strait relations. This time, when faced with Chinese officials accusing the Chinese government of being rough with the coast patrol brothers, Xia Liyan not only failed to work hard to enforce the law The Taiwanese coast guard made a statement, but instead echoed the idea of ”supervising the DPP government”, which made Taiwanese people angry and sad. Has the KMT become the little brother of the CCP?
Dai Weishan said that Kuomintang Vice Chairman Xia Liyan always goes to China at sensitive and tense moments across the Taiwan Strait. On August 10, 2022, before the 9-in-1 election, and even before the sensitive moment of the 2024 Taiwan presidential election, he traveled back and forth frequently. In February 2023, On the 8th, relations between the United States and China were tense; on June 16, 2023, he went to China to reaffirm the 1992 Consensus; on August 28, 2023, he insisted on going to Taiwan despite the intensive military aircraft disturbing Taiwan; one month before the general election on December 13, 2023, this time he deliberately chose During the visit after the Kinmen Coast Guard Incident, the timing was sensitive and arousing suspicion.
Dai Weishan said, however, when faced with the fact that Chinese Communist Party officials ignored the Taiwan Coast Guard’s inspection, which was based on China’s “three no fishing boats” with no ship name, no ship certificate, and no port of registry, they even distorted the facts again and made arbitrary accusations against China. While the government and Coast Guard brethren were treating Chinese fishermen roughly, KMT Vice Chairman Xia Liyan not only failed to speak for the hard-working Coast Guard colleagues, but also colluded and said that he wanted to “supervise the DPP government.” This really made the Taiwanese people feel angry and sad.
Dai Weishan pointed out that during Xia Li’s visit in August 2022, the young and middle-aged people of the Kuomintang signed a petition to oppose it. New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi, Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan and others also expressed their opposition. Where are the voices of these people now? Why didn’t Hou Youyi and Lu Xiuyan stop reminding Xia Liyan not to visit China? The Kuomintang’s move was tantamount to acquiescing to China’s statement and once again severely damaged the morale of the maritime patrol.
Finally, Dai Weishan emphasized that she once again reminded the Kuomintang not to fall into China’s united front framework again and again, nor should it negate the hard work of its coast patrol colleagues and forget to protect the rights and interests of fishermen. If the Kuomintang is truly for Taiwan, it should defend the rights and interests of coast patrol personnel and fishermen. To agree with China indiscriminately is detrimental to the basic dignity of the country.
