Taiwan’s former President Ma Ying-jeou said on November 7, when he attended a seminar on the fifth anniversary of the “Ma Xi conference” organized by his foundation and other institutions, that he expected both sides of the Taiwan Strait to return to the original “1992 Consensus”, to avoid war and seek peace between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even to promote the “Cai Xi will reopen the closed cross-strait peace bridge. In response, Taiwan’s Executive Yuan President Su Tseng-chang said on the 8th, “Ma Ying-jeou is always unable to see clearly that China has already set the tone for the ‘1992 Consensus,’ the ‘One China’ and the ‘1992’ The ‘consensus’ simply does not exist, and Ma Ying-jeou should wake up.”
In response to a media question about what he thought of Ma’s statement, Su replied, “China has long since set the tone for the ‘1992 Consensus,’ which is ‘one country, two systems’ and ‘one China’ ‘.” He continued, “Look at Hong Kong, how China deceived and violated its promises with ‘one country, two systems’ and now Hong Kong people are striving and being persecuted for the pursuit of democracy and freedom and adherence to the original open and progressive society; and look at Xinjiang and Tibet, how Taiwanese people will give up living in a free and democratic world and national sovereignty .”
Su said Ma Ying-jeou should stand with Taiwan’s mainstream public opinion and “change China if he can, instead of still using this so-called ‘1992 Consensus’ and ‘one country, two systems’ that doesn’t exist and is also set by China ‘to confuse the people, the people of Taiwan had let the Chinese Nationalist Party step down after the ‘Ma Xi Meeting’; five years later, Ma Ying-jeou is still thinking about it, it is really time to wake up.”
In response to a reporter’s follow-up question about the possibility of a “Cai Xi meeting” between the current leaders of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which was raised at the Ma Ying-jeou meeting, Su said, “President Tsai Ing-wen once mentioned in his National Day speech that the leaders of the other side of the Taiwan Strait had publicly declared that China would never dominate, among other things.” He added, “Taiwan is in a situation of equality, reciprocity and mutual respect, and none of us will give up any efforts; but there should be a premise, the so-called one China, the so-called Taiwan is his, which is absolutely unacceptable to the vast majority of Taiwanese people.” The media asked if the cross-strait part was actually a presidential authority, and some questioned whether he had overstepped it.
Su replied that as the executive president appointed by Tsai Ing-wen, he and the latter know each other. He said, “For how to maintain Taiwan’s sovereignty and national security, so that Taiwan can have a place in the world, so that the people of Taiwan can fight the epidemic together and the economy continues to grow, so that the people can live in peace and happiness, these are the beliefs and the account of President Tsai, I will work hard, and we have the best understanding with each other.”
On the other hand, the news of Biden’s election to the U.S. presidency, the Central News Agency reported that Cai Ing-wen pushed back Biden’s tweets to congratulate him on his election, making the “bets” unsustainable. KMT Wenchuan deputy committee member Zheng Zhaoxin believes that “talk about unilateral congratulatory tweets that are not interactive can be used for discussion, showing that the ruling party is known to have gone overboard with its past internal declarations, which have caused serious obstacles to communication with the U.S. The KMT is deeply concerned.” Ma Ying-jeou had also criticized the Taiwan authorities at Friday’s seminar, saying, “the DPP, for the sake of votes, decided to ‘choose sides’ into the U.S.-Land confrontation, adding anti-land, making cross-strait hostility rise; sincere advice, the DPP government in the face of the current situation, must change the ‘choose sides’ The ‘stand’ and ‘one-sided’ policy toward the U.S. can only be changed to equidistant engagement with the major powers in order to serve Taiwan’s best interests.”
