[Reporter Lin Liangsheng/Taipei Report] The "Inter-Parliamentary Alliance for China Policy" (IPAC) will visit Taiwan. Non-party legislator Lin Changzuo pointed out in the general questioning of the Legislative Yuan that the international organization invites Taiwanese parliamentarians to participate, but it must include the main political parties in the ruling and opposition parties. , and Kuomintang legislators Jiang Wanan and Jiang Qichen both refused, and Taiwan could not join as a member state.

When the Legislative Yuan held a general inquiry today, Lin Changzuo said that representatives of IPAC will come to Taiwan recently. The organization is an international alliance of parliaments on Taiwan policy, and its members are all members of Congress.

In 2020, they felt that China's rise was a threat to democracies around the world. They were composed of congressmen from all over the world. In the past few years, they have prompted countries to formulate bills to sanction China and strengthen information security legislation.

Lin Changzuo mentioned that IPAC is an organization that fights against China. Of course, I would like to invite Taiwan to become a member state. However, because it is a joint organization of the Congress, the articles of association mention that all major political parties in the Congress should join, while the main opposition party in Taiwan is the Kuomintang. Only the KMT can join.

Lin Changzuo said that when the IPAC Secretariat contacted him, he also hoped that he would lobby the Kuomintang and invite Kuomintang legislators to participate, so he went to Jiang Qichen and Jiang Wanan to ask him, but after three months of consideration, he was still unwilling to join, and Taiwan could not become an IPAC. Member States.

Lin Changzuo asked Su Zhenchang's opinion. Su Zhenchang pointed out that it is true and false if you test it. It would be very good if Taiwan can participate in international organizations, especially if the other party invites us. The Congress can best represent the highest public opinion. , Let everyone unite with the outside world and let foreign countries see that Taiwan is the same. It's strange, I don't know what to consider.

Lin Changzuo pointed out that the reason why he mentioned it in the question is because the IPAC delegation has publicly called on the Kuomintang legislators to reconsider in the past few days.

He said that he saw Jiang Wanan swearing in front of the gods that he would stand with Taiwan to protect Taiwan, but as a legislator, there is no need to swear.

Lin Changzuo also said that the Kuomintang has organized a delegation to China this year to celebrate the election of Xi Jinping. If the Kuomintang joins this anti-China organization, it will cause some trouble, so he also mentioned to the IPAC Secretariat, if the Kuomintang is really unwilling, can I find a solution? A flexible approach allows Taiwan to join.
