[Reporter Chen Yufu/Taipei Report] KMT vice chairman Xia Liyan led a delegation to visit China today, and will meet Song Tao, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, and was questioned by the outside world for cooperating with the CCP's united front.

The Kuomintang's Zhu Lilun claimed yesterday that the purpose is to solve economic and trade issues for Taiwan's agricultural and fishery products such as Taitung Sakyamuni, without any political considerations.

Officials interviewed said that this is a united front with no dividends, and the Kuomintang is helping "inflictors" to become "benefactors"; scholars pointed out that China will definitely release "goodwill" through Xia Liyan's visit to Bank of China, with the purpose of changing Taiwan. The political ecology helps the KMT return to power in 2024.

Scholars: China's "goodwill" through the Kuomintang to help return to power

Officials analyzed that the KMT’s method this time was very delicate. It did not directly scold the DPP government, but said that Taiwanese businessmen and farmers encountered great difficulties.

Officials pointed out that the whole thing is that China planted a problem with Taiwan’s agricultural products. It raided and banned the import of Taiwanese pineapples and custard apples. The beneficiary becomes a "benefactor" and achieves a united front without bonuses.

He criticized that when the perpetrator and the benefactor are the same person, it can confuse Taiwan's social cognition, weaken the sense of enemy and friend, divide Taiwan's internal unity, and mislead the international audience, making "victims" thank the "perpetrator". Outrageous.

Wu Sezhi, a researcher at the Cross-Strait Policy Association, said that the opposition party can visit abroad, but it does not have the right to negotiate across the Strait. Any sale of agricultural products that involves people's rights and interests is within the scope of the government's public power.

On the contrary, the CCP has prepared "materials" long ago and wants to use the Kuomintang's visit to China to make political arrangements.

Wu Sezhi pointed out that China will definitely show "goodwill" through Xia Liyan's visit to the Bank of China. The purpose is to change Taiwan's political ecology and help the KMT return to power next year, which can also mislead the international audience.

Political parties have the right to participate and hold political power. The actions of the Kuomintang should be in line with the national interest, not just based on political interests.

Scholar: Compared with Blinken's cancellation of his visit to China, why the KMT should cooperate with the United Front

Wu Sezhi questioned that after the U.S. House of Representatives Pelosi visited Taiwan as speaker last year, China conducted a live-fire military exercise against Taiwan, and Xia Liyan insisted on visiting China despite the opposition from the outside world.

This time Taiwan is facing a strong military threat from China. Compared with the cancellation of US Secretary of State Blinken's visit to China, the Kuomintang has never been able to explain clearly to the Taiwanese society why it must go to China and why it must cooperate with China's United Front?

Regarding the two visits by Zhu Lilun's wife and uncle Gao Sibo, he judged that Zhu Lilun's father-in-law has a certain degree of political and business relations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Although it is impossible to predict what Gao Sibo will do, there must be political intentions behind it. From this point of view, it can be used to "maintain stability" in network relations or political interests.
