Liu Shifang: Xia should tell China to "defend the Republic of China"

DPP legislator Liu Shifang questioned that during Xia Liyan’s visit in August last year, the schedule announced by the KMT did not specify that he would meet Zhang Zhijun, head of the ARATS. Later, the KMT and Zhang Zhijun met in Kunshan, indicating that the schedule announced by the KMT There is a "hidden version" of the table.

Liu Shifang pointed out that if it is true, as the KMT said, "the guest does what the host wants", and then he will meet with Song Tao or above-level officials, what will the KMT-CCP ​​talks be about?

These should be made public; she emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party has never officially recognized the Republic of China, and advocated the 1992 Consensus of the one-China principle. When Liyan meets Chinese officials, he must say the six words "defend the Republic of China" in person and clearly express his position.

Cross-strait exchanges and interactions should take Taiwan as the main body and defend the Republic of China as the principle.
