[Reporter Huang Jingyu/Taipei Report] Former President Ma Ying-jeou will lead a delegation to China on the 27th to worship ancestors and exchange ideas, which has aroused heated discussions.

Qiu Chenyuan, general secretary of the Legislative Yuan’s People’s Party Group, said in an interview this morning (20th) that the Party Group believes that under the current situation of cross-strait tensions and highly politically sensitive relations between the United States, China and Taiwan, people-to-people exchanges are necessary, and they are happy to see them. It also reminded Ma Ying-jeou to "avoid becoming a tool of the CCP's united front."

Qiu Chenyuan pointed out that former President Ma Ying-jeou had applied to visit China as early as 2019. At that time, due to the control period, he was not approved. Now he wants to visit China and report to the presidential palace and related units. Basically, there is legal basis.

Qiu Chenyuan pointed out that under the premise that the official communication channel has lost the normal mechanism, they believe that it is necessary to conduct non-governmental and cultural exchanges with China. Ordinary people are different. In terms of words and deeds during visits and interactions with the other side, they should avoid becoming a tool of the CCP's united front and avoid falling into the threat of the CCP's united front.
