[Reporter Shi Xiaoguang/Taipei Report] Former President Ma Ying-jeou is still visiting China, but today it is reported that he will lead the young students of the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation "Dajiu Academy" to visit the United States in the second half of this year. Media interviews also indicated that Ma Ying-jeou may lead a youth team to visit the United States during the summer vacation, in order to achieve a balance between cross-strait relations and relations with the United States.

In addition, Zhao Chunshan, a senior adviser to the Kuomintang think tank, also said in an interview with the media that he had communicated with Ma Ying-jeou that the 2024 election is very important to cross-strait relations. "It's not about "resisting the United States." If Ma Ying-jeou visits the United States in the second half of this year, after returning from mainland China, he can communicate with Americans and explain that his visit to mainland China is to seek cross-strait peace. This is also in the interests of the United States.

In February 2020, the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation announced the overseas exchange plan called "2020 Dajiu School". The announcement stated that the participants will visit Washington DC, the White House and Capitol Hill, and Ma Ying-jeou will lead everyone to communicate with outstanding overseas youth. The plan is scheduled to select up to 15 students. It was originally expected to start from the end of July to the beginning of August of that year. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, it was announced that it would be postponed in March of that year. Today, it is reported that the plan will resume this year.

However, Ma Ying-jeou's office responded tonight that there is currently no plan.

The Office of the Horse Office stated that in response to today's media report that Ma Ying-jeou will lead the students of the "Dajiu Academy" to visit the United States in the second half of the year, this information is wrong and there is no such matter.
