[Reporter Chen Yufu/Taipei Report] Former President Ma Ying-jeou led Taiwanese students to Hunan University for exchange today. Ma claimed that the preamble of the mainland’s 1982 Constitution mentioned that "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China." "This is a very clear fact." .

Scholars have criticized that it is very inappropriate for Ma, the outgoing president of the Republic of China, to accept that "Taiwan is a part of China" as stated in the CCP's constitution and echo the idea of ​​"reunification of the motherland".

Ma Ying-jeou mentioned in his speech that "our country" has amended the constitution, "our country is divided into two parts, one is the Taiwan region, the other is the mainland region, both are our Republic of China, and both are China."

Ma Ying-jeou said that Article 2 of the Cross-strait Act defines "Taiwan region" and "Mainland region".

The Taiwan area is Taiwan, Penghu, Jinma, and the mainland is outside of Taiwan, Penghu, Jinma, "our territory."

Therefore, both Taiwan and the mainland belong to one China in the constitution, "We are the Taiwan region, and you are the mainland region." Part of the division", "This is a fact that is clear".

In this regard, Wu Sezhi, a researcher at the Cross-Strait Policy Association, pointed out in an interview today that the discussion of our country's constitution refers to the inherent territory, but Ma Ying-jeou deliberately presents the statement of the CCP's constitution on Taiwan, packaging the one-China principle for the CCP.

To a certain extent, Ma Ying-jeou is also echoing the routine of "one in each table" in an attempt to reverse the KMT's definition of the 1992 Consensus.

Wu Sezhi analyzed that it is "very inappropriate" for Ma to use the cross-strait constitution to deal with the one-China issue, and to interpret this as the outgoing president.

Although Ma believed that according to the Constitution of the Republic of China, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belonged to a state of separation and rule, with the mainland and Taiwan regions, and they belonged to one China.

But this is different from the international situation and the reality of the sovereignty of the Republic of China. Ma did not ask the CCP to recognize the Republic of China.

Wu Sezhi criticized that Ma Ying-jeou's visit did not highlight the fact of the existence of the Republic of China. Instead, he echoed the CCP's constitution that "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China."

"Mr. Ma is showing favor to China!" Wu Sezhi pointed out that Ma Ying-jeou was the former chairman of the Kuomintang and also has the status of outgoing president. We should ask the Kuomintang to come out and make it clear. Don't deliberately ignore the cross-strait conversations involved in Ma's visit, including "all representatives The KMT has the responsibility to clarify whether it agrees with Ma Ying-jeou's propositions such as "one China" and accepting the concept of "reunification of the motherland" related to the CCP's constitution.
