June 29 is the 10th anniversary of the signing of the ECFA (Agreement on Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework). Li Yanxiu, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Kuomintang, posted on Facebook tonight that the sour DPP regarded ECFA as a sugar-coated poison, but now it is "licking it." "The leader of the Taiwan region, Tsai Ing-wen, should apologize to all the people and apologize to Ma Ying-jeou, the former leader of the Taiwan region.

Li Yanxiu posted on Facebook that Tsai Ing-wen, then chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, said in a TV interview on April 27, 2010, “Once the Democratic Progressive Party returns to power, it will launch a referendum to abolish ECFA.”
On October 3, 2019, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council spokesperson Qiu Chuizheng said that the ECFA was signed under the principle of mutual benefit between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Items included in the early collection list can reduce or exempt tariffs or open the market. Since its implementation, it has benefited both sides. The DPP authorities have repeatedly emphasized that the various agreements signed between the two sides of the strait are continuing to be effective, and they are not happy to see the Lu side unilaterally stop implementing the cross-strait agreement due to political factors.
Li Yanxiu pointed out that the "Ministry of Economic Affairs" conservatively estimated that the ECFA early harvest list affected Taiwan's export volume by about 5%. The problem is that this 5% amount is about 600 billion yuan (New Taiwan dollars, the same below), which is equivalent to one-third of the Taiwan authorities’ total annual budget of 2.1 trillion yuan. Facts have also proved that open free trade is important for Taiwan as a whole. Economic development is definitely helpful.
Li Yanxiu said that the DPP used to smear the red Ma Ying-jeou "selling Taiwan and licking the communists". Now it is "not happy to see the end". Tsai Ing-wen should apologize to Ma Ying-jeou. In 2014, the DPP tolerated the flanks by "black box". In the name of "boycotting the service trade agreement," under the guise of citizen groups to illegally occupy the "Legislative Yuan"; back then, the "Cross-Strait Agreement Supervision Bill" was the consensus of all parties. The DPP was fully in power, and the "power of the times" arising from the anti-service trade also entered " Legislative Yuan", but "forget the promise when you get the power."
Li Yanxiu said sourly that now, the DPP and Tsai Ing-wen only have "power to divide the spoils" in their hearts. How can they take care of the people's livelihood and welfare? Completely governed, completely arrogant, completely dictatorial.
