China Taiwan Network, June 22, Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe recently proposed the construction of the Jinxia Bridge, emphasizing that this would make the "mini three links" more efficient. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council claimed yesterday (21st) that building the bridge poses a huge so-called "national security risk" and that it is two different things from the "mini-three links". It criticized Ke's idea as "ignorant and absurd, and calling a deer a horse." Based on reports from Taiwan's China Times and other reports, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council's so-called response to the Jinxia Bridge has angered many people in Kinmen. Former Kinmen County Mayor Chen Fuhai, Kinmen County Speaker Hong Yundian, and "legislator" Chen Yuzhen all stepped forward. Support Ke Wenzhe’s proposal to build the Jinxia Bridge.
In response to Ke Wenzhe's proposal to build the Jinxia Bridge, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities were facing a formidable enemy. First, some members of the Democratic Progressive Party jumped out to "cry and kill". Later, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council also distorted that the Jinxia Bridge was the mainland's so-called "based on united front thinking" The purpose is to blur the boundary between Kinmen and Xiamen, and then make Kinmen a part of Fujian, which poses a so-called huge "national security risk". He also criticized "Ke Wenzhe refers to a deer as a horse in an attempt to confuse the public, and his mentality is negotiable."
However, regarding Ke Wenzhe’s proposal to build the Jinxia Bridge, former Kinmen County Mayor Chen Fuhai, who completed the cross-strait water connection during his term of office, issued an article on the 21st, emphasizing that peaceful and stable cross-strait relations are the top priority, and Kinmen has always been an important hub for cross-strait interaction. Hub, "a bridge with economy and people's livelihood as the starting point, can not only connect the two sides of Jinmen and Xiamen, but also build an invisible emotional connection for Taiwan. It should not only be done but also be accelerated!"
A "legislator of the Chinese Kuomintang" who was born in Kinmen "Chen Yuzhen said that in the past, when the chairman of the DPP party department ran for the Kinmen "legislator", he proposed not only to build the Jinmen-Xiamen Bridge, but also to build the MRT. The DPP wanted to criticize Ke Wenzhe for "selling out on Taiwan." Before writing " Wu Sangui ", should I first criticize the "legislator" candidate I nominated? She asked "the Mainland Affairs Council to speak clearly" and called on not to use the "Greater Taiwan" mentality to bully Kinmen.
Kinmen County Speaker Hong Yundian also expressed support, emphasizing that the construction of the Jinmen-Xiamen Bridge will contribute to the formation of the "Jinmen-Xiamen Living Circle" and can create special value for Kinmen to stabilize cross-strait peace. It is also the best way for Kinmen to go global.
In response to the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council’s statement, Taipei City Government spokesperson Chen Zhihan also hit back. She said that in 2016, Chen Jianren, then deputy leader of the Taiwan region, crossed the sea to Kinmen to raise momentum for the Democratic Progressive Party. When faced with local relatives who expressed their hope to build a cross-sea bridge, Chen Jianren immediately replied, "The Democratic Progressive Party deeply "We know the importance of this cross-sea bridge to Kinmen." "Why do people from the Democratic Progressive Party propose exchanges and cooperation on the same issue, but Ko Wenzhe's suggestion becomes an ignorant one!"
People's Party "legislator" Cai Biru said yesterday that Tsai Ing-wen In the past, when he was the chairman of the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council, the "small three links" were opened. When the Democratic Progressive Party was in power, he discussed the withdrawal of troops from Jinma and the establishment of a demilitarized zone. Why can't Ke Wenzhe bring up the discussion of the Jinxia Bridge? It is basically a "Democratic Progressive Party" The party can, but Ke Wenzhe cannot." (Editor/Li Ning Review/Li Botao)
