A reporter asked, former Kuomintang "legislator" Pang Jianguo unfortunately fell from the building and died on the 11th. He posted a message saying "unfair and unjust Taiwan", which triggered discussion among netizens. What are your comments on this?
Zhu Fenglian responded to the inquiry and said that we deeply regret that we learned that Mr. Pang Jianguo had unfortunately passed away at noon yesterday and expressed our deep condolences. Mr. Pang adheres to the one-China principle, is committed to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, actively promotes cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and has always fought against the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, which is admirable. Before his death, Mr. Wang issued several documents condemning the "unfair and unjust Taiwan" under the rule of the DPP authorities. It is worthy of the awakening of the majority of Taiwanese compatriots in this tragic way.
A Taiwanese reporter asked, regarding the current sluggish cross-strait relations, Professor Pang Jianguo chose to use the tragic method to express many people's voices, feeling that cross-strait relations seem to be walking in a tunnel with invisible ends, in the long night, and cannot see the dawn. Can the spokesperson have positive expectations for cross-strait relations in the new year?
Zhu Fenglian said that we have noticed that Mr. Pang Jianguo’s protest against the DPP in a tragic way should arouse the people on the island’s thoughts. Indeed, the situation on the island is in a dark period due to the manipulation of the DPP, but cross-strait relations are on the side of the forces that advocate the development of cross-strait relations and peaceful reunification, and there is no reason to be pessimistic. As long as compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait join hands to oppose "Taiwan independence", strengthen cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and deepen integrated development, they will surely be able to create a bright future together.
