Taiwan's eight counties and cities who adhere to the "1992 Consensus " recently visited Beijing and were met by Yu Zhengsheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Zhang Zhijun, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also announced eight measures to promote exchanges with eight counties and cities on agricultural products, tourism, high technology, and youth employment, which have attracted high attention and recognition from the public opinion on the island.
Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao published a comment today, pointing out that the current cross-strait communication mechanism has been suspended due to the DPP authorities' failure to recognize the "1992 Consensus". However, the eight counties and cities in Taiwan have broken the vassal of the authorities' ideology and still adhered to the "1992 Consensus", promoted cross-strait exchanges, and injected positive energy into the sluggish cross-strait relations.
commented that the mainland has released a number of benefits to Taiwan counties and cities that adhere to the "1992 Consensus", which will make counties and cities that benefit from new measures feel more deeply the dividends brought by adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and the peaceful development of cross-strait relations; and people affected by the "Taiwan independence" idea will also see the importance of the "1992 Consensus" and the adverse effects of the Taiwan authorities' wrong cross-strait policies on it.
comment pointed out that the eight Taiwanese county and city leaders invited to visit Beijing this time include Miaoli county magistrate Xu Yaochang, Nantou magistrate Lin Mingchen, Lianjiang magistrate Liu Zengying, Hsinchu county magistrate Qiu Jingchun, Hualien magistrate Fu Kunqi, Kinmen deputy county magistrate Wu Chengdian, New Taipei City deputy mayor Ye Huiqing, and Taitung County deputy county magistrate Chen Jinhu. Among them, Miaoli, Nantou, Lianjiang, Hsinchu, New Taipei and Taitung are all the Kuomintang territory. Although the county magistrates of Hualien and Kinmen are non-party members, they have joined the Kuomintang or the People First Party. Therefore, these eight Taiwan county and city mayors belong to the pan-blue camp. In recent years, both the Kuomintang and the People First Party have adhered to the "1992 Consensus". Especially after the Kuomintang returned to power in the past eight years, it was on the political basis of the "1992 Consensus" that greatly improved cross-strait relations and allowed Taiwanese society to enjoy the dividends of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
comments believe that even though the DPP authorities are unwilling to recognize the "1992 Consensus", the pan-blue camp still adheres to the "1992 Consensus". The mainland treats the two differently. According to whether it agrees with the "1992 Consensus", it fully demonstrates the flexibility of mainland 's policy to Taiwan and its work. Only in this way can Taiwan society be compared and make the people notice that only by having a correct understanding of the nature of cross-strait relations can exchanges and cooperation related to people's livelihood and economy be promoted.
commented that since the rotation of political parties on the island on May 20 this year, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party has a vague attitude on the fundamental issue of the nature of cross-strait relations, and does not recognize the "1992 Consensus" and does not recognize the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to the same China, which has significantly affected Taiwan's people's livelihood economy. Earlier, 20,000 tourism industry practitioners held a large march in Taipei, dissatisfied with the authorities' cross-strait policy that led to a decrease in mainland tourists and affected livelihoods. The heads of eight counties and cities in Taiwan logged in to express their determination to continue to adhere to the "1992 Consensus", and hoped to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the mainland and express the voice of grassroots people. This is a responsible move that is people-oriented and benefits the people.
commented bluntly, in contrast, some counties and cities under the rule of Democratic Progressive Party are indifferent and would rather watch the people's welfare be damaged for the sake of the one-party ideology. Some people from the DPP also ridiculed the eight heads of pan-blue counties and cities that had landed in. Compared with the two, right and wrong are black and white, and the Taiwanese people have a measure of it.
commented at the end of the comment that the DPP authorities think that as long as they do not recognize the "1992 Consensus", the mainland will not do anything and will not be able to promote cross-strait exchanges. It can be seen how unaware of the DPP is of the mainland. Although the DPP seized the ruling power and occupied 2/3 of the local territory, Taiwan is not a "green board" after all, and the DPP cannot cover the sky with one hand.
