The informal leaders' meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization (APEC) will be held in video on November 20. According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen announced today that TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou will serve as a representative of Taiwan as a representative. This is Zhang Zhongmou's fourth term as a representative.
Due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, APEC canceled or postponed most meetings and events in the first half of the year. As the epidemic is still spreading around the world, host member Malaysia decided to resume holding the APEC meeting via video.
It is reported that during the administration of former Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian, Zhang Zhongmou served as the APEC representative for the first time in 2006; after Tsai Ing-wen came to power in 2016, she was represented twice by People First Party Chairman Song Chuyu, and in 2018 and 2019, Zhang Zhongmou attended the meeting.
In September this year, it was reported that Taiwan’s foreign exchange department was actively seeking Tsai Ing-wen to participate in the Leadership Summit. Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, once responded that the APEC organization itself has long-term practices to implement relevant personnel in Taiwan, China, as the regional economy, as . Our position is clear that it must comply with the one-China principle and the relevant provisions of the APCE Memorandum of Understanding. Any trick or plot to take the opportunity to "seek independence" can only bring shame to oneself. ( China Taiwan Network Li Ning)
