Taiwan.com. 10 March -- The so-called "representative office in the United States" of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities recently invited former US Secretary of State Pompeo to visit Taiwan with an honorarium of $150,000. Su Zhenchang, head of the island's administrative organs, has only perfunctorily used the phrase "proceeding according to regulations" to deal with this. But who expected Pompeo not to leave Taiwan, the Internet has circulated the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York" signed a contract with the American political public relations company, which stated that Pompeo was invited to visit Taiwan with a sponsorship of $150,000.
According to media reports on the island, on the 10th, Taiwan's legislature invited Qiu Guozheng, head of the island's defense department, Wu Zhaoxie, head of the foreign affairs department, and Chen Mingtong, head of the security department, to report on the "Study and Response to the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Recent Situation Around the Taiwan Strait" and accepted questions.
Wen Yuxia, a chinese Kuomintang deputy, questioned during questioning whether Pompeo's visit to Taiwan was a "foreign affairs trip" or a "business trip". Wu Zhaoxie "had a tough tone" in his response, and Wen Yuxia warned him not to "get angry early in the morning."
In fact, as early as the day of Pompeo's arrival in Taiwan, some media on the island disclosed that in a telegram sent to Taiwan's foreign affairs department by the DPP authorities' agencies in the United States last August, it was mentioned that Pompeo and the top management of the Anarock Company had met with Xiao Meiqin, the "representative of the DPP authorities in the United States," and That Pompeo was an adviser to this company. Pompeo's trip is to win the island retirement fund, labor retirement fund, and invest in an aarock company related to it. Therefore, "it is false to resist the Central Committee and support Taiwan, and it is the purpose to come to Taiwan to strive for retirement and labor protection funds as a 'political protection fee'."
In this regard, Wen Yuxia questioned that Pompeo did not recognize Taiwan at all during his term of office, and the fund in which he participated this time wanted to use the island labor insurance fund and the retirement fund to invest. Is it appropriate for the foreign affairs department of the Tsai Ing-wen administration to tie the way? (Taiwan.com Wang Siyu)
