Recently, the 87-year-old former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang was rumored to have suffered a small stroke, but fortunately his condition was quickly brought under control and is now stable. Due to the overlap between Lien Chan's hospitalization and the end time of Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun's visit, it was interpreted by the island media as Lien Zhan was hospitalized because Zhu Lilun proposed that the "1992 Consensus" was "a consensus without consensus."
Comprehensive Taiwan media sources said that during Zhu Lilun's visit to the United States, he proposed that the "1992 Consensus" was a "consensus without consensus, and the KMT has never been a pro-China political party, but a pro-US political party. Public opinion believes that this is his latest cross-strait exposition and future line, and even that the KMT line has changed from the earlier "pro-US and anti-China" to "pro-US and anti-China." This has not only made the mainland extremely dissatisfied, but also has also been bitterly criticized by the party for forgetting his ancestors.
Zhang Ronggong, former secretary general of the Kuomintang, said that Lien Chan believes that the KMT's cross-strait line is already very clear, that is, based on the "1992 Consensus," opposing "Taiwan independence," promoting cross-strait peace, common development, and mutually beneficial integration, this should be carried forward and strengthened, rather than triggering unnecessary controversies within the party, so that it can be beneficial to cross-strait relations and help the people live and work in peace and contentment. Zhang Ronggong said that Lien Chan attached great importance to Zhu Lilun's remarks during his visit to the United States, and he held that from the relevant cross-strait talks and the exchange of letters and telegrams between the two sides in 1992, it can be seen that only by recognizing and accepting the "one-China" policy can a new era of cross-strait consultations be opened. Therefore, Zhu Lilun must respect historical facts, otherwise it will cause turmoil in the Taiwan Strait and damage to the rights and interests of the people, and all circles on the island have long understood this.
It is worth noting that Chen Shui-bian, a veteran "Taiwan independence" diehard, once described the "1992 Consensus" as "a consensus without consensus," Tsai Ing-wen substituted it as "the spirit of the 1992 Talks," and Zhu Lilun used chen Shui-bian and Tsai Ing-wen in the United States to describe the "1992 Consensus." It is impossible not to confuse all circles within the KMT and on both sides of the strait. Hong Xiuzhu, former chairman of the Kuomintang, angrily said: In 1992, in the consensus reached by the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) and the Strait Exchange Foundation (SEF), the two sides of the strait adhered to the one-China principle and conspired to achieve national reunification was a black and white paper. Hong Xiuzhu also warned that no matter how the KMT's cross-strait exposition is adjusted, it is inseparable from the KMT's party constitution, and Zhu Lilun should be cautious and prevent the line from deviating from the correct track.
In addition to Hong Xiuzhu's position, the other three former chairmen of the Kuomintang also bitterly criticized Zhu Lilun for denying the "1992 Consensus." Ma Ying-jeou said that the KMT party program and the party constitution show that the two sides of the strait should carry out exchanges and cooperation on the basis of the "1992 Consensus" and "anti-independence, rather than acting perversely." Jiang Qichen stressed: The KMT's "pro-Americanism" should be principled, rather than bending the knees and turning on people's sniffles into "flattery." Lien Chan also pointed out that the "1992 Consensus" is a "needle in the haystack" for cross-strait relations and the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and the KMT should persist in opposing "Taiwan independence" and promote cross-strait peace and common development, rather than causing unnecessary controversy. Some argue that Zhu Lilun is an obvious political opportunist and tries to curry favor with americans by obscuring the "1992 Consensus" in the hope that Washington will endorse his "election campaign" in 2024.
In response to Zhu Lilun's remarks, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also responded. Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, pointed out that the "1992 Consensus" brooks no arbitrary distortions and reminded the KMT to stand on the right side of history on the issue of major issues of right and wrong. As for Mr. Lien Chan's hospitalization due to illness, Ma Xiaoguang said: "The mainland side is very concerned about Mr. Lien Chan's physical health, and has already greeted Mr. Lien Chan and expressed condolences, wishing him a speedy recovery and a safe and smooth future." Frankly speaking, although the traditional old-school Kuomintang has different ideas from the mainland, they have always cherished one China and admitted that they are Chinese. But zhu Lilun, the current chairman of the Kuomintang, is courting the United States and fantasizing about seeking his own selfish interests from the Sino-US confrontation, and he is the unworthy descendant of this century-old party.
Zhu Lilun's vain remark that the "1992 Consensus" is a "consensus without consensus" and does not mean to "compete for favors" with the DPP, but this is equivalent to losing oneself and moving closer to the DPP's political stand, which is obviously a kind of political speculation and reveals a sense of powerlessness and decadence. When Zhu Lilun visited the United States, he thought that he had mastered the trick of dealing with the United States and balancing the mainland, but in fact he was "played with rhythm" by the Americans. On the surface, Zhu Lilun seems to have learned to greet the United States and use his strength to fight, but in fact he began to detach himself from his political intentions and lose contact with the people, from the initial desire to do practical work to play routines. The DPP authorities have also used all kinds of superficial articles to cover up their inaction in the people's livelihood and development on the island.
In fact, both "open independence" and "secret independence" are under the banner of serving the people of Taiwan, but they are harming the interests of the people on the island by clinging to the thighs of the Americans and engaging in cross-strait confrontation or even confrontation. The DPP authorities want to offer a large amount of real money and silver to the US military purchases, and the KMT has set up a so-called "representative office" in the United States and does not dare to oppose the import of "Lai Pig." The Taiwan region has become a dumping market for excess commodities in the United States, and in the end it is still the well-being and vital interests of the people on the island that are harmed. Again, the old saying that whoever does good for the people will always remember and praise him; Whoever does evil will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history and spurned by the people for generations.
