Although Lai Qingde's "transit to the United States" has led to the escalation of tensions in the Taiwan Strait, Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan still led a delegation to Shanghai to participate in the 2023 Twin Cities Forum as scheduled. On the morning of August 29, Jiang Wan'an and his party arrived in Shanghai and received them in a "high-standard" manner, and he immediately went straight to Yangshan Port Area and Laogang Ecological and Environmental Protection Base to visit.
In this regard, Ke Wenzhe, former mayor of Taipei City and chairman of the People's Party, openly said that more cross-strait exchanges can accumulate goodwill and further avoid the occurrence of conflicts, and he sincerely hopes that Jiang Wan'an's trip will be a smooth success. Earlier, Jiang Wan'an also said before setting off that the more tense the cross-strait situation, the more it is necessary to maintain proper communication.
Tensions in the Taiwan Strait are constantly heating up, and the mainland attaches great importance to Jiang Wan'an's trip to Shanghai to participate in the "Twin Cities Forum," and the reception specifications are slightly inferior to Ma Ying-jeou. A small detail after Jiang Wan'an and his party got off the plane also attracted great attention from Taiwan media.
Each of them received a badge with "Shanghai Special Service" printed on it after getting off the plane and was told it was a "national security need." Compared with the previous situation of the island's delegation participating in the "Twin Cities Forum", the mainland's security level response arranged for Jiang Wan'an and his party this time is indeed quite rare.
In fact, before Jiang Wan'an's official visit to Shanghai, there was news that as the first descendant of Chiang to visit the mainland in an official capacity since 1949, the mainland may receive him according to the specifications of Ma Ying-jeou's previous visit.
In addition, the timing of Jiang Wan'an's visit to the mainland is also very sensitive, and the "Twin Cities Forum" is also the first official resumption of physical exchanges between the two sides after the global epidemic crisis, aiming to further ease cross-strait tensions, and Jiang Wan'an's statement before his visit also released a positive signal, so the mainland's high-standard reception released goodwill.
The person who came to pick up the airport was the vice mayor of Shanghai, and as far as Jiang Wan'an himself was concerned, it was already a high-standard reception. However, the first time Jiang Wan'an got off the plane was not to go directly to Shanghai, but to Yangshan Port in Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, which is only part of the Shanghai Port Area.
The reason why Jiang Wan'an and his entourage went straight to Yangshan Port is because the port has played a very important role in cross-strait exchanges, and Ke Wenzhe and Ma Yingjeou have visited this place. However, according to common sense, Jiang Wan'an is a "guest" and the mainland is a "host", and Jiang Wan'an should go to the "home" to sit down first.
But what is puzzling is that Jiang Wan'an went straight to visit places outside Shanghai on the day of his arrival, and did not arrive in Shanghai until the evening. In addition, before Jiang Wan'an's official visit, the spokesman of the Taipei City Government also made it clear that Jiang Wan'an did not plan to meet with Song Tao, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.
Song Tao has always been willing to strengthen cross-strait relations on the premise of the "one-China principle" and the "consensus of '92," and he also hopes to have contacts with various political parties on the island. Previously, when Ma Ying-jeou and Xia Liyan, vice chairman of the Kuomintang, came to the mainland, Song Tao met with them.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Wan'an, as a rising political star of the Kuomintang on the island, should seize the opportunity to meet with Song Tao if he wishes to further strengthen the development of cross-strait relations, but not only does he have no relevant plans, but he even has a tough attitude, which is naturally difficult to understand.
After all, he released a positive signal before his trip, on the one hand, affirming the key role played by the "Twin Cities Forum" in the development of cross-strait relations; On the other hand, he also stressed that the people on the island do not want to see the soldiers on both sides of the strait fighting a dangerous battle, which is not only the voice of the people on the island, but also his position of always firm cross-strait peaceful development.
However, some sources pointed out that in order to avoid contradictions, when Jiang Wan'an participated in the "Twin Cities Forum," he would try to avoid talking about politically sensitive topics and choose to focus on resolving existing cross-strait issues in the fields of economy and tourism.
During Jiang Wan'an's visit to the mainland, the Green Camp on Taiwan Island began to play with right and wrong. After Lai Qingde "transited the United States", the Eastern Theater shaped an all-round situation of encircling the island, and the mainland also introduced measures such as banning the import of mangoes from Taiwan. In this regard, politicians on the island claimed that this shows that the mainland has not released "goodwill" towards Taiwan.
Under such circumstances, when Jiang Wan'an went to Shanghai to participate in the "Twin Cities Forum," he should ask the mainland to immediately stop these measures, otherwise the Taiwan side would consider whether to hold the next "Twin Cities Forum." Obviously, the purpose of the Taiwan Island Green Camp is to increase obstacles to cross-strait exchanges.
Jiang Wan'an's statement was generally positive, and he claimed in a meeting with Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng that cross-strait relations are closely related to the development of the great era, and it is necessary to achieve peace and strive for a win-win situation. At the same time, Gong Zhengye pointed out that we are willing to work with Taipei City to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
The cross-strait hostility is constantly rising, and the people on the island are also aware of the need to restart cross-strait dialogue, and Jiang Wan'an's participation in the "Twin Cities Forum" is conducive to maintaining the stability of cross-strait relations.
As for the various problems between the two sides of the strait at present, the prerequisite for resolving them is that the Taiwan authorities must return to the correct path of adhering to the "one-China principle" and the "consensus of '92." Of course, I hope that both Jiang Wan'an and Ke Wenzhe can put what they say into practice.
