According to Taiwan media reports, Fu Laiqing, the chief summoner of the Kuomintang caucus, will lead the representatives of the Blue Camp to visit the mainland, and the four-day trip will be in Beijing. He stressed that his current visit to the mainland is in his capacity as chief summar of the Kuomintang caucus and executive director of the Kuomintang Policy Council, and he hopes that cross-strait relations will blossom in the spring and promote cross-strait peace.
After Fu Lai-hing revealed that he would lead a delegation to visit the mainland, the Kuomintang expressed its support. The Kuomintang said that Fu Laiqing had been in contact with relevant matters since two months ago, and the Kuomintang was happy to see that the representatives of public opinion should shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding the goodwill dialogue between the two sides of the strait. It is hoped that discussions will be held with the mainland on issues such as Taiwan's export of agricultural and fishery products, tourism, and tourism, and that the people on both sides of the strait will be mutually beneficial and win-win. The Kuomintang has always supported normal and open exchanges and communication with the mainland, believing that only by enhancing benign cross-strait interaction can regional peace and stability be maintained and conflicts in the Taiwan Strait can be avoided.
From this point of view, after Ma Ying-jeou was received by the mainland at a high level, the Kuomintang had a strong desire for dialogue with the mainland and hoped to firmly control the channel of dialogue with the mainland in its own hands. However, before Fu Laiqing's departure, there seemed to be some changes in the plan for visiting the mainland, and the number of people visiting the mainland with the delegation was greatly reduced.
According to Qiu Yi, a citizen of the island, the KMT originally claimed that it had more than 20 representatives of public opinion, which was the largest in history, but after the news broke, it aroused doubts on the island. It is said that there are only five people left with them, and in the end, only Fu Laiqing will go to the mainland alone.
The media on the island believe that the time of the KMT's visit to the mainland coincides with the session of the Taiwan legislature, and the KMT does not have an absolute majority in the legislature, and if more than 20 KMT deputies go to the mainland with them, they will be regarded as absent from the meeting, and if the DPP pushes out a motion unfavorable to the KMT during this period, it will be very difficult for the KMT's remaining NPC deputies to stop it.
In response to this, Fu also responded, emphasizing that the departure will not be delayed until after the meeting, and will not delay the agenda of the people's representatives, and will not affect the legislature reform bill or the bill that has attracted the attention of the society. After all, the DPP-backed legislature reform bill was blocked by the KMT, and the DPP legislature caucus also criticized Lan Bai, saying that they were "foolish" in the legislature and accusing the legislature of being "controlled by the mainland." If the KMT's public opinion representatives go to bring it at this time, maybe the DPP will come up with something to do.
The second reason for the KMT's public opinion representatives to withdraw from the trip was to "save face". Ma Ying-jeou has been received by a very high standard on the mainland, and if they are treated much worse than Ma Ying-jeou when they visit the mainland, they will feel that they have "no face," and some people will retreat. In fact, Zhu Lilun also revealed his plan to visit the mainland through a friend before, but after Zhu Lilun asked the mainland to invite him, he could not invite other party leaders, and Zhu Lilun also proposed to talk about "one China, each with its own interpretation" on the mainland, which is actually still comparing himself with Ma Ying-jeou and not wanting to be crushed by Ma Ying-jeou.
In addition, because of the outrageous conditions put forward by Zhu Lilun, it is almost impossible for the mainland to agree to it, and there is a high probability that Zhu Lilun's visit to the mainland will not take place, and if Fu Lai-lun is received by the mainland, it may affect the relationship between Fu Lai-lun and Zhu Lilun, causing a split within the Kuomintang. Although the Kuomintang is already a tradition of infighting, Lai Qingde is about to come to power, and if the Kuomintang is still in civil strife, it will only be even more unable to support it.
From this point of view, the Kuomintang will only play a favorable situation, and once the public opinion situation is slightly wrong, the Kuomintang will soon be able to change its attitude, which not only reflects the weakness of the Kuomintang, but also loses Fu Laiqing's prestige.
