According to Taiwan media and a number of authoritative media reports in China, on 26 April, Fu Kunqing, chief of the Kuomintang "legislature" caucus, led the Kuomintang "legislators" to visit the mainland.
He was accompanied by 16 current "legislators" of the Blue Camp and a former "legislator," including Weng Xiaoling, Lin Peixiang, Zhang Zhilun, Liao Xianxiang, Luo Mingcai, Lin Qianqi, Wang Hongwei, Zheng Zhengchao, Qiu Zhenjun, and so on, among whom the former "legislator" was Zhang Yumei.
According to the previous statement, Fu Kunqing and others will stay in Beijing for 3 days and are expected to return to Taiwan on the evening of the 28th. Before boarding, he said that many industries in Taiwan are now very difficult, although Taiwan has high technology, but 95% of the employed population are ordinary employees, he hopes that mainland tourists can freely enter Taiwan, Taiwan's agricultural products can also be sold to the mainland.
Fu Laiqing also stressed that his current visit to the mainland is an ice-breaking and peaceful trip, and he has come with goodwill, hoping to reduce the tense atmosphere between the two sides of the strait and enable the two sides of the strait to fully resume exchanges and communication as soon as possible.
Tudou wants to say that Fu Kunqing's trip to the mainland is not as light as he described, it should be "twists and turns", and in the process, it was heavily suppressed by the DPP, set up cards, and constrained by the KMT, resulting in the number of "visiting the mainland" shrinking from the initial 20 or so to the current 10 or so, and even these dozen or so people may still be "settled after the autumn" by the party bigwigs. This is also the reason why Fu Kunqing said before boarding the plane that they are brave and resolute and will not be afraid of the flanks of the Internet army.
Qiu Yi, a well-known observer in Taiwan and a friend of Fu Kunqing, said in a video program that Fu Kunqing visited the mainland under tremendous pressure, and even put pressure on his political life for the rest of his life.
In order to prevent Fu Kunqing and other KMT bigwigs from frequently visiting the mainland, the DPP has adopted three means: to publicize the results of the punishment of the unification faction; to investigate Hou Youyi's "Luo Yishi's deportation case of returning to Taiwan after breaking through the border" 35 years ago in order to put pressure on the KMT; and openly refusing to amend the "Anti-Infiltration Law."
The most severe measure is undoubtedly the "anti-infiltration law," which the DPP forcibly passed by taking advantage of the KMT's unpreparedness, but now it has become a sharp weapon for the DPP to suppress and contain the KMT: According to the provisions of the "anti-infiltration law," KMT personages are suspected of "violating the law" in meeting and communicating with mainland officials.
Wu Siyao, secretary general of the Democratic Progressive Party caucus in Taiwan's "Legislative Yuan," sneered at Fu Kunqing's visit to the mainland, first affirming Fu Kunqing's visit to the mainland with false affection, and then asked him not to delay the work on the agenda of the 'Legislative Yuan.' On behalf of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus, she also warned Fu Kunqing and his entourage that what they say and do on the mainland should represent the interests of the Taiwan people and conform to their expectations, and that they should not fantasize about and release too many political intentions.
Wu Siyao's careful thinking that he did not want to mention was that if Fu Laiqing and his entourage successfully visited the mainland, then it would leave an opportunity for the DPP to take advantage of it and facilitate the vote on some bills unfavorable to the KMT during this time period. This is the reason why some "legislators" have temporarily decided to cancel their visit to the mainland, and they are worried that they will be "sneak attacked" by the DPP!
The KMT is not monolithic, and many people are waiting to see Fu Kunqing's jokes, including Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun.
It is said that Zhu Lilun, through Vice Chairman Xia Liyan, has put forward two conditions to the mainland, allowing him to openly talk about "one China, each with its own expression" on the mainland, and the mainland has promised not to visit the mainland without inviting other political bigwigs in Taiwan.
These two conditions are very beneficial to Zhu Lilun, but they will make the mainland fall into passivity, for example, if other bigwigs in Taiwan are not invited, then Zhu Lilun will monopolize the channels of communication between the mainland and Taiwan, and some people who oppose Zhu Lilun but admit the "consensus of '92" will no longer be able to contact the mainland, so it is impossible for the mainland to agree to these two conditions, and Zhu Lilun has not yet received a reply from the mainland.
In Zhu Lilun's eyes, Fu Kunqing had little seniority and low seniority within the Kuomintang, and he had been expelled from the party, but now he has suddenly become a dark horse, and he has strongly stepped onto the stage of cross-strait exchanges, attracting a lot of attention within the Kuomintang.
This made many bigwigs, including Zhu Lilun, very faceless, so they didn't support Fu Kunqing's trip to the mainland, and basically kept "silent" about the above. Tudou suspects that some Kuomintang "legislators" have suddenly canceled their plans to visit the mainland, and they may also feel pressure from within the Kuomintang.
Back to Fu Laiqing, unlike the hesitation of other Kuomintang bigwigs, Fu Laiqing and Hong Xiuzhu's style of action is a bit similar, and they belong to the type of daring to act. In Hualien County, he was elected as the county magistrate for two terms with a high vote, and made great contributions to the development of Hualien County, so he also won the title of "Hualien King" and the reputation of "five-star county magistrate".
From Fu Laiqing's decision to visit the mainland to the present, the itinerary has been changed again and again, and during the period, he has been "verbally criticized" by the green media, and it is rare to insist on visiting the mainland in the end. Of course, Fu Laiqing is also smart, and Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland was a great success, causing widespread attention on both the mainland and Taiwan. Once Fu Laiqing communicates well with the mainland and leaves an excellent impression on the mainland, Lianhua County is bound to enjoy the first wave of dividends after the resumption of cross-strait exchanges in various fields.
