The New York Mets of MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL will hold a Taiwan Day event on the 29th local time in the United States, inviting Xiao Meiqin, the "representative of the Taiwan authorities in the United States," to kick off. Some DPP "legislators" have declared that this means that Taiwan's participation in non-governmental or official activities in the United States is more formalized and normalized. However, some netizens on the island did not think so, sarcastically saying that "everything is piled up with money, can you tell the people how much you spent?" ”

For the news that Xiao Meiqin was invited to kick off, from last night to today, it was reported by a number of media on the island. Taiwan's "Central News Agency" claimed that Xiao Meiqin was the first "representative in the United States" to be invited to kick off the ball since the 16th session of the "Metropolitan Taiwan Day".
Some media have used the term "groundbreaking" to describe this matter.
Taiwan media reported that "Metropolitan Taiwan Day" is the oldest and largest Taiwan cultural celebration activity of the 30 teams in the Major League, which has combined cultural performances, advertising, setting up games and parent-child activity booths in previous years to attract fans, and has invited directors Ang Lee, Wei Desheng and athletes Zeng Yanni, Lu Yanxun and other celebrities to kick off.
Dpp "legislator" Chen Tingfei declared that "this year is very different." She said that in the past, there was no official representative on the Metropolitan Taiwan Day, and when I saw the "representative in the United States" being invited today, the invitation card was written "Taiwan representative", and it could also be openly teeed on the court, which represented Taiwan's participation in non-governmental activities or official activities in the United States in the future, which was actually more table-oriented and normalized. She also claimed that "this is a positive reflection on the relationship and exchange between Taiwan and the United States." Dpp "legislator" Xu Zhijie also claimed that it "symbolizes the unswervingness of Taiwan-US friendship."
However, after hearing all kinds of remarks from the DPP "legislators," some netizens on the island left a message in the comment area of the Taiwan media and asked, "How much taxpayer money has been spent?" "Everything is piled up with money, can you tell the people how much you spent?"
"Didn't you do anything serious?" Some netizens also asked.
Some netizens satirized, "I don't know if I have been used."
More netizens denounced the "Green Committee" as "brainless and white-eyed (describing people who can't understand the situation, don't know each other, talk nonsense, and act smart)."
