Fu Kunqi, the chief convener of the Kuomintang League in the Legislative Yuan, will lead a delegation to visit China today (26th). He was interviewed and said that “the highlight will be on Saturday.” People’s Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe said in an exclusive interview that he did not know the level at which Fu would meet, but he believed that he would probably not be able to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. He also revealed that he was thinking about how China would play if China suddenly opened up Chinese students, Chinese tourists, He guessed that the National Security Council is also meeting to lift the ban on agricultural products. What will happen if the other side of the Taiwan Strait plays this card? He also thinks that he is afraid that China will not set restrictions now, and then Taiwan will be under great pressure.
At noon, Ko Wenzhe accepted an exclusive interview with Huang Guangqin, the host of the YouTube channel “Taking Viewpoint” program “Guandian Qin Battle”. Talking about Fu Kunqi’s interview, Ke Wenzhe said that he didn’t know who he would meet. Maybe the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference would be the worst. Chairman Wang Huning, but not Xi Jinping, because China attaches great importance to reciprocity.
Ke Wenzhe also said that he was thinking about how China will play its cards tomorrow morning, and revealed that there is a discussion within the party today. If China lifts the ban on China’s exports, exports, and agricultural products, will there be any conditions on the other side? If conditions are set, it will be easier to handle. Taiwan must accept the “one China” principle and the “1992 Consensus” before opening up Chinese students and tourists. This will definitely be fine, because Taiwan must say that “political interference in the economy is not allowed.”
However, Ke Wenzhe believes that there is another possibility now. China does not set any conditions and “just opens up like this.” What about Taiwan playing the cards now? Ke Geng said that he guessed that the National Security Council is also meeting to discuss what to do if the other party plays cards like this?
Ke Wenzhe pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party’s tactics against Taiwan are to use hard tactics to become harder and soft tactics to become softer. Peace and war are two strategies. He said that since US President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping met in San Francisco last November, they could sense that the two sides were cooling down. Ke believes that China is actually in a bad situation recently. The unemployment rate is too high. Inflation is happening all over the world, but only one country is experiencing deflation because people are afraid to spend money. Why? Because of the unemployment, it means that the US blockade is effective. When factories move to Vietnam and Indonesia, people are afraid to spend money and cash flow drops. “I guess, if I were Xi Jinping, I would also spend some time solving domestic problems first.” Because there are a lot of real estate bankruptcies in China.
Ko Wenzhe mentioned that the United States is like this. When it comes to democratic countries, people say that “snakes are about to shed their skins.” That means they are very weak at that time, and the election is the time when they are shedding their skins. Biden will definitely want to say that there will be a US presidential election on November 5, so We must not dare to do anything. The temperature began to cool down in November, and the hotline between the two sides was established in April this year. Now US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has also gone to Beijing. He guesses that both sides are trying to say, “You don’t want to touch me, and I don’t want to touch you.” When the US election is over in November, it will be a new beginning.
Ko Wenzhe emphasized that Taiwan should not have any illusions at this stage. We have found a position within the Sino-US structure. Now that China and the United States have cooled down, we do not dare to play hard for the time being. Therefore, he believes that China may play this card. In the past, it was very hard and demanded the acceptance of one country, two systems. , only China is willing to open up to Chinese tourists. Now we are afraid that the other side will not set restrictions and directly open up. “At that time, Taiwan will be under great pressure.”
Huang Guangqin asked, does Ke Wenzhe think it should be opened up? Ke Wenzhe said that the problem of the Democratic Progressive Party is that there are too many ideologies that cannot be turned around. If we are rational, pragmatic, and scientific every day, many things can be turned around, but the result is that if we hold high the ideology, it will be miserable.
Ke Wenzhe said that he guessed that the DPP also wanted to lift the ban, but it usually shouted so loudly and talked a lot about anti-infiltration laws. Now if China suddenly announced that it would not impose restrictions on cards, it would be called “stud”. He guessed China may do this tomorrow.
