Li Sichuan Bidding Responds to Su Qiaohui’s Camp Question: Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu are the ones who only use single numbers to talk about polls

Pan Caixuan, spokesman for Li's Sichuan campaign office, responded to the false accusations made by Su Qiaohui camp member Weng Zhenzhou, pointing out that the poll cited by Li's campaign came from the Kuomintang's New Taipei City Council caucus internal poll and the details have been made public. On the contrary, Soviet figures Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu only published polls with a single number many times during the 2018 election without disclosing the source, confirming that Su Qiaohui's camp has double standards and is accustomed to leading the trend with false polls.

Scholars from China and Hong Kong proposed a 12-point consensus on the "one country, two systems" Taiwan plan. Mainland Affairs Council: The Taiwan government and people will not accept any of it.

Hong Kong's "One Country, Two Systems" Institute and other institutions held a symposium at the Beijing Center of the University of Hong Kong. More than 20 scholars from China and Hong Kong proposed the so-called "12-point consensus", which included that all power in Taiwan comes from central authorization, patriots govern Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army stationed in Taiwan, disbanding Taiwan's armed forces, confiscating weapons, reorganizing political parties and electoral systems, reforming textbooks, and even proposing "paramilitary rule" for three to five years if reunification is completed by non-peaceful means. Liang Wenjie, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, responded that the Taiwan government and people "will not accept any of it." The article pointed out that this plan lacks the participation and democratic authorization of the Taiwanese people. It is actually a presupposed design to restructure Taiwan's political order after reunification, and is incompatible with Taiwan's current democratic constitutional system.
