Xu Jiaqing was accused of "parasitizing the Overseas Chinese Council" by her family members. The Taiwanese Women's Association of North America issued a statement to clarify!

People's Party legislator Chen Zhaozi accused today (6th) that when Xu Jiaqing attended the "36th Annual Conference of the Taiwanese Women's Association of North America and Visit to the Overseas Chinese Community in Vancouver" in 2024, she walked with her husband and son, questioned Xu Jiaqing's family of three for "parasitic overseas Chinese committee", and released a photo of the three of them. The Vancouver branch of the North American Taiwanese Women's Association (NATWA Vancouver) issued a statement tonight to clarify that the photos posted by Chen Zhaozi were not at the annual meeting venue, and Xu Jiaqing's husband and son did not attend the annual meeting dinner. On April 20 of that year, the North American Taiwanese Women's Association only cared about the fact that Xu Jiaqing's family spent less time together and stayed apart more often, and took the initiative to invite the three members of the Xu family to attend the Bay Sound concert.

The Vancouver branch of the Taiwanese Women's Association of North America issued a statement on Facebook tonight, stating that the Taiwanese Women's Association of North America will hold its annual conference in Vancouver from April 18 to April 21, 2024. Nearly 200 members and attendees from all over North America will participate. Many speakers and guests from Taiwan will also be invited, including former chairman of the Council for Cultural Affairs Chen Yuxiu, music director of the Bay Sound Orchestra Li Zheyi, paper art master Hong Xinfu, and Chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission Xu Jiaqing.

The Vancouver branch of the Taiwanese Women's Association of North America restored the itinerary of Xu Jiaqing and her family that year and pointed out that on the evening of April 19, 2024, Xu Jiaqing attended the North American Taiwanese Women's Association dinner alone and gave a special speech after the dinner. Her husband and son did not participate in the evening's activities; on Saturday, April 20, Xu Jiaqing's husband used the weekend to take his son from the United States to Vancouver, Canada, to visit Xu Jiaqing at work.

The Vancouver branch of the North American Taiwanese Women's Association explained that Xu Jiaqing's son originally stayed in Taiwan. Later, because his mother Xu Jiaqing was busy with official work and often needed to go abroad, he changed to live with his American father in the United States. Mother and son were separated in the two places on weekdays, and their time together was limited. Therefore, when the Taiwanese Women's Association of North America learned that Xu Jiaqing's family had arrived in Vancouver, they understood that the family would spend less time together and be apart more often, and specially invited them to attend the Bay Sound concert on the 20th of the same month.

The Vancouver branch of the Taiwanese Women's Association of North America emphasized that the time, nature, and participation of the activities on the 19th and 20th are different and should not be confused. The photos posted by Chen Zhaozi were not the venue for the annual meeting of the Taiwan Women's Association of North America at that time.

However, the Vancouver branch of the Taiwanese Women's Association of North America also said that in response to external concerns about public funds, if there are questions about the air tickets, accommodation or other expenses for Xu Jiaqing's family to go to Vancouver this time, they should be based on official records and actual expenditure information from relevant government units. The Vancouver Chapter only explains the facts of the activities that it has personally participated in and is aware of, and does not make unsubstantiated inferences about government funding matters.
