Legislative Yuan Hanguo-yu's "unscripted performance" during his speech at the National Day Convention today aroused heated discussion from the outside world. Chang Yu-meng, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Generation Community Association, pointed out that when Han Kuo-yu delivered his speech, some people wanted to turn Taiwan into the 51st state of the United States, and some people wanted to turn it into Japan's fifth largest island. Not only did AIT Director Gu Liyan sit next to the podium, but there were also many distinguished guests from the United States and Japan. "It is completely an irreparable diplomatic disaster."
Zhang Yumeng posted on Facebook today that in addition to Gu Liyan, guests at today's conference include Micah Beckwith, the lieutenant governor of Indiana, USA. This year, he flew to Taiwan specially, and ended up listening to Han Kuo-yu at close range, saying "Taiwan has become the 51st state of the United States" off-script. You know, Lieutenant Governor Beckwith is very supportive, and Indiana is Taiwan's first sister state in the United States.
This is not over yet. Han Guoyu continued to bombard the map and said, "Someone wants to become the fifth largest island in Japan." Zhang Yumeng called it "crazy." He pointed out that more distinguished guests came from Japan. Japanese Congressman Keiji Furuya brought a total of 27 Japanese parliamentarians from the "Japan-Taiwan Friendship Parliamentarians Alliance" to participate in the Double Ten National Day celebrations. Moreover, this alliance was originally called the "Japanese-Chinese Parliamentarians' Symposium." It is because of the warming of friendship between Taiwan and Japan that the name was changed to the "Japan-Taiwan Friendship Parliamentarians Alliance" in June this year.
Zhang Yumeng said that the president of the alliance, Keiji Furuya, has done a lot for Taiwan, including the exhibition of the National Palace Museum in Japan for the first time, and helping Taiwan correct its name. You must know that in the past, Taiwanese could only write "China" in Japan's household registration transcripts. In May of this year, Japan’s Ministry of Justice finally admitted that Taiwanese can write “Taiwan” in the nationality column of their Japanese family registers. Three months ago, Keiji Furuya received the "Grand Ribbon Star Medal" from Lai Ching-te on behalf of Taiwan.
As a result, today, Han Kuo-yu also said in front of Keiji Furuya that "someone in Taiwan wants to become Japan's fifth largest island." Not only Keiji Furuya, but also what are the thoughts of the 27 Taiwanese congressmen who flew here specially?
Zhang Yumeng also criticized that the third sentence of Han Kuo-yu's remarks was "Someone wants to turn Taiwan into China's 31st province." "First of all, this person is the chairman of your party. Second, all our friends are sitting in the audience, listening to Han Kuo-yu say such humiliating words." The King and Princess of Eswatini flew more than 10,000 kilometers to come to Taiwan to hear Han Kuo-yu say, "We want to become a province of China." Next to him sat the Ambassador of St. Lucia, Robert Lewis.
Zhang Yumeng criticized Han Guoyu for being really embarrassed. For the first time in history, the president of the Legislative Assembly criticized the president for having a "political mystique" during the National Day ceremony, denouncing it as a "fake democracy but a true dictatorship" and completely mistaking the National Day ceremony as a KMT rally. If you scold me in the Legislative Yuan, go on a political commentary program, or go to the election field, no one will stop you. "But you, Han Kuo-yu, are standing on the podium of the National Day Convention. All the people sitting in the audience are friendly countries and envoys. As a result, you are not enough to criticize Qingde and Zhuo Rongtai. In front of other countries, you also describe Taiwan as a country that wants to give away its sovereignty all the time." It is a completely irreversible diplomatic disaster. "
