Boarding the Shaokang Situation Room to "Break the Circle" Shen Boyang: No pre-political willingness to participate in the Twin Cities Forum

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, attended the TVBS Shaokang Situation Room program today (7th) and was considered to be "actively breaking the circle." TVBS has now released program clips. In the face of repeated questions from United Daily News and TVBS media members, if elected, will he participate in the Twin Cities Forum? What is the "political prerequisite"? Shen Boyang emphasized that if there is no political prerequisite, he is willing to participate in the forum; the political prerequisite includes the 1992 Consensus, etc. He also mentioned that how the other party calls us and what we are called there are political prerequisites in themselves.

Li Chengying, special correspondent of Yihua District, North City, United Daily News, asked: Shen Boyang believes that the Twin Cities Forum is ineffective. Even if it were to be held, it would be capital to capital. However, he mentioned a while ago that the existing "Taipei-Shanghai" exchange framework can be retained. Do you support its renewal this year? It will most likely be held in December. Will you participate if elected?

Shen Boyang said that the city government has an international office, but it is not the same group of people who handle the Twin Cities Forum. At that time, it was explained that this framework and this group of people were already handling the Twin Cities Forum. There is no serious problem in keeping the framework, but it still needs to ensure that it has no political preconditions, is effective, has content, or can help the industry. If these can be achieved, it can be continued, otherwise, it should not be continued.

Shen Boyang responded that if the other party is willing to hold a forum without political preconditions, then they will naturally be willing to participate. Communicating with Shanghai officials is actually just a matter of risk control. If the industry has information security concerns, special attention should be paid to it. This does not mean that you cannot talk to them. For example, he said that there are also sports stations in Shanghai and he wants to share relevant experiences. There may not be any risks so far, but the question is, "What help can it provide to us? What help can we give to each other?"

Shen Boyang emphasized that some bottom lines must be maintained, such as AI sovereignty, information security, or wanting to spy on who you know to unite the war and steal secrets. Whether the remaining exchanges are substantively beneficial can be discussed later, emphasizing that as long as there are no political conditions, you can participate.

Zhao Shaokang asked, what is "political prerequisite"? The old Communist Party will have political conditions. He also turned to Li Chengying and asked Li Chengying what the political preconditions for the Twin Cities Forum were. Li replied, "China will avoid these political preconditions now." Media person Qian Yijun said that China currently has no political preconditions, at least not visible on the surface.

Shen Boyang said that the political conditions include the 1992 Consensus, one country, two systems, Taiwan is part of China, and Taiwan, China. Shen took the exchange of little cubs and bears as an example. When exchanging little cubs and bears with Japan, there are no political conditions, but when exchanging little cubs and bears with Shanghai, they must abide by their political conditions. How the other party is called and what their names are there are political conditions in themselves.
