Former Kuomintang legislator and Chairman of the Cross-Strait Development Research Foundation Ding Shouzhong, former Examination Dean Guan Zhong, and former Legislative Dean Wang Jinping recently attended the "Cross-Strait Peace Initiative Conference to Commemorate the Birthday of the Father of the Nation" and proposed a "Cross-Strait Peace Initiative" co-signed by more than 200 blue-collar experts and scholars. Qiu Jinyi, former Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Straits Exchange Foundation, also proposed a "10-year process of reunification", advocating a common market in 2030 and political consultations in 2036 to move towards reunification. Netizens criticized this, saying, "They have proven to themselves that voting for the Kuomintang means voting for the Communist Party."
Netizens forwarded a section of Qiu Jinyi's talk in the meeting on the social network, which mentioned that "during the 2028 presidential election, a referendum can be tied to the general election. If the referendum is passed, the new president will take office in May 2028. If it is still the Democratic Progressive Party, of course there is no need to talk about peace. We must find a way to allow the Kuomintang to return to power."
Qiu Jinyi also pointed out, "If there is a referendum authorization to establish a common market for both sides through negotiation, after the new president takes office, he can quickly negotiate with the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. First, establish a permanent representative office for each other to replace the functions of the Strait-based Association, and then conduct negotiations for a common market. We hope to establish a common market in two years based on Plan A, expand our flow of people, logistics, money, and information, so that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can greatly open exchanges and build goodwill for cross-Strait peace."
Qiu Jinyi also mentioned, "In addition to establishing a common market in 2030, we hope to establish a unified currency across the Taiwan Strait in 2032. The next step is to talk about how to resolve the political differences between the two sides. We can discuss federalism, confederation, one country, two systems, one country, one system, or other such arrangements that can be thought of. In 10 years, we can truly resolve the political issues between the two sides by 2036."
In response to this, netizens criticized "They have proven to themselves that a vote for the KMT is a vote for the Communist Party", "What ghost story have you heard...a cross-strait currency? Old blue man, do you know what nonsense you are talking about?", "I don't like the idea of "vote for the Democratic Progressive Party", but the KMT is so crazy that I can't vote for them", "Everyone in the audience is over 60 years old. The old people in the election determine the future of all young people in Taiwan...", "This violates the national security law, right?", "Why do the old people of the Kuomintang become the mouthpiece of the CCP as long as they lose the election?", "The Hong Kong dollar and the Australian dollar themselves are not unified, thank you.", "In order to regain power, the Kuomintang actually doesn't care much about the life and death of Taiwan. This is the main reason why they lost the war."
Some netizens even said bluntly, "I was originally considered a politically indifferent person, but in the past two years, the Legislative Yuan has been in chaos, and KMT has obviously become red. Now it is staged that it thinks it is peaceful but wants to unify the currency and one country, one system. I know that many people deeply hate the DPP, but KMT has become so popular that I don't recognize it."
"North Korean Defector Ice Wolf", a fan blog that often comments on current affairs, also reposted the video and criticized, "This is exaggerated... the KMT is getting more and more overdone." He also mentioned in the comment area, "Jiang Wanan and Jiang Qichen even sent flower baskets to this event!"
