Chairman of the Taiwan People's Party Huang Guochang attended the tea party at the campaign headquarters of the People's Party Keelung City Council candidate Lu Chengyou in Keelung today (1st). He was asked about Liberty Times' report that the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit was held in Shenzhen, China, from November 18 to 19. The host China engaged in differential treatment in the APEC letter. We have privately protested to China. Huang Guochang emphasized that the Taiwan People's Party's position is very clear, which is to severely condemn any form of suppression, because this will cause the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to become further apart and hinder healthy cross-Strait exchanges.

This newspaper exclusively reported that the APEC summit will be held in Shenzhen, China, from November 18th to 19th. Representatives of our country’s leaders attending APEC meetings will attend the APEC meeting as usual with invitation letters. According to reports, the host China has engaged in differential treatment in APEC's letter. Although China has sent a letter to us, it is not a formal "letter" and has been sent in a "discriminatory" manner. We have privately protested to China. This afternoon, media reporters asked Huang Guochang his views on this matter at the tea party held by the Keelung City Council candidate Lu Chengyou of the Taiwan People’s Party and made the above remarks.

Huang Guochang said that the Taiwan People's Party's position is to severely condemn any form of suppression, because this will only cause the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to become further apart and hinder healthy and orderly exchanges between the two sides.

Huang Guochang said that he was very surprised to find that this news was published exclusively through the Liberty Times, and that officials spoke to reporters and then privately protested to the CCP. “It’s strange that our government should formally hold a press conference to publicly discuss such serious matters. "Protest, strong protest", explain clearly to the Taiwanese people, he believes that the Taiwanese people will stand with the government; how could they anonymously speak to the Liberty Times through officials, and then protest with the Chinese Communist Party in private? He is a little confused. Is this really fighting for the national identity of the Republic of China? What kind of dark operation is still going on?
