Taiwan People's Party Chairman Ko Wenzhe led an iron horse team to Hsinchu to promote the party's candidates during the local elections.
Ko Wenzhe, the founding chairman of the Taiwan People's Party, dispatched the "Abei Iron Horse Team" at 2 o'clock this afternoon, in the name of "Ride together with Xinjiang for the Mid-Autumn Festival", starting from the square in front of Zhudong Railway Station, planning to rush to the party's Hsinchu party headquarters under the scorching sun an hour later, and then proceed to Xinfeng and Hukou, all the way to promote the party's county council candidates Zhong Xinyu, Lin Shuoyan, You Yating, Xu Shengling, Chen Xiumei and others.
Well-known Japanese political scientist and Honorary Chair Professor of National Tsinghua University Ogasawara Yoshiyuki also unexpectedly appeared at the scene. Ke Wenzhe once said in surprise that "we can make an appointment."
Huang Xinyu, spokesman for the People's Party's Zhubei mayoral candidate Qiu Chenyuan's campaign office, said that Ogasawara Yoshiyuki recently contacted her and expressed that she wanted to take a close look at the People's Party's campaign activities and grassroots support for the general election at the end of the year, so she invited him to attend the "Abei Iron Horse Team" event at Zhudong Railway Station today.
Ogasawara Yoshiyuki declined media interviews on the spot. He simply confided that he was afraid of reporters in Taiwan, because reporters would take quotes out of context and amplify them infinitely, and then kept a certain distance from the media.
Ke Wenzhe was asked why he chose the Mid-Autumn Festival and rode an iron horse in Zhu County to promote the event in such a hot weather. Would he worry about heatstroke?
He said that this is the cheapest way to elect, "there are no stakes and you can only rely on two feet." Only in this way can the party's candidates have enough popularity and favorability. As for the whole distance, it is not as long as the 360 kilometers of Beigao. If you are afraid of heat stroke, you have to drink more water along the way. Qiu Chenyuan added, "Without financial resources, we can only rely on physical strength" and "Without political calculations, we can only rely on political integrity."
What do you think about the news a few days ago that Xu Xinying, the candidate for Hsinchu County Mayor of the Kuomintang, is 6 percentage points behind Zheng Chaofang of the Democratic Progressive Party in the polls? Ke Wenzhe said, "This is a fact and you still want to ask me?" He couldn't comment on the facts, after all, that's what happened.

On the surface, the second meeting between Sichuan and Xi was received with high standards, but behind the scenes, a dramatic diplomatic confrontation was staged. China originally wanted to use the U.S. National Archives to review the three U.S.-China communiqués to suppress U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, but the U.S. instead used the three founding documents to welcome the visit, and no specific commitments were made on the substantive issues.

The Trump administration formally requested the U.S. Supreme Court on the 24th to lift restrictions on the "third country deportation" policy, after a federal appeals court upheld a lower court ruling restricting the policy of deporting undocumented immigrants to non-native countries.
During his visit to the United States, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that he would invite 100,000 American teenagers to come to China for exchange and study in the next five years, continue to promote Sino-US people-to-people exchanges and youth interaction, and lay a solid public opinion foundation for the future of bilateral relations.

The British Economist published an article analyzing the rise of the seventh generation of the Chinese Communist Party. As Xi Jinping is expected to remain in power and the sixth-generation echelon has been hit hard by the anti-corruption campaign, the seventh-generation echelon born in the 1960s and 1970s is gradually rising, and their growth background and thinking have attracted attention.

In response to Xi Jinping's mention of "China and the United States fighting side by side" in World War II during the U.S.-China interaction, the Mainland Affairs Council stated on the 25th that the People's Republic of China, which was only established in 1949, did not exist during World War II. The Republic of China was a solid ally of the United States at that time, and criticized Beijing for distorting history and spreading wrong historical views.

After U.S. President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen called on President Lai Ching-te to open the door to cross-strait dialogue. The Democratic Progressive Party responded that Taiwan's door to dialogue has never been closed, and accused the Beijing authorities of refusing equal dialogue and elevating military threats as the crux of the problem.
