Font size

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan recently talked about national security issues. Democratic Progressive Party City Councilor Lin Deyu said that the mayor has a high degree of confidence in national security issues. What is the current relationship between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China? Is it the two-nation theory? Or is it a special state-to-state relationship? Lu Xiuyan was asked to make it clear, otherwise how could the government be expected to pay attention to the Sino-US dialogue? Lu Xiuyan said that she would adhere to the Constitution and strongly protect the Republic of China.

Because before the Sichuan-Xi meeting, Lu Xiuyan repeatedly reminded the Lai government to hold a national security conference and asked the government to pay attention to the content of the Sichuan-Xi meeting during the four-day holiday. Lin Deyu said that Lu Xiuyan has recently been asking the government to pay attention to the dialogue between the two people in response to the Sichuan-Xi meeting, demanding that the national security conference be convened as soon as possible. She is very concerned about Taiwan's national future, but he first asked Lu Xiuyan, what is the definition of the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China at this stage? Do you want to pin Taiwan's future on Trump or Xi Jinping?

Lin Deyu asked Lu Xiuyan to remind Lai Qingde to pay attention to the conversation between Trump and Xi Jinping in person. He should first ask KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen, because Zheng Liwen is a person with "standards" and the ability to talk to Xi Jinping.

Lin Deyu even asked Lu Xiuyan whether she supported Taiwan's future and the people of Taiwan deciding for themselves? He emphasized that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other. The Constitution has never stated that the Republic of China is subordinate to the People's Republic of China. Upholding the Constitution is to ensure that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other. Taiwan has never accepted the rule of the People's Republic of China.

Lin Deyu pointed out that whether the national security team has convened a contingency meeting is just like the list of talks between Trump and Xi. It focuses on the undisclosed parts. Therefore, Taiwan’s national security meeting and national security team cannot beat the gongs and drums in the sandbox deduction and make all information public. The information that Taiwan already possesses cannot be made public to the enemy China.
