KMT Chair Cheng Li-wun criticized after meeting Xi Jinping in Beijing
2026-04-10
KMT Chair Cheng Li-wun on Friday met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Cheng had long expressed anticipation for the meeting, even referring to herself as a “sunshine doll.” The sit-down took place during a grand reception that underscored Beijing’s regard for the politician. As expected, backlash in Taiwan has been swift. Critics in the DPP have slammed it as a political show, accusing Beijing of using Cheng to create the impression that both sides of the strait support unification. Let’s hear more.
Xi Jinping
Chinese leader
The territory cannot be divided, the country cannot be thrown into disorder, the nation cannot be split apart. The broad trend of compatriots on both sides of the strait becoming closer, interacting more, and coming together will not change.
Cheng Li-wun
KMT Chair
That the Taiwan Strait will no longer be a focal point of potential conflict, nor become a chessboard for outside forces to intervene in. On the shared political foundation of adhering to the “1992 Consensus” and opposing Taiwan independence, we will make peaceful development across the strait irreversible, with harmonious coexistence at the core.
Rosalia Wu
Lawmaker (DPP)
This meeting between Xi and Cheng is nothing but a pre-written script. It’s a political show, an attempt by Beijing to use Cheng Li-wun’s voice to shape international perception into believing that Beijing can influence Taiwan’s political direction. The international community has also interpreted Cheng Li-wen’s cooperation as support for this false peace, which is in reality more of a surrender. This narrative supports Xi Jinping’s anti-independence, pro-unification line, and it’s sending a very misleading message to the world.
Chen Ming-chi
Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs
One, the ROC and the PRC are not subordinate to the other. Two, Taiwan’s future must be decided by its people through democratic means. Three, China must immediately stop its harassment with military aircraft and vessels near Taiwan. These three points should’ve been clearly conveyed to Xi Jinping.
During her trip in China these past few days, Cheng has constantly made reference to the so-called “1992 Consensus.” But she conveniently did not mention a key part of the supposed cross-strait consensus, which is that each side of the strait agrees that there is one China, while leaving the definition of China up to different interpretations. Critics say that has made the consensus essentially an endorsement of Beijing’s “One China” framework. Cheng has repeatedly attempted to frame her visit as paving the way for peace, but critics say the only direction she is pushing for is toward China’s unification ambitions.

國共兩黨領導人睽違十年會面! 鄭麗文:我是晴天娃娃我不怕
2026-04-10
國民黨主席鄭麗文期盼已久的鄭習會正式登場！出發前她好心情全寫在臉上，還說自己是晴天娃娃。上午11點，鄭麗文與習近平在人民大會堂"東大廳"會面，高規格接待顯見北京對鄭麗文的重視，但綠營就擔心，這場政治大戲背後，是北京想透過鄭麗文的嘴，向國際營造"兩岸支持統一"的錯誤假象。
[[中國國家主席 習近平]]
“國土不可分，國家不可亂，民族不可散，兩岸同胞走親走近的大潮流，不會改變”
[[國民黨主席 鄭麗文]]
“台灣海峽將不再成為潛在衝突的焦點，更不會成為外力介入的棋盤，在堅持九二共識，反對台獨的共同政治基礎上，使兩岸的和平發展走向不可逆轉，已和合共生為核心”
[[立委(民) 吳思瑤]]
“習鄭會當然這一場設定好的劇本，這場政治大戲就是北京，要透過鄭麗文的嘴，來形塑給國際社會看到，北京是可以影響台灣政治走向，國際社會也在解讀，鄭麗文來配合這種，假和平真投降的支持，反獨促統習近平路線，就是帶給國際社會非常錯誤的訊息”
[[外交部次長 陳明祺]]
“中華民國跟中華人民共和國互不隸屬的事實，中華民國台灣的未來，必須由台灣人民透過民主方式決定，中國能夠立即的停止機艦擾台，這三點要準確傳遞給習近平”
鄭麗文此行把九二共識掛在嘴上，但一中各表始終沒說出口，落入一中框架。儘管鄭麗文宣稱，這場會面讓人看見和平希望，但看在台灣政壇眼裡，恐怕只是活在中共劇本裡的政治幻想。
