[Exclusivo]Lu Xiuyan’s face-to-face opposition to Lai pigs upset AIT secret meeting Jiang Qichen Li Yingjie frankly says “You can’t control the KMT” ｜ Apple News ｜ Apple Daily

The Legislative Yuan will vote on Laizhu’s administrative order on the 24th, and the KMT also mobilized the masses to protest against the Legislative Yuan from tomorrow night. Not only did the Kuomintang protest in a series of big moves, but Taichung Kuomintang Mayor Lu Xiuyan recently turned against pigs in front of AIT director Li Yingjie, and the United States has been very critical. It is understood that the Chairman of the Kuomintang, Jiang Qichen, paid a private visit to Li Yingjie. In addition to reiterating that the Kuomintang was only anti-Laizhu and not anti-American, he also tactfully conveyed the message of “the Kuomintang cannot be controlled.” Party officials did not deny it, only reiterated that the Kuomintang and the AIT have been communicating continuously.

However, the KMT clarified through a press release today (22) that Jiang Qichen has never taken the initiative to see AIT Director Li after AIT Director Li Yingjie met with Mayor Lu, and stated that the KMT’s communication channels with all levels of AIT are fluid and all Express the position of the Kuomintang on the import of pigs in a timely manner and faithfully convey the aspirations of the majority of Taiwanese.

After President Tsai Ing-wen announced the opening of American pork containing ractopamine on August 28, the Lai pork issue became the focus of public opinion. The Kuomintang launched an anti-Lai pig march in the fall brawl in November, and then threw pork offal into the legislative chamber. On the international media page. Jiang Qichen also challenged Tsai Ing-wen according to the ECFA British double debate model, which allowed the Laizhu issue to continue to ferment. Lanying’s actions were noted to have caused dissatisfaction at AIT.

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan even declared in front of Li Yingjie that anti-Lei pigs are the widespread opinion of the Taiwanese people. AIT issued a statement denouncing that “politicians are spreading false information.” However, Xie Longjie, deputy secretary general of the party, emphasized in an interview with the media. , Lu Xiuyan only reflects public opinion, but AIT should apologize to Lu.

Party insiders revealed that Jiang Qichen took the initiative to call Li Yingjie after AIT’s statement. Jiang reiterated that the Kuomintang was opposed to ractopamine pigs, not American pigs, much less taking an anti-American stance, but Jiang Qichen was there too. It was tactfully expressed during the meeting that, although he is the president, he may not be able to control all the opinions of the party, and he was quite apologetic.

“Apple News” asked a party official. After listening to the silence for a few seconds, he didn’t want to admit it but didn’t deny it. He just kept reiterating that he had always been in contact with AIT.

In addition, some party affairs directors said privately that on the issue of anti-lesbian pigs, the Kuomintang displayed a “hot and cold inside out” situation. For example, after Lu Xiuyan and Li Yingjie presented their views on anti-American pigs, many party representatives and groups of party members have carried the message and expressed their opinions. Although they did not criticize the comments from the United States, they really appreciated Lu’s performance. However, the party’s top leaders must treat it coldly, maintain a good relationship with the United States, and avoid being affected politically. The Progressive Party’s reputation is “pro-China and anti-American” and, indeed, the scale is difficult to determine.

However, the Kuomintang issued a press release stating that the Kuomintang was opposed to imports of pork containing ractopamine from around the world and believed that the DPP government could not manage the risks to the safety of the products. food caused by the importation of pigs; the aforementioned position is clear and has never changed. Certain specific media or policies Commenters should make every effort to verify liability with the Kuomintang and AIT to address it.

The Kuomintang stated that it deliberately provoked the relationship between the Kuomintang Central Committee and the AIT, or falsely accused Jiang Qichen of seeking the understanding of US officials stationed in Taiwan with a two-handed strategy. In the best of cases, it is simply changing the focus of the opposition of the national population to the import of pigs and covering up the previous lack of cooperation from the DPP. The ridiculous behavior of public communication and openness, and the Kuomintang believes that all the people understand this low tactic. (Dai Qixiu, Huang Weiquan / Taipei Report)
