Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan met with AIT Director Li Yingjie yesterday (16) and the closed-door meeting was temporarily changed to public, and he expressed his rejection of Laizhu’s position on the spot. In response, Liu Shijie, former diplomat and director of the Times Force International Department, said: “This is a political assault (ambush).”
Liu Shijie posted on Facebook that Mayor Lu, as the elected leader, certainly has the right to express public opinion. If the two sides had originally said that it was a closed-door meeting, frankly speaking, the door was closed and Mayor Lu wanted to yell at AIT officials to speak out against Laizhu, and he would have no objection. After all, this was her own political decision as mayor, and whether it was appropriate was another matter. one thing.
But if the two sides originally agreed to a closed-door meeting, the Taichung city government sent a reporter to Caitong, which is a subjective and deliberate surprise. When Lao Mei deals with Taiwan, what she hates the most are accidents. Zero surprise is what Lao Mei has repeatedly said.
Liu Shijie said bluntly that it is not that Taiwan officials cannot express different opinions, but that if the two sides agree to do so, they would not go to the scene and it would be another matter. Mayor Lu’s political operation is very simple, which must arouse the same hatred from the Blue Field supporters. “Look! Only I, Lu Xiuyan, dare to strangle AIT in person.” Politically, Mayor Lu can score. But diplomacy with the United States, the credibility of the KMT was once again seriously damaged.
He asked, the Kuomintang has repeatedly emphasized that it is a pro-US route, but from the mayor of Hanguo Yu in 2018 to the present, including the recent AIT banquet lawmaker incident, the KMT’s actions have repeatedly made the party question whether it is really pro-American or fake. ?
Liu Shijie emphasized that diplomacy requires meticulous operation. Maybe Mayor Lu can ask her subordinate deputy mayor Linghu Rongda. Vice Mayor Linghu has extensive experience in the United States. On one occasion he served as representative in Canada and vice minister of administration in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I believe that Linghu can provide Mayor Lu with the appropriate advice. Is this operation a bonus or a deduction?
