Behind the Scenes/Xia Liyan’s mission to China exposed? National security personnel are seizing the opportunity: it is difficult to resolve doubts without clear explanation (data map)
According to “Reuters”, KMT Vice Chairman Xia Liyan traveled to China in a low-key manner on the evening of December 13 (Wednesday). Since it coincided with the 30 days before Taiwan’s election campaign, Taiwan’s political circles caused an uproar and questioned why he chose to visit China at this sensitive time. In this regard, national security sources revealed that it just so happened that Xia Liyan went to China at the same time as China’s economic coercion move to conduct an early investigation of trade barriers against Taiwan, and the itinerary was not transparent. Not only the Taiwanese people were curious, but international public opinion also found it strange. What is the basic position of the Kuomintang? It was pointed out that Xia Liyan went to China urgently, firstly, to deal with the recent serious cases arrested by the inspection unit, and hoped that China would postpone the invitation of village directors to travel to China for free; secondly, to strengthen Taiwanese businessmen’s return to Taiwan to vote, and hoped that China could expand subsidies as soon as possible .
National security sources said that if foreign media did not report it, no one would know that Xia Liyan traveled to China. In addition, Xia Liyan attended the Kuomintang Central Committee meeting as usual that afternoon and looked as normal, but he suddenly left for China in the evening. The next day Reuters published the report, and the Kuomintang was ready to respond. The DPP was even scolded inexplicably because it did not reveal that Xia Liyan went to China. National security sources also revealed that Xia Liyan’s trip to China did have three special features, and they were all at critical points in time. First, at a time when the whole world is paying attention to China’s involvement in Taiwan’s elections, Xia Liyan went there 30 days before the election, which attracted attention. The last time Xia Liyan visited China, it happened to coincide with the visit of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Pelosi to Taiwan. However, Xia Liyan’s visit to China did not shorten the CCP’s exercises against Taiwan, but extended the duration of the exercises.
National security sources said that the second point is that at a time when the global supply chain system is withdrawing from China, the Kuomintang is now proposing to restart services trade and join the Chinese market; third, with less than a month to go before Taiwan’s general election, China’s memorial ceremony Before the trade barrier investigation was conducted in advance, Xia Liyan happened to be in China. National security personnel believed that this would make society feel strange. And at this point in time, if there is no transparent explanation of this trip, not only the Chinese people will be curious, but the international public opinion will also be very curious about what the Kuomintang’s basic views are on China’s oppression, election, and economic coercion of Taiwan. National security sources emphasized that there is no doubt that these actions and timings of Xia Liyan and the Kuomintang have been seen. If the Kuomintang fails to clearly explain the above three points, it will be difficult to resolve concerns from all walks of life.
In addition, according to reliable sources, Xia Liyan may have two tasks, “one slow and one fast” during this trip. In the slow part, because China has recently actively invited village leaders to take groups to travel to China for free, it has been found that many people in the groups have come out to report. Not only have the results not been seen, but there is also a strong negative social perception. In addition, the inspections have been very thorough. Tight, I hope this part will be postponed. The other part is “hope to speed up”, which means that instead of putting resources on traveling to China, it is better to arrange preferential air tickets for returning to Taiwan to vote. Although there are currently discount packages on sale between China’s return to Taiwan to vote and the Spring Festival (limited to Chinese airlines), the key point is that there is still a time difference. Instead of this, it is better to provide more subsidies and strengthen the arrangements for Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwanese cadres to return to Taiwan to vote. Incentives to get more Taiwanese people to come back and vote. But why Xia Liyan had to go in person during these communications is unknown. “
