The only presidential election debate of 2024 will be held on the 30th. The national positioning and cross-strait relations of the three candidates, blue, green and white, are also the focus of the Taiwanese people. DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te actually made a “gaffe” and said that the Republic of China is for Taiwan. After the meeting, Hou Ke denounced in unison, “Then you don’t want to elect the president of the Republic of China.” In response to the “China Times” question, whether he agreed with the “Constitution of the Republic of China” and the relevant additional provisions on cross-strait positioning, Hou Ke did not hesitate to express his position. Lai agreed, but he couldn’t say it, so he could only dodge the question and argued that the constitution should give priority to human rights protection.

Hou Youyi took the lead in stating that the Constitution will always be engraved in our hearts
During the media question-and-answer session of the second stage of the debate yesterday, Zhou Huiru, the executive deputy editor of this newspaper, asked on behalf of the “China Times” that the Constitution is the fundamental law and asked three people to clearly express whether they agree with the “Constitution of the Republic of China”. Secondly, the additional provisions of the Constitution There is text that responds to the needs of the country before reunification. The content shows that Taiwan and the mainland belong to the Republic of China. Do you agree that the mainland is also the territory of the Republic of China? Third, according to the above issues, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one country, two systems under the Republic of China, divided into mainland China and Taiwan and Penghu. Golden Horse System, do you agree or not?
While Hou Youyi and Ko Wenzhe both clearly expressed their agreement, Lai Qingde, the first person to answer, responded evasively, saying that he “identified” with the “Constitution of the Republic of China” but could not say it out loud. It only emphasizes that the Constitution is the fundamental law of the country, and when discussing the Constitution, priority should be given to the protection of human rights. Lai Geng bluntly said that judging from the Constitution enacted in 1946, “Actually, you will be disappointed.” The part currently operating in Taiwan is the additional provisions with Taiwan as the center and connotation.
Lai also said that if the Constitution or other laws can unite the people of the country, “of course we must respect it.” Then Lai changed the topic and said, “Regarding the Republic of China as the sacred mountain that protects the country on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, is this to promote peace or to promote peace?” It will bring disaster to Taiwan.” This is also Lai Ching-te’s second criticism of the Republic of China after “The Republic of China is a myth.”
Hou Ze was the first to state, “The Constitution of the Republic of China will always be engraved in my heart.” He also emphasized that Article 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of China clearly stipulates that the Republic of China basically adheres to the Three People’s Principles of being of the people, by the people, and for the people. This is very clear as a democratic republic, so Taiwan’s future is decided by 23 million people.
Hou criticized Lai and completely ignored the Constitution of the Republic of China. He has been the vice president of the Constitution of the Republic of China for four years. If he opposes the Constitution of the Republic of China, he should speak out bravely and step out. There is no need to dodge.
Ko Wenzhe also said that the three people are running for president of the Republic of China. They are not the governor of the United States or the governor of the mainland. Of course, they must abide by the Constitution of the Republic of China. “If we don’t agree, how can we be qualified to stand here today? “The Constitution of the Republic of China” We still have to agree with the Constitution.”
Lai Ching-tak admits that he made a gaffe and criticized Ke’s attacks.
Regarding Lai’s statement that “regarding the Republic of China as the sacred mountain that protects the country on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will bring disaster to Taiwan,” Ko Wenzhe also reminded Lai that his statement was a “gaffe” and even criticized Lai, “Then you go and elect the president of Taiwan.” , don’t elect the President of the Republic of China.” “I think AIT will call soon and ask, what do you mean by this sentence?” Hou Youyi asked Lai Qingde on Facebook in the evening, “Then which country are you electing for the president? “Criticizing Lai for clinging to the pro-Taiwan independence position that triggered the war and treating the “Constitution of the Republic of China” as nothing, not only brings trouble to the democratic alliance that longs for regional peace, but may even bring disaster to the entire Taiwanese people.
Later, Lai Qingde also said that he had made a “gaffe”. He wanted to talk about the “Constitution of the Republic of China” and less about the “Constitution” in an attempt to calm the controversy. He even criticized it and used his gaffe to attack, which was “very inappropriate.” However, media personality Huang Yangming bluntly said that even if he did not miss the Constitution, it would still be a faux pas, because in accordance with the “Regulations on the Oath of the President and Vice President”, Lai Qingde had already declared that he “must abide by the Constitution” when he was sworn in in 2020.
Ko Wenzhe asks how to pragmatically promote Taiwan independence
Ko Wenzhe yesterday asked Lai Qingde, who once claimed to be a “pragmatic Taiwan independence worker”, how to pragmatically promote Taiwan independence? Moreover, the U.S. government does not support Taiwan independence, and heavyweight American scholars also hope that the Democratic Progressive Party will cancel the Taiwan independence party platform. What should Lai do? Lai said that he is a “pragmatic worker” whose purpose is to protect Taiwan, build the country, develop the economy and benefit the people, and deliberately avoids talking about “pragmatic “Taiwan independence” workers.” As for the U.S. government or U.S. scholars’ opposition to Taiwan independence, it is basically a paragraph. The purpose is to maintain the status quo across the Taiwan Strait, but you have taken it out of context and deliberately distorted it for propaganda everywhere.
Ko Wenzhe’s response to Lai bluntly said after the meeting that it was “too outrageous.” He also said, “I am asking you (Lai) on behalf of the United States and China, how could you not be prepared.” Hou Youyi criticized that if Lai Qingde does not even give up Taiwan independence, this is not trusting Taiwan, but murdering Taiwan. This is really ungrateful.
