“The KMT, of course, is going to jump at the chance to demonstrate that they can cooperate with Beijing they can play nice together. And if in a year [Taiwanese] elect a KMT candidate as president, cross-strait relations will improve a lot. That's clearly what they think will be the most effective pitch to voters and if Beijing helps them make that pitch that's smart from Beijing's perspective.”

“Safeguarding the Republic of China, protecting democracy and freedom, and maintaining cross-strait and regional peace are the three most important missions of the KMT.”

“The KMT's decision to set up an office in [Washington] is aimed at better communication of our policy positions to Washington's policy communities, clarifying misinformation [on the party] … renewing friendships and making new ones. In the perceived long competition between the US and the People's Republic of China, the elites from Washington to Wall Street are in fact sided with US interests, not the DPP or the KMT. We truly believe that, especially in the next six to 10 years, both the US and Taiwan need to 'buy time' in dealing with a rapid expansion of the PRC's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The KMT is the party that can better maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait - a shared first priority between the US and Taiwan - by enhancing defence capability while mitigating threats at the same time.”

“While campaigning, the KMT framed the referendum as not simply a vote on these four issues, but as a referendum on the Tsai administration as a whole. Likewise, with midterm elections set to take place next year, the referendum would be perceived as a midterm for the midterm, in some sense, in that the referendum would be read as indicating the strength or weakness of support for the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] going into future elections.”

“This is first and foremost an issue that comes down to party lines. It gives the opposition the opportunity to tap into the fears caused by little-known agents - in this case, ractopamine - to defeat a policy of high importance to the Tsai administration. The KMT can use protectionism, fear, disinformation, and yes, latent anti-American sentiment in some circles in Taiwan, to create a perfect storm that will frustrate government policy. This, in turn, can harm US-Taiwan ties, and potentially undermine Taiwan's efforts to join CPTPP, another goal of the administration. This constitute is the weaponisation of an issue for short-term political gain, made possible by referenda.”

“It is inappropriate for China to link legal matters with politics. The episode could be worrisome for Taiwanese businesspeople. Far Eastern has made donations to not only the DPP, but also to the KMT [Kuomintang] and other parties. This is what it has to do, but it doesn't necessarily mean it supports Taiwanese independence.”

“Let's be frank, Johnny Chiang just didn't have the influence or the power to be able to do what he thought was necessary. As a result, he was switched out. If former chairpersons, who are supposed to wield the most authority in the party, are unable to implement reforms, it raises questions over whether Chu [Eric Chu] really can do so either. It's not a sure bet yet whether or not Eric Chu will in fact be the KMT's [Kuomintang] presidential candidate in 2024. He has a number of tests ahead of him to be able to generate enough support.”

“It was through our resolve and hard work that we took back Taiwan. It was the hard work of the KMT [Chinese Nationalist Party] that led to the protection, strengthening and democratization of Taiwan. the KMT would safeguard the Constitution; safeguard the democracy and freedom that comprised the spirit behind the nation's founding; safeguard the safety, peace and prosperity of the 23 million Taiwanese; and safeguard the dignity of the ROC and the facts regarding its history.”

“Pro-DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] supporters appeared unperturbed by Biden, while those leaning centre or right towards the KMT were more sceptical of the US president's intentions towards Taiwan. They think that Biden's 'Taiwan agreement' is another evidence that Taiwan is just a chess piece on the chessboard, indicating that Taiwan has no say in its own future since the agreement is merely made between Xi and Biden. Moreover, Biden mentioned that his talk with Xi happened last month, but Taiwanese people all witnessed the sharp increase of incursions this week. So, it seems that the talk has no, if not negative, impact on the stability of the Taiwan Strait.”

“The premier [Sun Yat-sen] established the Chinese Nationalist Party and led us in establishing the Republic of China. Every member of the KMT must always remember that we are all followers of the premier. Our central idea is to defend the Republic of China. Our central idea is the premier's lifelong effort to strive and work hard for our democracy and freedom.”

“Some [members of the KMT - Chinese Nationalist Party] are saying it should serve as a warning to Taiwan not to get too close to the US, and even use it as a taunt about China mounting a military invasion of Taiwan. Has the KMT [Chinese Nationalist Party] not learned its lesson after being deceived by the Chinese Communist Party so many times? Or maybe it is a case of KMT politicians manifesting their suffering as 'Stockholm syndrome' victims?”

“People on both sides of the Strait [Taiwan Strait] once again fell into a downward malicious spiral. In the past, the two sides of the Strait have had the glory of peaceful and stable development, to which the 1992 consensus was key. Since the KMT's [Chinese Nationalist Party] proposal in September last year of the concept of a 1992 consensus based on the Republic of China Constitution, public understanding and trust in the consensus has gradually recovered.”

“After shutting down the border for a long time, Taiwan has begun to see the virus spread. Fortunately, various vaccines have been introduced [around the world], and when more Taiwanese people get their jabs, the outbreak will soon be contained. However, people from the KMT [Kuomintang] keep criticizing the government, meddling with public order at this critical moment. They've chosen to be CCP's running dogs with their degraded morals.”

“We have also noticed that President Tsai [Tsai Ing-wen] has in recent speeches tried her best to show goodwill to the other side. The KMT continues to welcome remarks that would help melt the ice for cross-strait reconciliation. The ruling parties on both sides should make good use of flexible actions that are legal and reasonable to find opportunities to resume official cross-strait dialogue and normal people-to-people exchanges.”
