On June 15, KMT Vice Chairman Lien Sheng-wen attended the Cross-Strait Forum where he stated, 'As a proud Taiwanese, I can also be a dignified Chinese,' sparking criticism from the opposition camp. In response, Lien reiterated, 'I am also a proud Taiwanese.' Lien, whose ancestors migrated from Fujian to Taiwan 300 years ago, emphasized the possibility of being both a Taiwanese and a Chinese in his speech. He highlighted his family's history, including involvement in nationalist movements and the anti-Japanese resistance, asserting his belief in being a dignified Chinese according to the ROC constitution. Lien's detailed report on these matters is expected at the upcoming party meeting.
