Zhang Kaijun, a central committee member of the People's Party and chairman of the Taiwan Business Affairs Committee, recently led a delegation to China to attend the Strait Forum, causing a heated debate. Despite claiming to have attended with party authorization, the People's Party's central committee clarified that Zhang was not authorized, clearly distancing themselves from him. Zhang emphasized that advocating for the reunification of both sides of the strait is not exclusive to the Democratic Progressive Party and its affiliated organizations, and everyone can make efforts to defend the Republic of China. The controversy arose as he asserted that his views on cross-strait relations aligned with those of the party's chairman, Ko Wen-je. However, the party spokesperson immediately issued a statement denying his representation of the central party and emphasized the need to adhere to the Constitution and party regulations when engaging in exchanges. Zhang further questioned whether the DPP's approach to cross-strait relations is truly in Taiwan's best interest, calling for an end to double standards and political manipulation. He clarified that his statements at the forum did not exceed the party's stance on cross-strait relations, and he had addressed misunderstandings with fellow party member Chen Chao-zi. Through dialogue, Zhang aims to lower cross-strait hostilities and promote peaceful development between both sides, believing that verbal sparring is meaningless and that actions speak louder than words, echoing Ko Wen-je's directive that actions matter more than words in bridging differences between both sides.
