Chen Yu-chen asks 'Why not think we can united front China?' Netizens mock her

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council announced a ban on central and local government officials participating in the upcoming Cross-Strait Forum, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from some legislators.

“

Why don't you think we can also conduct united front work on them?

KMT legislator Chen Yu-chen questioned the necessity of the ban, suggesting that the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) should have more confidence. "Why don't you think we can also conduct united front work on them?" she asked, implying that cross-strait exchanges should not be unilaterally viewed as Chinese propaganda efforts.

Her remarks, however, were met with widespread derision online. Netizens quickly pointed out the perceived hypocrisy and questioned her position, with comments such as "The problem is that Taiwanese people don't want to unite front others, only the Communist Party wants to unite front others every day" and "Don't betray Taiwanese and Kinmen people, and you'll be thankful."

The problem is that Taiwanese people don't want to unite front others, only the Communist Party wants to unite front others every day.

This exchange highlights the deep divisions and differing perspectives on cross-strait relations within Taiwan. While some advocate for continued engagement, others view such interactions with suspicion, fearing they could undermine Taiwan's sovereignty.
