  • KMT Chairwoman Chiu Chen-hsuan claimed her visit to the US had "unprecedented" specifications and exceeded expectations.
  • She stated this during a press conference after her US trip.
  • Chiu Chen-hsuan's meeting with the US National Security Council was canceled, and the State Department only provided "departmental" level reception.

Kuomintang (KMT) Chairwoman Chiu Chen-hsuan has described her recent visit to the United States as having "unprecedented" specifications and yielding results that "exceeded expectations." Chiu made these assertions at a packed press conference held after her return from the US. The KMT leader's claims come despite a significant diplomatic setback: her scheduled meeting with the US National Security Council was canceled. Furthermore, the US State Department reportedly offered only "departmental" level reception during her visit. Chiu's characterization of the trip as "unprecedented" and highly successful stands in contrast to the reported reception she received, prompting commentary from political figures like Liang Wen-chieh, who sarcastically praised her self-assessment. The Mainland Affairs Council spokesperson was also mentioned in relation to the event.
