KMT Standing Committee Member's 'Early Unification' Remarks Spark Criticism

A Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) standing committee member's past calls for early unification with mainland China have resurfaced, drawing sharp criticism and accusations of the party engaging in "united front" tactics.

Chin Peng-chen, who also holds positions in Taiwanese business associations in mainland China, has previously stated his desire for "early unification." This stance has led a Facebook page, "Feng Kuang Da Lian 94 Shuang," to mock KMT Chairwoman Jaw Shaw-kong, suggesting she is "acting" while committee members are no longer hiding their intentions.

KMT standing committee members are no longer acting, Chairman Jaw Shaw-kong is still acting.

The page posted a graphic that stated, "Current Standing Committee Member Chin Peng-chen: Early unification to implement Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics." The post further claimed, "The KMT is undoubtedly the CCP's united front and rebellious group in Taiwan." The page's commentary added, "KMT standing committee members are no longer acting, Chairman Jaw Shaw-kong is still acting."

Online reactions echoed the sentiment, with commenters stating that the "wheel party" (a derogatory term for the KMT) is no longer pretending and is moving towards actions that betray Taiwan. Some users directly equated supporting the KMT with supporting the Chinese Communist Party, calling it a "parasitic KMT" and suggesting that Beijing's urgency is evident.
