Taiwan Lawmaker's Cousin Slams Her Pro-China Stance, Calls Her 'Already Chinese'

Taiwanese legislator Ursula Ow-Ling, a member of the Kuomintang party, is facing significant backlash for her repeated public declarations of being "Chinese" and her statements supporting China's claim over Taiwan. Her remarks, such as questioning "What's wrong with China reunifying Taiwan?", have ignited fierce debate and criticism both domestically and internationally.

Ursula Ow-Ling is already Chinese, and Taiwanese people look down on her!

Adding to the controversy, Ow-Ling's own cousin, Weng Ruei-bin, has publicly denounced her stance. In online comments, Weng stated that Ow-Ling is "already Chinese" and that "Taiwanese people look down on her." He further alleged that her German doctoral dissertation was supervised by her husband, casting doubt on her academic achievements and raising questions about her loyalty to Taiwan.

These comments have resurfaced discussions about Ow-Ling's family history, with Weng previously sharing details about their ancestors' educational backgrounds in Taiwan, Japan, and the United States. He had emphasized the importance of "not forgetting one's roots." The current controversy has prompted Weng to express his disappointment, noting that while he hoped his cousin would moderate her behavior, her recent actions have become "unbearable to watch."

I wrote it out hoping she would restrain herself a bit, but her performance today is really unbearable to watch!
