Julian Chu: The relationship between the two sides can no longer become hostile

Chu Lilun: The relationship between the two sides can no longer become hostile Julian Chu arrived in Los Angeles on November 10 and began his pre-election "tour of the United States"...

Julian Chu arrived in Los Angeles on November 10 and began his "tour of the United States" before the election. On the afternoon of the 10th, at the hotel where he stayed, Julian Chu met with Ed Royce, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress, and Judy Zhao, a Chinese member of the U.S. Congress. Chu, Los Angeles County Sheriff Antonovich and other U.S. dignitaries later held a press conference at the San Gabriel Hilton in Los Angeles

" Because the U.S. Congress is on recess this week. They especially came to the hotel to see me. They are very concerned about several issues. The first is the TPP and the economic and trade cooperation between Taiwan and the United States; the second is Taiwan's participation in international organizations; it also mentioned the 'Ma Xi meeting'; our old friends. Long-term support for the Republic of China and Taiwan. Thank you also to these old friends for their encouragement to Zhu Lilun. ""' Zhu Lilun said.

Zhu Lilun emphasized: Regarding the "Ma Xi meeting", I believe that American friends have also seen the content from the media. Let me give you some explanations on some aspects. But this is not the main purpose of my trip! The main purpose of my trip is to express that if the Kuomintang and Zhu Lilun are elected, they will continue to develop or continue Taiwan-US relations in the future and be a peaceful maintainer of cross-strait relations. Let American friends understand how I will be a peacekeeper.

> Zhu Lilun said: The Kuomintang plays an important role in peace, maintenance and promotion of cross-strait relations. Similarly, in the future, we also hope that in the entire Taiwan-US relationship, whether it is our economic and trade relations, our security cooperation, or various friendships, we can continue. I hope that during this visit, everyone can give us more cheer and encouragement. In the future elections, we can gain the strength of all parties and everyone will help and support us.

Zhu Lilun said: The most important significance of the "Ma Xi meeting" is that after more than 60 years, the leaders of both sides of the Taiwan Strait can meet and sit down to talk with equal dignity and under the witness of everyone around the world. Of course many parties have expectations. But I think the most important foundation is to establish the hope that both sides of the Taiwan Strait will achieve win-win cooperation and mutual benefit through peaceful development. In this process, a very important step is for everyone to reduce hostility to each other. I think this is the real key focus. We can reduce hostility to each other and enhance mutual trust, and all issues can gradually lead to mutual trust and a win-win situation for both parties. So I think this is a very important meaning of "Xi Hui".

Zhu Lilun said: I have mentioned it several times, just do the right thing without thinking about it. After 66 years, the top leaders of both sides of the Taiwan Strait can meet, sit down and talk together. That is a very important milestone. If it can be continued, no matter who is elected "President of the Republic of China" in the future. Being able to continue to do this will definitely be positive for the peaceful development or win-win cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. If Julian Chu is elected, I believe this matter will definitely continue. Then I very much hope that everyone can establish such a consensus that the two sides of the Taiwan Straits can no longer go back and become a confrontational or hostile relationship. It is very important to develop cross-strait relations on such a common basis. So I think the most important meaning of "Ma Xi Meeting" is here. So when "President Ma" mentioned to me that he was going to meet with Xi Jinping, I interpreted it very positively. I didn't even think about the direct relationship or impact this has with the election. Zhu Lilun said: I met with the "President" before my trip, and we talked about many things. Of course, this also includes the "Ma Xi Meeting". There was another phone call yesterday (9th). The "President" is very concerned about this visit, which also expresses the importance we attach to Taiwan-US relations.

Zhu Lilun said: This time I am visiting the United States. Of course, I will convey the KMT’s position on cross-strait policy. If there are friends from the US who are concerned about the "Ma Xi meeting", I will also convey the same message I just gave to the friends from the US. But more importantly, we hope that we can express what we will do if the Kuomintang can continue to be in power in the future. What role will we play in Taiwan-US relations? Likewise, we must be a maintainer of peace and stability in cross-Strait relations.

Zhu Lilun said: Taiwan-US relations are very important. Taiwan is very concerned about joining the second round of TPP negotiations, which is very important for Taiwan's future economic and trade development. Thank you to the United States for passing its support for our joining Interpol last week. We hope that the United States can continue to fully support and assist us.

> Zhu Lilun said: Of course, friends from the United States will also be very concerned about the future cooperation between Taiwan and the United States in overall security maintenance, and what kind of strategy we should have. Of course, what is more important is that the United States is very concerned about cross-strait relations, especially after the "Ma-Xi meeting." If Zhu Lilun can be elected in the future, how can we develop on such a basis?

> Zhu Lilun said: The relationship between the United States, China and Taiwan is a very important cooperative relationship. The stability of cross-strait relations will directly affect the relationship between the United States and the mainland and the United States and Taiwan. The relationship between Taiwan and the United States is very stable, and the relationship between the United States and the mainland is also very stable, which will also promote the development of more stable cross-strait relations. A very stable trilateral relationship is very important from a political or economic perspective.

> Zhu Lilun emphasized: For Taiwan, our trade with mainland China accounts for 27%. If Hong Kong is included, it is almost 43%. We are now the 10th largest trading partners in the United States. That country is our third largest trading partner. Both sides are our very important trading partners. We are indispensable for the cooperation of the entire regional economy. Similarly, the current trade relationship between the United States and mainland China is also very important now. The three parties now hope to continue all trade and economic cooperation under a stable development situation. In addition, in terms of past industrial cooperation, we know that some high-tech industries in the United States have gradually moved to the four Asian Tigers for production, especially Taiwan. In recent years, Taiwan's OEM has moved to mainland China. Then our three-party cooperation relationship is about how to cooperate in innovative R&D management or production and marketing. The division of labor among the three parties is also something we all need to consider together in the future. So these three are indispensable, and this is a very close relationship. Zhu Lilun also said: I never said that all our eggs would be placed in the mainland basket. Including the period when I was mayor. The most obvious thing, our breakthrough is our investment and investment promotion. It’s all about win-win efforts. I have repeatedly emphasized that win-win refers to Indonesia in ASEAN, including neighboring countries. Because Indonesia is the largest. Also includes India. In fact, Taiwan's entire economic and trade layout must be globalized. But the mainland market is absolutely indispensable. That's why I say that Taiwan must join all economic and trade organizations, including TPP and RCEP. There is no doubt about it.

Zhu Lilun said: How can we, the young generation, make breakthroughs? How about innovative research and development in software and services? How can the government set up some platforms? I've mentioned it many times. This includes our education reform and basic education. But how to connect with the industry? It will take me half an hour to explain. This is very important. After all, we must give our young people more hope. We young people should also not criticize challenges. I have always emphasized one thing: Taiwan must open its door. To face the whole world. As long as the door is opened and we face the whole world, Taiwan's opportunities will be all over the world.

> Zhu Lilun also talked about how to promote the reform of the "Congress".

Zhu Lilun finally said: It is very important for us to unite the entire party. Because we want to win the support of the whole people, it is very important to unite our party. Only after building a consensus, we can do our best to win the public's support for us and win the final election. The same applies to cross-strait policies, Taiwan-US relations, and various policies. We have gradually introduced them, and they are obviously different from the candidates of the Democratic Progressive Party. People will gradually be able to make judgments and choices.
