Taiwan's "Wang Bao" reported that Hsieh Chang-ting said in the program that due to the economic prosperity of the mainland in recent years, "the Communist Party is very confident in itself." Regarding this visit to the mainland, Hsieh Chang-ting said that because he is not the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party and is going as a private person, but he has different views on his political opinions and the differences in democracy between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, he advocates facing the differences. "Only after facing the differences can we understand and deal with them. When it comes to democratic politics, the mainland also says that there is democracy. How to deal with it and how to solve it is very important."

> Hsieh Chang-ting pointed out that Taiwan should take big steps forward, "I don't have a public position. There are many things that people with positions should do, and I should do something for the people of Taiwan." He also said in an interview, "If there is a better idea than 'constitutional consensus' or 'constitutional tables,' please put it forward."

This trip to mainland China has also been questioned within the party. Hsieh Chang-ting said, "Some people question whether I am doing the right thing. I think the DPP should be given one more choice and one more possibility. When I go to the mainland this time, several polls in Taiwan, including the Wangwang Zhongshi polls, are similar. They believe that my trip will be helpful to the positive interaction between the major political parties in cross-strait exchanges. 44% of them support my trip to the mainland and think it is positive, but 13% do not agree. We should also respect the voices of these people."

> Hsieh Chang-ting pointed out that several KMT presidents had been to the mainland in the past, and members of the DPP, including the "independence faction" Cai Tongrong, Yao Jiawen, Li Qingxiong and others, all went to the mainland with him 19 years ago.

Regarding the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan, Hsieh Chang-ting said that the mainland has studied us very thoroughly. They have millions of people working on Taiwan alone. The Communist Party has a party school and has studied Taiwan very well. They are studying issues such as democratic movements and environmental protection.
