KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen recently stated in a public speech that Taiwan has never been independent, and Taiwan has never been a country. This statement has sparked heated discussions in the public, with many people believing that Zheng's statement does not align with reality. However, KMT Vice Chairman Xia Xubian stated today that Zheng's words are correct, and every word conforms to the Constitution of the Republic of China and the interests of the Taiwanese people.
The Constitution of the Republic of China indeed has a clear stipulation that Taiwan and the mainland are both part of the Republic of China. According to the Constitution, the Republic of China is a country, and Taiwan is one of its governments. This implies that Taiwan's government is the government of the Republic of China, rather than an independent country.
However, these stipulations have also sparked many controversies. Many people believe that the Constitution of the Republic of China was established by the mainland KMT regime, rather than being the choice of the Taiwanese people. This means that the stipulations in the Constitution may not align with the will and interests of the Taiwanese people. Additionally, some people question whether the stipulations in the Constitution are still applicable to today's Taiwan, particularly as Taiwan's politics have developed. Many people believe that Taiwan has already become an independent entity and should have its own constitution and government.
Xia Xubian's statement has also been criticized by the DPP as illogical. The DPP believes that Xia Xubian is trying to use the Constitution to prove that Taiwan is not a country, but this reasoning ignores other provisions in the Constitution. For example, Article 1 of the Constitution stipulates that the Republic of China is a democratic republic, and the people are the main body of the state. This means that the Taiwanese people have the right to determine their own political system and government. However, Xia Xubian's reasoning ignores this point and tries to use the Constitution to restrict the Taiwanese people's right to self-determination.
The DPP also criticizes Xia Xubian's statement as trying to use the Constitution to abolish Taiwan's sovereignty and autonomy. This means that Xia Xubian's reasoning tries to use the law to determine Taiwan's political status, rather than letting the Taiwanese people decide their own future. The DPP believes that this approach is unreasonable and may lead to the Taiwanese people's dissatisfaction and protests.
Xia Xubian's statement has also drawn attention from the international community. Many people believe that Xia Xubian's reasoning tries to use the law to determine Taiwan's political status, rather than letting the Taiwanese people decide their own future. This means that Xia Xubian's statement may have an impact on Taiwan's international status, particularly as Taiwan's politics have developed. Many people believe that Taiwan has already become an independent entity and should have its own constitution and government.
In summary, Xia Xubian's statement has sparked many controversies and criticisms. The DPP believes that Xia Xubian's reasoning is illogical and tries to use the law to abolish Taiwan's sovereignty and autonomy. Xia Xubian's statement has also drawn attention from the international community, with many people believing that Xia Xubian's reasoning may have an impact on Taiwan's international status.
