MAC minister visits Sun Yat-sen’s Nanjing mausoleum (2014/02/12)

For the first time since the Republic of China government came to Taiwan, a Cabinet-level official has paid respects to Sun Yat-sen at his Nanjing mausoleum. During the visit, Mainland Affairs Council Minister Wang Yu-chi used his official title and Taiwan’s official name, in spite of apparent requests from Beijing that he refrain from these sensitive topics. 

In the past while in Taipei, Wang Yu-chi accompanied President Ma Ying-jeou in paying tribute to Sun Yat-sen. This time, Wang was able to get much closer to the ROC founder.

Wang is the first sitting Cabinet-level official of Taiwan to visit Nanjing since the ROC left its former capital.

Wang Yu-chi
Mainland Affairs Council Minister
The ROC is already 103 years old. In the past, we could only pay tribute to the tomb of our nation’s father from afar in Taipei. Today, I can personally visit to offer my respects, using the title of Mainland Affairs Council minister. I am delighted. From today onward, what’s most important is that the two sides of the (Taiwan) Strait directly face the reality of the cross-strait situation. We must pragmatically handle and solve problems. Only then can we build a cross-strait relationship with long-term stability.

Before leaving Taiwan, there were rumors that Beijing’s Taiwan Affairs Office insisted that Wang refrain from using Taiwan’s official name. By doing so, Wang stands apart from other figures who visited the mausoleum in their capacity as KMT honorary chairmen, including Lien Chan and Wu Poh-hsiung.

郁琦中山陵

陸委會主委王郁琦在南京的第二天，到中山陵向國父孫中山謁靈，這是1949年以來，首度有中華民國官員到訪，王郁琦不僅在這裡，提及自己陸委會主委的官方身份，還明講中華民國。

這回不是跟著馬總統在台灣遙祭國父孫中山，陸委會主委王郁琦，到南京中山陵謁靈。

王郁琦這趟，可是中華民國政府遷台以來，首度有官員回到國民政府撤退前的首都南京。

[[陸委會主委 王郁琦]]
“中華民國已經103年了，過去，我們只能在台北遙祭國父陵，今天，我能以陸委會主委的身份，親臨此地，向國父致敬，我內心感到非常的高興，今後，最重要的問題，是海峽雙方，應該正視兩岸的現實，務實地面對問題，解決問題，才能建構長遠、穩固的兩岸關係”

行前雖然傳出國台辦劃紅線，要王郁琦不要提中華民國，但王郁琦不僅說了，還點名自己這趟，跟國民黨榮譽黨主席連戰吳伯雄，以黨員身份謁靈的不同。
