DPP legislator speculates Lien Chan against Ma-Xi meeting (2014/02/19)

As government and KMT representatives meet with Chinese officials, one potential meeting still takes precedent over all others. It’s no secret that Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou would like to arrange a meeting between himself and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Right now, the only Taiwanese politician with access to Xi is KMT Honorary Chairman Lien Chan. With relations between Ma and Lien tense, there is speculation that Lien is hoping to keep the two presidents at a distance.

Shortly after Taiwan’s top cross-strait minister, Wang Yu-chi, left China, Beijing welcomed another Taiwanese politician. This time Lien Chan met Xi Jinping at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Lien Chan
Honorary KMT Chairman
As cross-strait relations continue to improve and strengthen, a peaceful political environment will gradually emerge. We are moving up, one level at a time, moving further and further.

Xi Jinping
Chinese President
The recent Zhang-Wang meeting reached many consensuses and many achievements that can be used to develop cross-strait relations.

According to Lien’s aides, Xi asked the KMT honorary chairman for his opinions on a mooted meeting between Xi and Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou. Lien said he would be happy to see the meeting take place, but reminded Xi that extensive preparations are needed before world leaders meet. DPP Legislator Tsai Huang-liang gave this response:

This seems like an indirect way of denying the feasibility of a Ma-Xi meeting. In other words, Lien Chan doesn’t support such a meeting. He wants to guide the cross-strait discussion and doesn’t want Ma Ying-jeou to steal his thunder.

Today, in a meeting of the KMT Standing Committee, Ma said he supports Lien meeting with Xi. Ma added that he would like to see more such meetings in the future.

連習會後續

國民黨榮譽黨主席連戰昨天與中國國家主席習近平會面,根據連戰幕僚轉述,習近平主動提到馬習會,而連戰雖然說樂觀其成,.也表達領袖見面,是一??累積,但今天有綠營立委解讀連戰不希望馬習會進行。

陸委會主委王郁琦前腳才離開中國,對岸就邀國民黨榮譽黨主席連戰到北京,中國國家主席習近平還在釣魚台賓館,會見連戰一行人。

[[國民黨榮譽主席連戰]]
“兩岸關係持續的改善,持續的提升,在這個過程裡面,和平的一個政治環境,會逐漸的出現,我們一階一階的向上爬,越走越遠”

[[中共總書記習近平]]
“前不久舉行的張王會,我看這也是達成了許多共識,許多積極的成果,推動了兩岸關係的發展”

但關起門來,根據連戰幕僚轉述,習近平還主動詢問連戰對馬習會的看法,連戰雖然說他對馬習會樂觀其成,但也說,國際領袖見面的事前準備很重要，得好好準備。綠營立委今天也表示看法。

[[立委(民) 蔡煌瑯]]
“這個幾乎就是間接否決,馬習會的可能性,也就是說連戰本身,並不贊成馬習會 ,連戰要主導兩岸的議題,他不願意馬英九跟他爭搶鋒頭”

馬英九總統今天在國民黨中常會表示,對於榮譽主席連戰,和中國國家主席習近平會面表示肯定,還說這樣的訪問,越多越好。
