China's Xi calls for 'reunification' in message to new Taiwan opposition leader
Xi Jinping urged cross-Strait cooperation and reunification efforts as the Kuomintang, holding most parliamentary seats, faces scrutiny over alleged Chinese election interference.
- Xi Jinping, in a message reported by Xinhua on Sunday, urged the Kuomintang and Communist Party to deepen exchanges and advance reunification efforts.
- Former lawmaker Cheng Li-wun, who won Saturday's race, is set to lead the Kuomintang on November 1 amid allegations of Chinese interference and disinformation flagged by Justin Wu and Jaw Shau-kong.
- In her reply to Xi, Cheng Li-wun avoided endorsing reunification, saying both sides are 'members of the Chinese nation' and urging stronger Taiwan Strait exchanges and cooperation.
- The KMT's role as Beijing's preferred interlocutor means it remains central in cross‑Strait talks, even as Taiwan's government strongly objects to China's sovereignty claims and Beijing refuses to engage with President Lai Ching-te.
- While the KMT lost the presidential election last year, it and the Taiwan People's Party still hold the most seats in Parliament, and Beijing called the contest a KMT matter with no official stance on online comments.
