KMT, TPP silent before the CCPBy Jethro Wang 王濬From June 16 to Monday last week, China held its 15th Straits Forum in Xiamen Province. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) billed it as the largest convention for cross-strait exchanges in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. The Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) sent its Taiwanese Businesspeople Affairs Committee chairman, Chang Kai-chun (張凱鈞). Although the KMT and the TPP say they want peace, neither party has ever condemned the CCP’s military actions when they met with Chinese officials. The only thing the two parties’ officials know is to respectfully listen while CCP officials give them a dressing down.
