TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A special committee has been established to probe the nature
Han Kuo-yu (By Central News Agency)
of Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu’s (韓國瑜) recent visit to China.
Han’s sojourn to China last week caused uproar in Taiwan. Minister of the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Chen Ming-tong (陳明通) said during a legislative session that Han’s actions have been the source of great controversy in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the international community, according to Liberty Times.
The minister said Han’s behavior has jeopardized Taiwan’s status, particularly as Beijing pushes the “One Country, Two Systems” arrangement with increasing impetus.
The Kaohsiung mayor aroused suspicion by visiting the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Hong Kong and Macau—responsible for managing “One Country, Two Systems” arrangements in both autonomous regions. Chen said Han absolutely should not have entered the Liaison Office. [FULL STORY]
