Cheng Li-wen's visit to China: Scholars say lack of leverage means few expected results

AI Summary (NQ-processed)

Regarding Cheng Li-wen's visit to China, Professor Wang Hong-jen of National Cheng Kung University noted her statement "1992 Consensus, opposing Taiwan independence," pointing out that if "opposing Taiwan independence" means opposing Taiwan's sovereign independence, then ambiguity disappears. Associate Research Fellow Tseng Wei-feng of National Chengchi University's Institute of International Relations assessed that Cheng's remarks highly echoed the CCP's tone, and due to a lack of bargaining chips, the visit would only yield "vague results" such as economic and trade policies or preferential policies for youth and businesses. Professor Wang warned that this visit could have a "dangerous" impact on the KMT's year-end elections, risking being seen as "hastily unifying."
