AI Summary (NQ-processed)

Professor Chang Chun-hao of Tunghai University stated that the cross-strait policies announced by China's Taiwan Affairs Office are merely "old tunes," serving as a united front tactic to mask military deterrence with economic inducements. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) spokesperson Wu Cheng criticized China's opaque quarantine system for agricultural and fishery products from Taiwan, often used for political manipulation. Chang also questioned the KMT's remarks, which echoed Beijing's narrative, potentially misleading the international community and putting Taiwan in a geopolitical predicament.
