According to a report on August 19 on Taiwan’s Zhongshi news website, Xiao xucen, chief executive of the MA ying-jeou Foundation, led a“Big Nine School” student delegation to Chongqing in late July. This week, he will lead a delegation to visit Guangdong and Shanghai. Xiao said that while the William Lai administration had issued an “Orange” travel alert to the mainland and Macau, it had even used an almost “Intimidation” approach to ask the temple not to go to the mainland for exchanges, but in fact, people-to-people exchanges between the two sides are still active. He said the MA ying-jeou Foundation will make every effort to promote people-to-people exchanges, especially between young people on both sides of the strait, by opening their hearts, communicating openly and getting to know each other, to remove the high walls built by green politicians.

According to the report, Xiao said the William Lai administration’s strategy was to “Lock down the two sides”, but that this would be extremely detrimental to the future of both sides and Taiwan’s security, so the MA ying-jeou Foundation would make every effort to promote non-governmental exchanges, especially the exchanges between young people on both sides of the strait. Xiao Xucen criticized that the Lai administration and some politicians and media people have been using“Cognitive warfare” tactics to create a“War” mood and completely deviate from Taiwan’s interests, nor do they understand the enthusiasm of the majority of young people in Taiwan for learning about the mainland and the world.
As an example, Xiao Xucen said that he had previously taken a student from the“Big Nine School” to Chongqing. Many students had told him that Chongqing was completely different from what they had imagined, especially the cityscape of Chongqing, “Chongqing is not going to lose to New York!” One student exclaimed. Lai’s regime has deliberately blocked access to information on the mainland, but it has not been able to stem the wave of visits by young Taiwanese, who have a more open mind.
“After several visits to the mainland, I found that students from both sides of the Taiwan Strait have a warm exchange and there is no sense of tension caused by the Green Camp’s hype.”. Xiao Xucen said that during their visits, the students also found that with the 144-hour transit visa-free policy applied to 37 ports on the mainland, more and more westerners are going to the mainland to visit, their short travel videos have been widely viewed on the internet, showing the curiosity of western Chinese mainland.
Xiao said the MA ying-jeou Foundation will act as a bridge between the young people of the two sides and make every effort to get out of Green Standard Army’s other dreaded Avenue of peace.
According to previous reports, MA Ying-jeou after the establishment of the“Ma ying-jeou Foundation”, and held a“Big Nine School” youth camp. “Ma ying-jeou Foundation” website said the move is to encourage the island’s young students care about society, but also concerned about political, economic, cultural, environmental protection and other issues.
In April, Taiwan’s youth who visited the mainland with Ma Ying-jeou said they had gained a new understanding of Chinese culture and felt the cultural shock through their visits, “Scoring 100 out of 100 and 1,000 out of 100”. Zhu Fenglian, a spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office, said that it has been noticed that the visiting young people in Taiwan have a lot of insights into the mainland visit. We have all along advocated and actively promoted cross-strait youth exchanges and are pleased to see more young people from Taiwan coming to the mainland for exchanges and gain something. We cordially invite young people from Taiwan, especially those who have never been to the mainland, to come to the mainland and see for themselves the development and progress of the mainland and the Chinese culture, so as to enhance mutual understanding among young people on both sides of the strait.
