‘Taiwan’ delegate at congress upbeat about her China dream
BEIJING: The Communist Party of China (CPC) claims Taiwan as a Chinese province and Lu Li-an, one of the delegates at the ongoing party congress, has a unique position–s he is the only party representative at the meet who was born on the island.
The CPC’s desperate search for a delegate to “represent” Taiwan at the congress ended two years ago when they met new party member Lu, a deputy dean at Shanghai’s Fudan University.
Born in Kaohsiung city in Taiwan, the 49- year-old professor who displays a fierce loyalty to the party and cause fit sn ugly into the C PC’ s narrative of Taiwan as a province of China – to be reunified in the future.
Speaking at a press interaction on the sidelines of the ongoing congress, Lu said :“You can compare the Chinese dream to the American dream. The Chinese dream not only emphasises the individual development, but also stresses that it should spread to the group besides them—the elderly, children, weak, sick, labour and so on. And also concerns about nature. So I think the Chinese dream is a very rich ideal, which is a Communist ideology ,” she added.
The CPC would have loved every word that Lu said.
Speaking about cross-straits interaction and the party, Lu said :“Our position is firm, which is the goal of peaceful reunification and one country and two systems. The current situation of cross-strait interaction, I think, is ‘one can not make bricks without straw’. The straw is the recognition of one China,” she said. HTC
