DPP must repair ties to help Shen: Han Kuo-yu
Taipei Times | English | News | Nov. 14, 2025 | UndeterminedPolitics and Elections
Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) instead of supporting DPP Legislator Puma Shen, who is under investigation by China for alleged “secession-related” activities, including founding the civil defense group Kuma Academy. Han used a Chinese idiom to suggest the DPP should fix the issues it caused, implying that the party's pro-independence stance and policies have weakened Taiwan’s security.
Han described Taiwan’s security as supported by four legs: maintaining the Republic of China (ROC), safeguarding democracy and freedom, strong Taiwan-US relations, and cross-strait peace. He accused the DPP of breaking three legs by promoting Taiwanese independence, launching recall campaigns, and declaring China a hostile external force. He urged DPP Chairman William Lai to abandon the pro-independence platform, restore executive-legislative relations, and retract the hostile designation to better protect Shen and Taiwan’s security.
The DPP expressed regret that Han did not defend Shen and accused him of siding with an authoritarian regime suppressing a legislator. DPP caucus secretary-general Chen Pei-yu blamed the KMT's submissive stance for undermining regional peace. Premier Cho Jung-tai criticized Han for remaining silent amid China’s investigation and called on him to explain his position clearly.
