Beijing says opposition to "one country, two systems" is DPP indoctrination; KMT figures also reject it

Sep 10, 2026

China's Taiwan Affairs Office claims Taiwanese rejection of "one country, two systems" is manufactured by the ruling DPP — a framing that falls apart because the opposition KMT rejects it too.

  • Beijing attacked President Lai Ching-te and the DPP over UN Resolution 2758, insisting unification is inevitable.
  • Its spokesman welcomed more debate on a "Taiwan plan" for one country, two systems, saying it would break the DPP's "thought imprisonment" and "information cocoon."
  • Senior KMT figures — Ma Ying-jeou, Eric Chu, Hou Yu-ih, Han Kuo-yu, Lu Shiow-yen, Chiang Wan-an — all oppose the formula, and Cheng Li-wun says it has no market in Taiwan.
  • Not wanting war is not the same as accepting Beijing's terms; rejection cuts across party lines.

Outlook: Beijing looks set to keep pushing the "Taiwan plan" line while support for it stays near zero across Taiwan's political spectrum.
