Stop it! How to form a Taiwan Provincial People's Congress delegation? ｜Interesting Stories of China's Two Sessions

Hello everyone, my name is Marley. At the just-concluded National Two Sessions, a group of hilarious comedians caught my attention.

That's right, the Taiwan Provincial Delegation of the National People's Congress. I don’t know if it was because the previous two sessions did not have much prominent coverage, or because I was ignorant. It was the first time this year that I learned of such a group representing Taiwan compatriots, which naturally caught my attention.

So I opened Baidu first. Regarding the Taiwan delegation, this is what I said: "In 1975, the Fourth National People's Congress established the Taiwan Provincial Delegation for the first time. The number of deputies to the National People's Congress will be reserved, and the rest of the deputies who should be elected in proportion to the population will be reserved. Since then, the representatives of the National People's Congress of Taiwan Province will be democratically elected by convening a consultative election meeting in accordance with the election plan formulated by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress."

As for whether it is democratically elected, everyone on this earth understands, so we won't discuss it. I also saw the following description in the source of the representatives: "Most deputies to the National People's Congress of Taiwan Province are compatriots from Taiwan Province who were born in the mainland of the motherland. They include leading cadres of the party and government organs, as well as people in the fields of science and technology, culture and education, and medical and health care. Experts, scholars and representatives of the economic community who have made outstanding contributions, some are from the developed eastern coastal areas, and some are from the central and western regions, with strong ability to discuss and perform their duties and broad representation.”

What the hell is "a compatriot of Taiwan province born in the mainland of the motherland", I have carefully read this description several times, and it seems that it is difficult to explain it with the current household registration system. In order to facilitate understanding and analysis, we have changed the above sentence "compatriots from Taiwan Province born in the mainland of the motherland" to "compatriots from Beijing born in Shanghai", which is logically consistent with the above statement, right? Let's see, if one is a Beijing native born in Shanghai. There are generally two explanations. One is that his ancestral home or place of origin is in Beijing, but if he was born or raised in Shanghai, then his current household registration is not Beijing. Another explanation is that he was born in Shanghai, but his hukou ended up in Beijing, and he can also be called a Beijinger born in Shanghai.

I searched all over the Internet, and it seems that the qualifications of deputies to the National People's Congress only describe personal rights and abilities, and there seems to be no clear definition of the groups of people served by deputies. Let's go back to the example above. From a normal logic point of view, if you want to be a representative of the National People's Congress in Beijing, no matter where your household registration is, you must first live in Beijing, serve Beijing, or pay taxes to Beijing, which means you Social security should be in Beijing. If you say that your ancestral home is in Beijing, but you are not in Beijing, you can be a representative of the People's Congress in Beijing.

So let's go back to the example of "compatriots from Taiwan Province born in the mainland of the motherland". First of all, the representatives are definitely not satisfied with the possibility of having their household registration in Taiwan.

Because according to the current household registration system, there is currently no valid Taiwan household registration in mainland China. Since household registration does not exist, why is the legal rationality of Taiwan provincial registration? That can only be that he has a Taiwanese household registration issued by Taiwan. According to Taiwan's current "Regulations on the Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area", "The people, legal persons, groups or other institutions in the Taiwan Area shall not serve in the Mainland Area Party affairs, military affairs, administrative affairs, etc. Or have the position of a political agency (institution), group, or be a member." That is to say, if he is a legal Taiwanese, if he wants to participate in the two sessions, he will violate the laws of Taiwan. I believe that as long as a person with a normal IQ would not do this.

Then there is only the second case, that is, the ancestral home of the delegates is the mainland residents of Taiwan. Assuming that this is valid in law, let’s imagine that you have not served Taiwanese society, have not participated in Taiwan’s grassroots elections, or contributed a cent to Taiwan’s tax revenue. If you say that your ancestral home is Taiwan, you must represent the people of Taiwan. Have you asked the people of Taiwan? Isn't it a little awkward?

At the beginning, we said that since 1975, the National People's Congress has established a delegation of Taiwan Province for the first time. At present, Taiwan Province has temporarily elected 13 NPC deputies, and the rest of the representatives who should be elected in proportion to the population are reserved. So how did these 13 celebrities emerge, and what kind of relationship do they have with Taiwan?

In view of the fact that the National People's Congress is the highest authority in China, it is natural to have its legal rationality. In order to illustrate this problem, let's take a look at the 13 "Taiwanese National People's Congress Deputies" who bear the inexplicable sacred mission of August 18th. For the sake of convenience, let's call it "Taiwanese Thirteen Taibao" or "Two Sessions Atmosphere Group".

In the Thirteen Pacific Insurance, let's first talk about Comrade Huang Zhixian, the head of this delegation. This Huang Zhixian is not the famous patriotic media person in Taiwan, Ms. Huang Zhixian. According to the definition of Baidu Encyclopedia, Huang Zhixian, male, Han nationality, born in July 1956, from Tainan, Taiwan, started working in April 1975, and joined the Communist Party of China in June 1985. The current title is the vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, the chairman of the All-China Taiwan Federation, and the secretary of the party group. At first glance, people from Tainan, Taiwan, take a closer look at the resume, as a Tainan, Taiwan, how did you join a team in Beijing in 1975, and also served as the captain of the educated youth. We know that in the 1970s it was still a wartime state where the two sides of the strait blocked each other. How did our Comrade Huang travel from Tainan to Beijing to become an educated youth?

According to the introduction of Wikipedia, Huang Zhixian's father is from Cantonese. He went to Taiwan from Guangdong to work after Taiwan's liberation. He met his mother in Tainan. Comrade Huang Zhixian was born and lived in the mainland, and later became a leading figure of the Overseas Chinese Federation and Taiwan Federation all the way to politics. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Gongtongzi [1995] No. 91 document, a citizen's place of origin should be the place of residence of his grandfather (grandfather) or the place of his household registration at the time of his birth. In principle, the place of origin is generally from the father, and in some special cases, it is from the mother's line, and the place of origin is the original place of origin. That is to say, although Head Huang's mother is Taiwanese, his native place should be Guangdong. The only explanation is that due to the needs of his work in the Taiwan Federation, Huang's native place has become a special case and must follow his mother, and naturally he became a Tainan native of Taiwan.

With the case of Director Huang, let me take a look at a few representative Taiwanese representatives. First, let's take a look at this one:

Xu Pei (female), Vice President of the National Taiwan Federation, born in September 1962, is a native of Tainan City, Taiwan Province, and is also a native of Tainan. I've searched all over the internet, but it doesn't say where Representative Xu was born? The data shows that he has been working in the Taiwan League since 1985, and his father is also an old leader of the Taiwan League. The only thing that this representative Xu is somewhat related to Taiwan is that her ancestors lived in Tainan County, Taiwan Province. Her great-grandfather Xu Nanying was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and a famous Taiwanese poet. It turned out to be after a famous family, so the descendants of Taiwanese are Taiwanese.

If the above two are still related to Taiwan, then the representative of Zou Zhenqiu, a native of Taoyuan, Taiwan, who was born in May 1965, is a bit magical. Other than that, there is nothing to do with Taiwan at all.

Due to time constraints, we will not pick up the resumes of the other representatives. Except for one representative named Chen Yunying, who was born in Taiwan and then came to the mainland with her husband to live in the mainland, all the others are mainlanders who are not enough. Their titles are President of Hainan Taiwan Federation, Vice President of Fujian Taiwan Federation, President of Guizhou Taiwan Federation, President of Hebei Taiwan Federation, and President of Hubei Taiwan Federation.

It is not difficult to find that none of these so-called representatives of Tainan, Taoyuan, Taipei, and Taitung in Taiwan live or work in Taiwan, and some have no verifiable relationship with Taiwan at all. It is a representative team of provincial and municipal branches composed of mainland officials and led by the National Taiwan Alliance Taiwan Alliance. Speaking of which, by the way, the Popular Science Retirement Alliance and the Taiwan Alliance. The Taiwan Federation's full name is "All-China Taiwan Compatriots Association". His purpose is to "hold high the banner of socialism and patriotism, and unite and contact Taiwan compatriots living in the mainland of the motherland; under the banner of patriotic reunification, extensively unite and contact Taiwan compatriots in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and overseas, with one heart and one mind, for the revitalization of the country. China, to promote the great unity of the Chinese nation, to realize the reunification of the motherland in accordance with the basic policy of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems", and to contribute to the enhancement of the friendship between the villagers and the well-being of the Taiwanese people."

The Taiwan Alliance, the full name of the "Taiwan Democratic Self-Government Alliance," is the eighth-ranked democratic party in China. Founded in 1947, most of the early members were members of the Communist Party of Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. After the February 28 Incident in 1947, he fled to the mainland and Hong Kong. In 1955, it officially moved to Beijing, and the following members were mainly from the so-called Taiwanese living in the mainland.

To put it bluntly, these two organizations are just institutions for the Chinese mainland to unite the front against Taiwan.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be easier for Taiwan to find mainland representatives whose ancestral home is on the mainland to increase the number of seats in the Legislative Council?

Since they are going to pretend to be Taiwanese representatives, I have always wondered how these people's official identities are defined? So are their valid documents a Chinese resident ID card or a Taiwan compatriot card? Legally, they shouldn't be able to have Chinese passports for the time being, right? Then they can travel freely to Taiwan. If none of the above, where does the rationality of these 13 people representing Taiwan's 23 million people come from? How to reflect the legal rationality of the highest authority of the National People's Congress?

Just imagine, if a group of Taiwanese parliamentarians said that we should represent the people of the mainland, unite closely around the Party Central Committee with Ms. Tsai as the core, and work hard for the great rejuvenation of the Greater China region, don't you think it is also very funny and ridiculous?

To sum up, it's okay if you don't say "Deputies to the National People's Congress of Taiwan Province", just play the game by yourself. Or it might be more appropriate to simply represent your organization directly. Under the current conditions, your report will only add to the laughter of the international community and the people on the other side. How to reflect the advantages of the system and the superiority of socialist democracy?

So today in 2021, when all kinds of sociology, logic and international politics have been developed so much, we can see the ideological confrontation and appreciate all kinds of political jokes. What we ordinary people need more is to jump out of the bombardment of various established information and propaganda, and understand the problem from the perspective of logic and legal principles, so that our thoughts and will will not be manipulated by others.

Finally, let's end this happy series with the proposal of Cai Peihui, Taiwanese National People's Congress representative and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Fuli (Hong Kong) International Group, in this meeting.
