Former Japanese prime minister Taro Aso visited former president Lee Teng-hui’s (李登輝) grave at a military cemetery in New Taipei City yesterday afternoon, shortly after arriving in Taiwan.

Aso was accompanied by members of his delegation, including Japanese lawmakers Keisuke Suzuki and Kenji Nakanishi, and Lee Teng-hui Foundation chairwoman Annie Lee (李安妮), Lee Teng-hui’s daughter.

Annie Lee thanked Aso for attending a public memorial for Lee Teng-hui at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan in August 2020 when he was Japanese deputy prime minister.

China is targeting projects to enhance public spaces in its “united front” tactics, a lawmaker said yesterday after New Taipei City-based cultural conservation group Am Kehnn Cultural Workshop (暗坑文化工作室) said that Beijing has conducted a covert campaign to infiltrate Taiwanese placemaking projects.

Taiwan’s placemaking scene is awash with Chinese money, Am Kehnn Cultural Workshop wrote on Facebook on Thursday, adding that almost every region in the nation was among the winners at a cross-strait construction and creation contest held by China’s Fujian Province.

China, which makes no secret that its ultimate goal is to annex Taiwan, has of late made engaging young Taiwanese a top priority in its “united front” strategy against Taiwan.

At the two-day “2015 Workshop on Taiwan Affairs” in Beijing that concluded on Tuesday, in addition to affirming the so-called “1992 consensus” and an anti-Taiwanese independence stance, officials made a point of stressing that measures would be taken to “actively promote cross-strait visits and expand exchanges among young people and members of the general public on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.”
