(Beijing = Yonhap News) Correspondent Cho Joon-hyung = “Grandpa, I was elected President of the Republic of China twice.”

Former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou, who is visiting China, visited China on the 1st at the grave of his grandfather in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, read a memorial service containing his life history and said, “Republic of China 97 years (2008) and 101 years (2012) twice Chinese I was elected president of the Republic of Korea,” Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported.

Former President Ma also said that during the eight years he was in office (2008-2016), he actively promoted peace and development on both sides (China and Taiwan), saying, “Taiwan and the mainland (China) are divided by the sea. It was the most peaceful and prosperous period in 70 years.”

“Republic of China” is the official name for Taiwan. Earlier, on the 28th of last month, former President Ma mentioned the ‘Republic of China’ when visiting the tomb of Sun Yat-sen (孫文, 1866-1925), Taiwan’s ‘Father of State’, but Chinese media did not consider Taiwan as part of China. It does not introduce the mention of former President Tama’s ‘Republic of China’ at all.

In the midst of this, while former President Ma was traveling by high-speed train from Wuhan, Hubei Province, to Changsha, Hunan Province the previous day, Song Tao, the highest-ranking official in China’s Taiwan affairs department and director of the Taiwan Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (ministerial level), accompanied him, Chinese media reported. they said

Former President Ma, who visited China for a 12-day stay on the 27th of last month, became the first person to step on mainland China as a former or incumbent Taiwanese president following the Kuomintang regime, which was defeated in the Chinese Civil War in 1949, moved to Taiwan.
