Zheng Liwen and her delegation visited Beijing to learn about the development of artificial intelligence, and expressed their amazement at the immeasurable contribution that cross-strait cooperation will make to humanity.

"Knowing I was coming to visit the mainland, I specifically requested two parts of the itinerary in Beijing: to see the AI education in primary and secondary schools, and to have a discussion with science and technology innovation enterprises in Zhongguancun." On April 11, Kuomintang (KMT) Chairperson Cheng Li-wen, who was visiting Beijing, spoke frankly, expressing her genuine feelings: "This trip was well worth it." The KMT delegation led by Cheng Li-wen began its visit to Beijing on the afternoon of April 10, with its first stop being the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University. Lush greenery and the sound of students reading aloud filled the air. While learning about the school's practical application of AI in teaching in the lecture hall, Cheng Li-wen listened attentively, nodding in approval from time to time. Later, the delegation visited the laboratory, watching a demonstration of intelligent robot soccer, a quadruped robot dog, and a robotic arm, showcasing student research achievements. Cheng Li-wen enthusiastically interacted with teachers and students, repeatedly praising, "So impressive!" On the morning of April 11, Cheng Li-wen and her delegation visited the Zhongguancun National Innovation Demonstration Zone Exhibition Center, experiencing firsthand the surging momentum of Beijing's development as a source of AI innovation. In the exhibition area, Cheng Li-wen showed great interest in a "smart bionic hand," carefully handling it and occasionally rotating its fingers to feel its flexibility and tension. She also enthusiastically invited members of the visiting delegation to try it out. When the manufacturer said they could take it home, Cheng Li-wen exclaimed, "Really?" and readily agreed. After the visit, Cheng Li-wen and her delegation held a discussion with representatives of science and technology innovation enterprises, discussing new opportunities for cross-strait technological cooperation. "Zhipu Huazhang," an AI large-scale model company originating from Tsinghua University's laboratories, and "Yinhe General," dedicated to the research and development of embodied intelligence and humanoid robots… a group of "technology pioneers" who combine scientists and entrepreneurs shared their entrepreneurial experiences, which the visiting delegation members listened to attentively, wanting more. "I'm so happy!" Cheng Li-wen said. Since becoming the chairperson of the Kuomintang, she has been pondering the future of Taiwan's industries, and the trip to Beijing gave her "the answer." From integrating artificial intelligence into basic education to innovative technologies driving industrial development, these experiences and practices help Taiwan's industries upgrade comprehensively. She urged that Taiwan can no longer afford to stagnate and waste resources; it must provide incubators and accelerators for young people, giving them the necessary support and platforms so they can shine. Cheng Li-wen remarked with emotion that if cross-strait relations could be free of political obstacles, the contribution to humanity would be immeasurable. "Our current imagination cannot comprehend the potential achievements of the future," she said. During their stay in Beijing, Cheng and her delegation also visited the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Palace Museum, reflecting on the "shining moments" of cross-strait cultural exchange and appreciating the historical features and cultural heritage of the ancient capital of Beijing. On the 12th, the Kuomintang delegation will visit the Xiaomi car factory and depart Beijing for Taiwan at noon that day. (Xinhua)
