Having two KMT members stationed in the US would cost the party a minimum of US$500,000 per year, which includes rent and personnel costs, party sources said. Regarding China, the party supports cross-strait exchanges, which is why it had initially planned to attend the Straits Forum, they said. There are some KMT members who take an anti-US stance, but they do not represent the party’s official position on the US, they added.
