台湾民众党前主席柯文哲的妻子陈佩琪近期赴大陆旅游一周，先后到访上海、杭州、北京等地[1]。陈佩琪在社交平台分享了此行感受，用"惊喜、很棒"来形容这次旅程[1]。
该行程引发岛内关注。陈佩琪随后回应质疑，表示此次出游系用自己退休后工作赚得的钱进行，并无不当之处[1]。她强调"全程没和人有过任何接触交谈"，仅在与店员、旅馆服务员和公车司机等服务人员的互动中有过零星对话[1]。柯文哲为妻子辩护，称这次出游由儿子陪同安排[1]。
国台办发言人朱凤莲于7月15日表示，"要和平、要发展、要交流、要合作是台湾社会的主流民意"[1]。据官方统计，今年1至6月两岸人员往来达311.9万人次，同比增长22.1%，其中台胞来大陆285万人次，同比增长24.9%[1]。
Chen Pei-chi, wife of former Taiwan People Party Chairman Ko Wen-je, recently completed a week-long trip to mainland China, visiting Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Beijing [1]. She described her experience on social media using the terms "surprising and wonderful" [1].
In response to questions raised over the trip, Chen Pei-chi stated that she funded the vacation using money earned from her own work after retirement [1]. Ko Wen-je subsequently defended his wife, noting that their son accompanied and arranged the tour [1]. Chen Pei-chi also clarified her activities during the mainland visit, saying "I had no contact or conversation with anyone throughout," except for brief exchanges with shop staff, hotel employees, and bus drivers [1].
The incident drew official attention from Beijing. On July 15, National Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fengglian stated that "pursuing peace, development, exchange, and cooperation represents the mainstream sentiment of Taiwan society" [1]. Official data cited by the agency showed that cross-strait personnel exchanges from January to June reached 3.119 million trips, a year-on-year increase of 22.1 percent, with mainland-bound visits by Taiwan residents totaling 2.85 million trips, up 24.9 percent compared to the same period last year [1].
