=Cross-Straits Economic Trade and Culture Forum=
Huang stated in October 2013 that the Cross-Straits Economic Trade and Culture Forum that have been going on between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has shown nothing to Taiwan, except how the high-ranking KMT officials fawn over Beijing for personal gain, either financially or politically. The forum has become the platform for the KMT to collaborate with the CCP in containing Taiwan. The Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement had become a tool in which the government of China pressured Ma Ying-jeou's administration.{{cite web |date=2014-04-22 |title=Opposition slams KMT-CCP suggestions |url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2013/10/29/2003575648 |accessdate=2014-04-29 |work=Taipei Times}}
