The Hawaii Incident and Li Ching-bo's diplomatic policy caused a diplomatic row with China, and the New National Party took the opportunity to attack Li. However, President Li is not one to back down, as he planned to make an official visit to the US with the help of Chu Shi-chen, Director of the Office of the President, and Chen Ching-tang, who wields considerable resources through his family. Domestically, Li Ching-bo publicly apologized to the families of the victims at the unveiling ceremony of the 228 Memorial. This became the topic on Wang Zhao-yang's political talk show, where New Nationalists tried to attack the apology, and Democrats tried to claim credit for it. Reporter Su Wan-chen actively reported on the 228 Incident, but unexpectedly brought back memories of another political event that his father experienced back then, the July 13 Incident in Penghu in 1949.
