The Ma Ying-jeou Foundation invited a group of mainland Chinese students to visit Taiwan. Controversy arose when a female student, during an interview, congratulated the "Taipei, China" team for winning the championship in the World Baseball Classic. Minister Chiu Chui-cheng of the Mainland Affairs Council stated that the group made "many" political statements and propaganda unrelated to the visit, which belittled Taiwan. Administrative penalties are being considered, and the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation may be banned from inviting mainland Chinse groups to visit Taiwan for six months to five years. The mainland student tearfully blamed herself. Executive Director Hsiao Hsu-tsen of the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation responded that the systems and terminology across the strait are different, and the female student did not actively express unification sentiments.

The controversial comments sparked widespread criticism. The DPP caucus quickly deleted the post but posted again late at night, claiming it was merely "sharing" an international development and comparing it to the domestic political situation, rather than voicing support for martial law.
