According to Taiwan's "Zhongshi News Network," the four major Taiwanese people's voting cases will be held on December 18 this year, and Taiwan's election department will hold a televised briefing meeting from 13 this month. In this regard, veteran media person Huang Weihan said that he did not agree with Zhu Lilun's withdrawal from the briefing, but for the DPP to use this to mock Zhu Lilun, he mentioned that in the past, when Tsai Ing-wen and Su Zhenchang were the chairman of the DPP, they had debated with Ma Ying-jeou. Consolidating the position of party chairman?

For Zhu Lilun's withdrawal from the briefing, Huang Weihan said bluntly on the social platform on November 11, "I don't agree", he believes that it is an explanation meeting, not a debate meeting, Zhu Lilun actually does not have to care whether the "opponent" is up or down? The focus is on "appealing to the will of the people", explaining it clearly and letting the people understand.

However, as for Zhu Lilun's desire to "debate" with President Tsai Ing-wen, the DPP spokesman said that Zhu Lilun was "winning political voice, consolidating the position of party chairman, and political struggle", which made Huang Weihan quite puzzled. He mentioned that on April 25, 2010, Ma Ying-jeou and DPP Chairman Tsai Ing-wen held the "ECFA Debate" on public television, and the chairmen of the two parties publicly elaborated on the pros and cons of major policies; on April 25, 2014, Ma Ying-jeou and DPP Chairman Su Zhenchang also held dialogues and even debates on the "nuclear four issues". Huang Weihan would like to ask whether Tsai Ing-wen and Su Zhenchang at that time were winning political voices? Consolidating the position of party chairman?

Huang Weihan pointed out that Tsai Ing-wen's reluctance to pay attention to Zhu Lilun is because she looks down on the opposition parties, but also jointly despises the "public opinion" that supports the KUOMINTANG; although such public opinion is not the majority in Taiwan at the moment, Tsai Ing-wen's attitude clearly reflects the difference between her and Ma Ying-jeou, Ma Ying-jeou is willing to face the public opinion against her, but Tsai Ing-wen is indifferent and ignores it.

If that's Ma Ying-jeou too stupid? Huang Weihan said, Perhaps, but at least Ma Ying-jeou has never despised the "voice of opposition," because as the leader of the Taiwan authorities, whether he is in favor of or against it, it is "public opinion." 【Source: Huaxia Graticule】
