The latest polls show that "Hou Kangpei" has risen amazingly, and Lai Qingde finally became anxious and began to attack the Kuomintang in a big way. What warning did Lai Qingde issue, and what problems did he expose?
With only 17 days left before the island's elections, the situation has taken a dramatic turn.
According to the latest poll published by Taiwan's "Beautiful Island Electronic News" quoted by the Taiwan Strait Network, the support rate of the Chinese Kuomintang's "Hou Kangpei" soared by 3.4% to 33.9%, and the gap with the DPP's "Lai Xiaopei" narrowed again, which made the DPP feel threatened.
First of all, "Hou Kangpei" is rising very quickly, and according to this growth rate, it is entirely possible for "Hou Kangpei" to defeat "Lai Xiaopei" in the election.
Secondly, the "Beautiful Island Electronic News" itself is a green media, although for some reasons, the newspaper and the DPP have differences, but its overall reporting tendency is still on the green side, so even the green media can not deny the strength of "Hou Kangpei", on the side of the blue camp, the poll data can only be better, and the DPP does have reason to feel threatened.
In addition, the current blue-green election situation is becoming more and more stalemate, but the blue camp still has the possibility of further breakthroughs.
On the one hand, the People's Party's "Ke Yingpei" support has declined repeatedly, and has actually lost its chance of winning, and if Ko Wenzhe withdraws from the election, then most of his supporters may turn to support the blue camp.
On the other hand, the Kuomintang still has not given up on winning over Guo Taiming, who still has many supporters on the island, if Guo Taiming is willing to give up his previous suspicions to speak for the Kuomintang, then "Hou Kangpei" still has a chance to rise sharply.
Seeing that the election situation is becoming more and more critical, Lai Qingde can't sit still now, and at the second televised political conference on December 26, Lai Qingde vigorously attacked the Kuomintang and issued three warnings, which are quite aggressive.
Lai Qingde believes that if Hou Youyi is elected, then Taiwan will usher in "three major crises."
First, it is the return of the "one-China forces"; second, it is the influence of the black gold constitution on social stability; and third, it is unscrupulous means to gain political power.
Then, it just so happens that the DPP's operation has become more and more excessive recently, so let's sort out Lai Qingde's set of rhetoric one by one about what has happened recently.
First, the return of the "one-China forces" is regarded by Lai Qingde as a crisis, but this is only a crisis for the "Taiwan independence" elements, but it is a good thing for the people on both sides of the strait.
Just a few days ago, the mainland announced the cancellation of the tariff reduction and exemption policy for 12 products, including propylene and paraxylene produced in Taiwan, which has aroused heated discussions on the island, and the fundamental reason why cross-strait trade exchanges have come to this point is because the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has set up trade barriers, which has damaged the interests of mainland enterprises and undermined mutual trust between the two sides of the strait.
As for whether the ECFA is good or bad for Taiwan, the realistic data will not lie, in 2022, the mainland provided Taiwan with a trade surplus of more than 150 billion US dollars, which can be said to have single-handedly saved Taiwan's export industry.
However, under the perverse actions of the Democratic Progressive Party, the number one representative word on the island this year is "shortage," and the people on the island cannot believe that in the 21 st century, Taiwan will still be in the dilemma of lacking eggs, electricity, and all kinds of daily necessities.
Not only that, Lai Ching-te vigorously criticized the KMT's recognition of the "one China" and "'92 consensus," claiming that this had brought a "crisis" to Taiwan, but the reality is that against the background of Ma Ying-jeou's insistence on the "'92 consensus," cross-strait relations are harmonious, the Taiwan Strait has never been as full of crises as it is today, and no one on the island needs to be in danger.
Second, Lai Qingde attacked the KMT's "black gold constitution".
On this topic, there is a certain consensus on the island, and the black history of the KMT's rule has been condemned for decades, but has the DPP done a better job after coming to power?
Just a few days ago, Taiwan's "Zhongtian News Network" just released a report that Lai Qingde, who is waving the banner of "eliminating black gold", has "black gold, pornography, and drugs" in his campaign team.
The report pointed out that the "Taoyuan Guanyin Joint Campaign Headquarters" and the "Guanyin Branch of the Friends of Taiwan Trust" led by Lai Qingde and Huang Shijie of his team have successively been rumored to be blackened and Xu Gengsheng, who served as the general convener of the joint campaign headquarters, and also opened a hotel with female escorts.
Among them, Xu Gengsheng's hotel is not only visited by underworld elements, but also has guests arrested for taking drugs inside, and its composition is very complex.
In addition, Ou Bingchen, a member of Lai Qingde's team and chairman of the Guanyin District Committee, was also sentenced to prison for corruption, when he sold Guanyin Township in Taoyuan County at a low price and earned NT$20 million in the difference into his own pocket, and was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
Therefore, Lai Qingde keeps saying that the Kuomintang is a "black gold physique", but he can not mention that the DPP is also a raccoon dog, in the final analysis, this is a pot that cannot cook two kinds of rice.
Third, Lai Ching-te condemned the Kuomintang for doing whatever it took to gain power.
Lai Qingde's "boomerang" hit him again. It happened that on December 25, Pingtung County Assembly Speaker Zhou Dianlun and his daughter Zhou Mengrong, who had changed from "Tingguo" to "Tinghou", were suddenly interviewed and searched by the Taiwan local procuratorate, and the reason given by the other party was that Zhou Dianlun's father and daughter were involved in the "joint letter bribery case" of Guo Taiming, the founder of Taiwan's Hon Hai Group.
Zhao Shaokang, whose partner Hou Youyi ran for election, immediately saw the trickiness of this matter, saying that the detention of the speaker of the parliament is a big matter, and even if there are any problems in the process of "co-signing", there is no need to detain people when there are less than 20 days left before voting in the election.
Zhao Shaokang judged that the DPP's move has a "dual purpose", the first is to suppress Zhou Dianlun, who is the speaker of Pingtung, to participate in the by-election, and the second is to threaten Guo Taiming not to come out to support Hou Youyi.
Therefore, who is doing whatever it takes to gain power, Lai Qingde has to clear himself first.
Now that it is less than 17 days before the election and voting, Lai Qingde has begun to "bite people", which to a certain extent shows that the trend of the election on the island has made the DPP feel the crisis, and the KMT has indeed seen an opportunity to return to power.
Of course, the mainland's position has also been clearly expounded: No matter who comes to power, the mainland is willing to actively exchange and promote cooperation with the mainland on the basis of the "consensus of '92," and the ultimate goal is to seek well-being for the people on both sides of the strait.
