Lai Qingde: Encountered the heaviest artillery fire, and the performance was unremarkable

In the first stage of the argument, Lai Qingde put forward the so-called proposition that "the two sides of the strait should come and go without humility or arrogance," but Ke Wenzhe shouted: "Isn't this what I said?" Lai Qingde looked a little embarrassed and did not give a clear response.
In the second stage of the media question-and-answer session, Lai Qingde clamored that if he was elected, "he would continue the 'Xiaoying line,'" but Hou Youyi asked rhetorically: "If the Xiaoying line is so good, why has the nine 'countries with diplomatic relations' been cut off, why has there been no communication, no dialogue, and no exchanges between the two sides of the strait, and Taiwan has become the most dangerous place recognized by the whole world and reported by the media?
In the cross-examination session of the third part, the controversy over the illegal construction of Lai Qingde's hometown has also become the point of attack of Hou Youyi and Ke Wenzhe, and Ke Wenzhe is even more angry that the DPP made up 10 more lies in order to cover up a lie, and then told 100 lies, "This is where the DPP's 'governance' makes me the hottest." Lai Qingde's response was also strong and unconvincing.

In the second stage of the media question-and-answer session, Hou Youyi pointed out the failures and harms of the DPP authorities in response to the topic of Taiwan's foreign affairs activities, and also put forward his own countermeasures, such as restoring the cross-strait communication mechanism, safeguarding Taiwan's international space, and enhancing Taiwan's international influence.
In the third part of the interrogation session, Hou Youyi confronted Lai Qingde and Ke Wenzhe head-on, not only refuting the other party's doubts with reason, but also responding to the other party's provocation with humor, winning applause and laughter from the scene. In general, Hou Youyi showed his strength and charm in this debate, which was supported by both theory and practice, with a serious attitude and a relaxed atmosphere, giving people a sense of credibility and reliability.
Ke Wenzhe: Full firepower to stimulate controversy and attention
As a non-party candidate, Mr. Ko displayed an all-out style in the debate, which sparked both controversy and attention. In the first stage of the argument, Ko Wenzhe continued the style of the political meeting, using the special budget and the social housing bill as an example, and criticized Lai Qingde and the DPP authorities for carrying out "green fraud" through administrative means. Ke Wenzhe's rhetoric was very sharp, which aroused Lai Qingde's dissatisfaction and rebuttal.
In the second stage of the media question-and-answer session, Ke Wenzhe put forward his own views and suggestions on Taiwan's cross-strait relations and international status, such as adhering to the principle of "one China, each with its own interpretation", promoting the implementation of the "Taiwan Plan", and advocating the dissemination of "Taiwan values."
