In view of the reform achievements of the Kuomintang, Zhu Lilun pointed out that the most important thing for him to serve as chairman of the Kuomintang is to carry out reform to rejuvenate and promote the metabolism within the party. Therefore, it can be seen that in the "nine-in-one" election, the Kuomintang nominated more than 100 young candidates, and this democratic election made the Kuomintang the party with the youngest average age of party members among the three parties. In order to show that the Kuomintang hopes to continuously accelerate the efforts of rejuvenation and reform within the party, Zhu Lilun also shouted to his young friends: "Don't you think that other political parties are too crowded? There are still many vacant seats on the Kuomintang side!"
Regarding the nomination of the non-zonal people's congress, Zhu Lilun said that the Kuomintang respects and believes in professionalism, and has even found talents in various fields to enter the Taiwan legislature, and in the part of the political group, it has also found many generals with combat power and courage to be placed on the list of non-zonal representatives, and it is necessary to give full play to the power of supervision and checks and balances to check the well-being of the people, and also looks forward to the promotion of the issues of the Taiwan legislature in the future, so that the public can see the changes of the Kuomintang, and then attract more young people.
Zhu Lilun said that the most important thing in reform is determination, and it is necessary to set the principles well, so that the public can feel that the Kuomintang has given opportunities to the younger generation, and that the Kuomintang is changing, and I believe that as long as we continue to stand with young people, one day we will be able to make young people accept the Kuomintang again.
Yang Zhidian also said that in the process of rejuvenation, it is necessary to give young people a stage, give young people the opportunity to enter the decision-making circle, and get closer to the trend of young people, and believe that the pace of reform will continue in the new year.
Talking about how to find young people, Yang Zhiling also said in an interview with Taiwan media today (13th) that it is necessary to make young people feel that they have the opportunity and future to join the Kuomintang, and to let young people have the opportunity to serve as party cadres and participate in the party's decision-making. This part has continued after Zhu Lilun took office, such as letting the young Taoyuan City Councilor Ling Tao and the Mindai Hong Mengkai serve as the chairmen of the Cultural Communication Association, which is the best example, and will continue to strengthen in the future.

Zhu Lilun, chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, frequently interacted with young people during the Spring Festival, aiming to show his determination to reform at a younger age. Yesterday (12th), he released a video of playing video games with Ge Rujun, Chen Jinghui, deputy head of the Kuomintang Youth League, and Huang Tengxian, deputy head of the Kuomintang Youth League, showing a side close to the trend and youthful vitality. Zhu Lilun said that digital and modern life has slowly changed the way we celebrate the New Year, but what remains unchanged is the laughter, joy and blessings between people. The Year of the Dragon must be a whole year of "Dragon Dance to Promote Mi!" (Hokkien dialect homonym: all interesting)"
After losing the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, the KMT reflected on the reasons for the loss, especially why many young votes were lost to Baiying. According to the analysis of Taiwan's "United Daily News", the KMT's propaganda platform is old during the election period, and the lack of youth-related content is an important reason for the loss of youth votes in the white camp. Observers pointed out that after the election, practitioners in the island's public relations and communication industry analyzed the communication strategies of various parties, and practitioners analyzed that the powerful part of Ke Wenzhe's camp is that young people automatically become information sharing nodes, young people have a high degree of adhesion to Ke, strong initiative, and young people use a variety of social platforms, so from the traditional Facebook, YouTube, PTT, to Threads, X (formerly known as twitter), Instagram, Dcard and others have all seen Ke Wenzhe's positive messages, which can solidify Ke Fan's support tendency.
Hou's camp has put almost all of its troops on traditional TV media, Facebook and YouTube, supplemented by Instagram, but almost all of these platforms are aging and limited by algorithms, making it difficult to disseminate and share. In terms of content, Hou Youyi's camp mainly focuses on the DPP's corruption case, and there is less youth-related content. Although it is novel to use rap to satirize Lai Qingde's hometown "Lai Piliao", the main tone is still fighting green privilege and corruption, and it is a pity that many good political views on young people have not been well disseminated.

However, the Kuomintang is not without successful experiences worth continuing on, and the analysis believes that Zhao Shaokang's face-to-face dialogue with young people on the campus of National Taiwan University is a model worth sticking to in the blue camp. Taiwan's "United Daily News" observed that during the election of the leader of the Taiwan region, Zhao Shaokang, the former chairman of Zhongguang, who was paired with Hou Youyi, started to go to the campus to give speeches at the beginning of the call. Zhao Shaokang gave a speech at National Chengchi University in Taiwan, answering all questions, answering real questions, first appreciating students' questions, and then sharing personal views, after the speech, almost all of the students' impression scores on Zhao were added, and some students' positive comments were spilled over to the Kuomintang.
A teacher at National Taiwan University revealed that the KMT's youth activities in the past lacked vigor and vitality and were full of exemplary flavor. Zhao Shaokang set a precedent, entering the campus forum, speech or holding activities can be continued, the Kuomintang does not roll up its sleeves and goes into the youth, and never wants to get the support of the youth.
Lian Shengwen, the son of Lian Chan and the former chairman of the Kuomintang, also recently expressed his views on the rejuvenation of the blue camp, Lian Shengwen said that he believes that the so-called youth of the blue camp is not only age, but also the mentality, including the mentality of the individual and the mentality of the organization as a whole, which is the key to the real youth. He cited the music played by the Kuomintang on large-scale campaigning occasions as an example, and argued that if even he himself was unfamiliar with the songs at the scene, how could he expect young people to resonate.
In an interview with Hong Kong's "China Review Press," Wu Sihuai, a former representative of the Kuomintang, believes that the blue camp should be broken and given opportunities to young people. Wu Sihuai said that youth is the capital, and courage is courageous, but young people need administrative experience, which depends on time, and the KMT needs to give young people the opportunity to experience. The Kuomintang is the right direction for giving young people opportunities, but the elderly also have the wisdom of the elderly, and it is necessary to use the experience of the elderly and the guidance of the prime of life to pull the young people up.
The new Democratic Representative plans to expose the DPP authorities' malpractices
According to Taiwan media reports today (13th), Taiwan's legislature will meet on the 20th of this month, and Xu Qiaoxin, the new representative of the Kuomintang, said in an interview today (13th) that her first choice is the "Taiwan Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee".

Xu Qiaoxin said that the first question was the deliberate issuance of misleading air defense alerts before the election, misrepresenting the mainland's satellites as missile-related incidents. She also said that in the future, she will strongly supervise the DPP authorities and continue to track high-end vaccine contracts. On the issue of "self-built submarines," Xu Qiaoxin pointed out that at that time, it was said that the launching ceremony would be held, but it has not yet been launched, so what is the progress now? Are there any questions that no one can figure out? All these should give the people an answer. She will definitely continue to pursue it.
Xu Qiaoxin pointed out that in addition to Taiwan's defense department, Taiwan's foreign affairs department has had a lot of "big foreign propaganda" and "big internal propaganda" in recent years, but the real problem is that the DPP authorities are constantly "severing diplomatic relations," and whether Wu Zhaoxie, responsible person of Taiwan's foreign affairs department, is capable of it? As for which "ministry" budget he wants to cut the most, Xu Qiaoxin said that it is a "digital development department" , because of the fraud until now, the amount of Taiwanese people being defrauded is still rising, and this department has taken a budget of more than NT$20 billion, but what achievements have been made in addition to the APP of the noodle line?
The malpractices of the DPP authorities exposed by Xu Qiaoxin, the new representative of the DPP, are all political scandals that the DPP authorities are reluctant to mention, which can be said to hit the pain point.
The so-called "self-built submarine" that the DPP authorities spent seven years and spent NT$50 billion to cobble together was finally claimed to have been completed last year, and a launching ceremony was to be held in Kaohsiung. As a result, it was found that although the submarine was claimed to be "launched", it was actually only a model on land, which was ridiculed by netizens on the island as Tsai Ing-wen's "political launch" and "show launch". In addition, the inferior quality of the submarine and the ultra-high budget are in sharp contrast, and public opinion on the island has questioned the corruption of green politicians among them.

Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, once said that since the DPP authorities came to power, out of the selfish interests of one party and disregard for the people's livelihood, scandals and malpractices such as black money, corruption, and fraud have emerged one after another and become more and more serious. The legislature of the Taiwan region will convene next week, and "the people have a rod and scale in their hearts," and the DPP authorities are destined to face severe doubts and condemnation.
