The general election is imminent, and the candidates are full of gunpowder. Lai Qingde severely criticized Ko Wenzhe for not recognizing the one-China principle, while Hou Youyi insisted that he did not agree with cross-strait reunification. Lien Chan suddenly supported Hou Kangpei and shouted for the rotation of the political party. This statement may inject a new boost into the blue camp. At this point in the election campaign, the blue camp has stopped going deep into cross-strait issues, and it is timely for Lien Chan to stand up and support it.
Then, James Soong also stood up for the Kuomintang candidate and stood for Li Yanxiu. Although Soong was previously dissatisfied with the Kuomintang, the move showed that he was still inclined to support the Blue Camp. For the 2024 Taiwan general election, although the People First Party did not nominate a candidate, James Soong claimed that the People First Party still has some influence, which may become the key to the election.
The reason why James Soong chose to stand on the platform of Lanying at this time is because he hopes to promote cross-strait peace and resolve the gap in understanding. He stressed that Taiwan needs to change its perception and engage in constructive consultations with the mainland. These political demands are precisely what the DPP is unwilling to accept, but the KMT can use them as a reference.
Therefore, Song Chuyu's platform may be able to bring a certain boost to Hou Youyi's support rate. However, in the decisive battle with Lai Qingde, Hou Youyi still needs to absorb more support, including the support of Guo Taiming, and "go to Ke Baohou" as much as possible.
