Originally, Lai Qingde's imminent inauguration was a good thing for the DPP, but now the trend on the island is obviously a little wrong, and on the contrary, it has gradually developed into a situation that is unfavorable to the DPP.
The reason behind this is actually all in Lai Qingde alone, Lai Qingde's arrogant attitude in power has already annoyed many opposition parties on the island, but the DPP is still obsessed, and the DPP even wants to demolish the bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek.
I have to say that Lai Qingde has really gone too far in this wave, and even if he is arrogant in power, it is easy to correct it, but if the DPP insists on "de-Chiangization," then the parties on the island are likely to usher in huge conflicts.
So why does the DPP care so much about the bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek? What do these bronze statues mean on the island of Taiwan?
"Transitional justice" wants to dismantle the bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek
Lai Qingde will officially take office on 20 May, but the current situation on the island is not very optimistic, because Lai Qingde was too arrogant after winning the election and did not mingle with the opposition parties, resulting in unprecedented tension on the island.
Seeing that this side is about to take office, but the antagonism between the parties on the island has become more and more serious, this is not a good sign for Lai Qingde, and such a "confrontation between the government and the opposition" will only produce resistance to Lai Qingde's ruling career.
If Lai Qingde can clearly understand the situation, then it is obvious that he should have good relations with various opposition parties at this time, and even if it is a "temporary cramming," it will be able to ease the current tense situation, and it will certainly be only good and not bad for him after he takes office in the future.
However, Lai Qingde did not do this, and if Lai Qingde did not make a move, then there was basically no possibility of resolving this situation of "confrontation between the government and the opposition." Not only did Lai Qingde's side insist on going his own way, but even the DPP's side added a fire to it.
According to a report by Taiwan's United News Network on May 13, although Lai Qingde is now about to take office, Tsai Ing-wen is still in power so far.
And what worries Tsai Ing-wen the most, of course, is the so-called "transitional justice" of the Democratic Progressive Party, Tsai Ing-wen intends to implement this set of theories on the island of Taiwan to the end, no matter what is the case, so naturally, the Taiwan military must also be among them.
However, in contrast, it is obvious that the Taiwan armed forces are relatively independent individuals, and the DPP's attempt to interfere in the "independence" of the Taiwan armed forces is somewhat of a conspiracy, and it has even set up a special "transitional justice" expert advisory group within the Taiwan military.
It seems that the DPP is determined to extend its hand into the Taiwan military, and even thinks that it can dismantle the bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek in the Taiwan army, so that the DPP can be regarded as able to "blow head-on" to the KMT, and it is no wonder that the DPP is so active.
However, the Taiwan military is an independent organization in the first place, so naturally it does not accept the DPP at all, and the Taiwan military officials have directly drawn a red line for the DPP, claiming that the 252 bronze statues of the Taiwan military cannot be moved at all.
The Taiwanese military said that these bronze statues are all part of the history of the army, and out of consideration for history, they naturally will not abide by the so-called "transitional justice", and all the bronze statues will remain in their original state.
After all, the response given by the Taiwan military can't find any fault, and even if the DPP urgently arranges for the demolition of the bronze statue, it can only be helpless when it comes to the Taiwan military.
It can be said that no matter what method the DPP adopts, as long as the Taiwan military says "no," then it is impossible for the bronze statue in the Taiwan military barracks to be demolished, and the DPP will not be able to control it so wide at all, so it can only restrain it.
However, there are Taiwan troops to protect the Taiwan military barracks, and if it is a bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek in society and public space, it will not be so lucky, and it is impossible to escape the clutches of the DPP.
After all, Tsai Ing-wen's so-called "transitional justice", in fact, to put it bluntly, is mainly "de-Chiangization", during Tsai Ing-wen's tenure, many bronze statues of the two Chiangs in Taiwan could not escape the doom, and were directly demolished or disposed of by other methods.
Such an extreme move by the DPP is obviously aimed at the KMT, but this move also shows the arrogant side of the DPP's ruling power, and it will inevitably be resisted by other parties on the island.

The DPP has already caused outrage
The bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek is of great significance to the island, and it is easy to understand the status of this bronze statue in the minds of the people on the island and the Kuomintang in combination with historical reasons.
From this point of view, the spearhead of the DPP is already very clear, and it is obvious that it is aimed at the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang, as a political party with a relatively strong voice among Taiwan's opposition parties, naturally cannot allow the DPP to act arbitrarily.
Even people from other parties have come forward to speak out for the KMT, and Wu Rongyuan, chairman of the Workers' Party, has personally said that Lai Qingde is just a pawn of the United States and cannot become the protagonist at all, so the United States will certainly not let Lai Qingde do whatever he wants.
In addition, Wu Rongyuan also claimed that the Kuomintang needs to stand up and balance the DPP, because the KMT has an advantage in the Legislative Council, so it will naturally be able to take the initiative and restrict the DPP's behavior at the legislative level.

From this point of view, the "confrontation between the government and the opposition" on the island is a situation that is destined to form, after all, Lai Qingde's attitude is so obvious, and the approach is indeed a bit excessive, so the united front of the blue and white camps on the island is naturally reasonable.
Regarding this bad behavior of the DPP, Cai Zhengyuan also posted a long post on Facebook, criticizing the DPP's recent behavior, Cai Zhengyuan bluntly said that the DPP is now in the time of self-anesthesia, and to put it simply, it is to deceive oneself and others, and to make mistakes is wrong.
Obviously, this kind of practice will only harm Taiwan, and it will not be beneficial to Lai Qingde's ruling career after taking office, but Lai Qingde does not understand this truth, and the current situation of the blue and white united front on the island is the bitter fruit of Lai Qingde's own making.
At the same time, Cai Zhengyuan also expressed his dissatisfaction with the demolition of the bronze statues, saying that the Taiwan military had tried their best to reluctantly list more than 200 bronze statues that could not be demolished, and the rest could only be demolished by the DPP.
Moreover, Cai Zhengyuan also used "anti-Chiang provincials" to describe the DPP, and it can be seen that Cai Zhengyuan is also very angry, after all, when he encounters such an arrogant DPP in power, no matter who he resides, he will definitely be on fire.
In such a situation, Tsai Ing-wen still insists on "taking the last step" for Lai Qingde, completely ignoring the feelings of other parties and the people on the island.
