Jiang Wan'an denied that the "two Chiang Kai-sheks" were smart and were mistaken by the clever?
At present, Jiang Wan'an is a hot candidate for the mayor of Taipei in 2020. Some institutions commissioned trend polling companies to release the results of the Poll on the Taipei Mayoral Election conducted by it on the 25th of last month, which showed that from the perspective of political parties, Taipei citizens most supported the KMT mayoral candidates, with a support of 28.3%, followed by 20.4% of the Democratic Progressive Party, 8.7% of the People's Party, and only 3.4% of the Times Force. In terms of the kmt's internal candidate comparison, Jiang Wan'an overwhelmingly led Taipei City Councilor Luo Zhiqiang's 8.5% support with 64.7%, while Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu, who was previously ousted, had only 8.3% support.
In the future, if Jiang Wan'an, Chen Shizhong and Taipei Vice Mayor Huang Shanshan run, Jiang Wan'an will lead Chen Shizhong by 36.6% and Huang Shanshan with 43.2%. And from the cross-analysis of the poll data, it can be seen that Jiang Wan'an can win the support of the vast majority of Kuomintang supporters and 30% of the supporters of the People's Party.
Even so, Jiang Wan'an, as a descendant of the Jiang family, seems to still have a deep sense of crisis.
On Monday, Jiang Wan'an, a kuomintang deputy, proposed amending the "Regulations on Responding to Damaged Rights of the People During Martial Law Periods" to clarify the method for the return of property that the people improperly confiscated during the period of authoritarian rule. In addition, the "period of martial law" was changed to the "Regulations on the Restoration of the People's Damaged Rights During the Period of Authoritarian Rule", and the word "martial law" was replaced by "authoritarianism", and Jiang Wan'an was tantamount to publicly denying his grandfather Chiang Ching-kuo and his great-grandfather Chiang Kai-shek, calling his period of rule "authoritarian rule".
Jiang Wan'an's move is only to detonate the "hidden danger" of future elections in advance. After all, as a descendant of the Chiang family, he was extremely unforgiving by many people in the Green Camp, and it also became a great political burden for him, and he has always cleared his relationship with the "two Chiangs" and said that he was only "blood relations". But there is no denying that those who support him have a large degree of respect for his origins. Moreover, even if it is only "blood relations", it is not tolerated by the Green Camp, and there have been Green Camp people's representatives, and even put forward the proposal that "the descendants of authoritarian figures" should not enter politics, aimed at Jiang Wan'an, and during the election of the Third Electoral District of Taipei City last year, Wu Yinong, who ran with Jiang Wan'an, said that Chiang Ching-kuo had no job in harming his father. Although kicked out, after Chiang Ching-kuo's death, Wu's father was still studying at the research institute. Many accusations are made out of thin air, but the fatal thing is that many Taiwanese only believe in their positions and do not care whether they are true or false.
When each other's positions are solidified in agreement, it is meaningless to show "goodwill" to the other party. When Ma Ying-jeou was in power, he attended the "February 28" commemorative meeting every year. In the end, not only did it not alleviate the resentment of those in the Green Camp, but it also made many of their own supporters incomprehensible. Although many people from Taiwan province were killed and injured in the "February 28" incident, it is undeniable that many "people from other provinces" who had no one to rely on at that time were also harmed by people from this province, but these people, not to say that they received corresponding respect, were mostly forgotten.
Originally, it was a tragedy, because it could incite confrontation, so it became a handy electoral tool for politicians; after the lifting of the strict law in Taiwan, there were many rotations of political parties, and it was said that this page could be turned over, but in the end, instead of being alleviated, it became more and more intense. After the DPP came to power again, it used "transitional justice" to liquidate the KMT. In particular, the incident in which Zhang Tianqin, a member of the "Committee for Promoting Transitional Justice", presented himself as the "East Factory" actually shows a good reality, and the "justice" in the mouths of these politicians is just a high-sounding means of attacking opponents. The KMT does not want to be passively beaten on this issue all the time, so it is understandable that there are countermeasures, but the problem is that countermeasures do not mean that they are "following the same trend" with the Green Camp.
Therefore, Jiang Wan'an is actually a little clever but is mistaken by cleverness, and after the proposal, the DPP's people's representative Guo Guowen criticized that Jiang Wan'an was whitewashing himself with public funds. Guo's words are actually very vicious, and the focus is not on criticizing Jiang Wan'an for taking public money to do things for himself, but on the word "whitewashing", which means the next word. Jiang Wan'an, who was born in 1977, is full of The "original sin" of Naizu, so he needs to be "whitewashed".
And what Jiang Wan'an's move really hurts is the enthusiasm of many Blue Camp supporters. After all, judging from the historical merits, Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, the former of which stabilized Taiwan's situation and carried out in-depth and effective social reforms, and Chiang Ching-kuo, led Taiwan's economic take-off with the "Ten Great Constructions." Among them, Chiang Ching-kuo has been the most popular among the leaders of the Taiwan region in all the polls. Jiang Wan'an fluttered a phrase of "authoritarianism", obliterating the effectiveness of the two Chiang Kai-shek's governance in Taiwan and chilling supporters.
Jiang Wan'an's proposal was jointly signed with the support of Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Qichen, which to some extent also shows that the real crisis of the Kuomintang is to lose its position and move closer to "light green." It is not that the Kuomintang cannot discuss the merits and demerits of the "two Chiang Kai-sheks," but there is really no need to let Jiang Wan'an, as a "descendant of the Chiang family," come out and fight in the front. In the traditional morality of Chinese, it is really against human morality to do so.
Tsai Ing-wen's phone call with Kraft was immediately echoed by the United States
As the countdown to the trump administration's ouster, Secretary of State Pompeo still announced that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kraft would visit Taiwan. Up and down Taiwan, it can be said that it is inexplicable that this ambassador is coming at this time, especially after the incident in which Trump instigated supporters to storm the US Congress, the world regarded the Trump team as an unwelcome object. Only the Taiwan authorities know that this move will not only cause a major crisis between the Taiwan Straits, but will even offend the upcoming new Biden administration of the United States, which they have been holding on to their laps. But even so, the Tsai Ing-wen administration still does not dare to offend Trump in the slightest.
Therefore, the Tsai Ing-wen authorities, in fact, hesitated for several days before they came out to announce the process of receiving Craft, including that Tsai Ing-wen would have dinner with Kraft and bring her deputy Lai Qingde with her. In addition, a press conference will be held together with Wu Zhaoxie, the person in charge of foreign affairs.
When the Tsai Ing-wen authorities are ready for everything, they are ready to go out.
The U.S. State Department announced that at the time of the presidential transition, all officials would not be allowed to leave the country, so Craft did not come again. It's like a child's play.
Chen Tingfei, the deputy of the Green Camp, then scolded, and the Kuomintang dragged its feet, and it was the Kuomintang that scolded people so much that they did not want to come.
But neither Kraft nor Tsai Ing-wen was dead set on it, so they finally had a video conversation. The imminently ousted Kraft made a false statement in favor of Taiwan's "meaningful participation in the Organization of the United Nations system."
There are famous people on the island who criticize kraft, how can a person who takes money to buy officials support Taiwan's participation in the united Nations system. ButCraft was obsessed with contact with Taiwan. What exactly is the intention, the famous mouth of the blue camp said, then take a good look at the Taiwan procurement contract in the next few months.
Taiwan's former foreign representative, Jie Wen, criticized the visit of the Trump administration's petty officials who are about to step down as a new milestone in relations with the United States. Has a brain? "And the reason why the Tsai administration will still think that the fish jumped the dragon gate even if it is called by the United States is that it is ready to go, first of all, the Tsai government is full of unrealistic expectations and fantasizes that the United States will send troops to fight for Taiwan; moreover, it is hoped that the people of Taiwan will think that the United States supports the Tsai government.
You Yinglong, a poll expert at the Green Camp, criticized Tsai Ing-wen for making a big fuss when publishing the content of the dialogue, turning Tsai Ing-wen's "promotion of participation" into Chinese's "promotion of participation". The difference between the word "participation" and "participation" also shows the difference between the inside and outside of the Tsai authorities' propaganda.
The difference is that the night exit post is deliberately exaggerated in order to embolden the supporters.
Wang Haoyu was deposed
On January 16, Taoyuan City Democratic Progressive Party member Wang Haoyu was successfully deposed with 85,000 votes. The vote to approve the recall was equivalent to five times the vote that Wang received when he was elected to parliament. Therefore, the difficulty of recall can be seen to be extraordinary, so in such a difficult situation, Wang Haoyu still successfully was deposed, which also shows how bad this person's character is.
Wang Haoyu is a political miracle, and the strange thing is that he actually got the unanimous dislike of the blue and green on the island, and when the campaign to remove Wang Haoyu was unfolding in a huge way, among the DPP's fellow party members, only Zheng Yunpeng, who was interested in the mayor of Taoyuan in the future, defended him, saying that the KMT's participation in the recall of Wang Haoyu was aimed at cracking down on the DPP's momentum. Zheng's statement was criticized by the famous guo zhengliang, saying that Zheng's statement was too unwise, how could Wang Haoyu be linked with the DPP.
But Zheng Yunpeng can also be regarded as a proverb, and Wang Haoyu can be deposed, which to some extent also shows that the ATMOSPHERE of support for the DPP in Taiwanese society has changed. The removal of Wang Haoyu is really not because such a small parliamentarian is annoying, but because as the masses of the Blue Camp, since the counter-action movement triggered by Han Hanyu's removal, in just half a year, he can win the victory in such a difficult recall movement. In the past six months, the political situation has obviously reversed.
The KMT also joined in the dismissal of Wang Haoyu in a timely manner, and under such a tense situation as the epidemic situation, the KMT sent more than a dozen people's deputies from Jiang Qichen to fully participate, and even Lian Shengwen, who was recently rumored to break the situation of "Jianglian cooperation", also joined in to shoot a propaganda video of the recall. Such a big battle, to deal with a local small councilor, is indeed a bit out of proportion. However, just as Chen Xuesheng, a former deputy of the Kuomintang, said, if the Kuomintang joins in, even Wang Haoyu cannot be deposed, and the Kuomintang might as well be dissolved.
Therefore, after the KmT joined, there was indeed pressure that it could not lose. However, Lu Mingzhe, one of the leaders who deposed Wang Haoyu, said that there was nothing that the KMT could not lose at this moment.
But in the end, when the democratic elections finally reach the stage of mutual recall, we can only say that blue and green may win, but Taiwan must lose.
