The new star of the blue camp who came out of the Taipei breakfast shop.
Xu Qiaoxin was born in 1989 and is a rising star in the blue camp. She is only 34 years old, but her political experience has been more than ten years.
In 2011, Xu Qiaoxin was enthusiastic about participating in student organizations during his studies at National Chengchi University in Taiwan, and served as the secretary general of the Student Union Alliance of Colleges and Universities in northern Taiwan.
And Yin Wei, who knows Xu Qiaoxin with a discerning eye, has served as the spokesman of Ma Ying-jeou's re-election office, the spokesman of the Chinese Kuomintang *** Party Department and the spokesman of Taipei City because of his outstanding eloquence, and he is also the CEO of the Kuomintang Youth League. It can be said that Xu Qiaoxin, who has no political background, can be reused within the Kuomintang, thanks to Yin Wei's good use of people and promotion of younger generations.
Xu Qiaoxin's parents are ordinary vendors in Taipei who run a breakfast shop. In order to make a living, her parents' breakfast shop is open all year round, Xu Qiaoxin did not have time to play with her peers when she was a child, she stayed silently by her parents' side to help the family, "I was working even during the Chinese New Year, all the way from my kindergarten to after graduating from college, until my parents retired." It is this experience that has cultivated her strong character.
It is precisely because of the lack of the burden of family background that Xu Qiaoxin said in an exclusive interview with Taiwan's "Vision" magazine that his personality is "very unharmonious", and he will not be trapped by the pressure of family background like the traditional "second generation of politics", and is often courteous and cautious. Her personality is outspoken, daring, and even daring to challenge authority, which makes many Kuomintang people classify her as an "outlier". Although the style of action is different from the image of the Kuomintang as gentle, courteous and frugal in the past, Xu Qiaoxin said that in the past few years, he has proved through his strength that such a line has a market in society.
Xu Qiaoxin, on behalf of Taiwan's "Generation Z" voice, was appreciated by the "big guys" of the blue camp.
Xu Qiaoxin's appearance is beautiful, her image is fresh, and her words are sharp, and the current Kuomintang deputy candidate, "Battle Blue" Zhao Shaokang, once asked her to be his "coach". Zhao Shaokang will appear on the online talk show "He Long Night Show" at the end of December, in order to change his serious paternalistic stereotype, Zhao Shaokang asked Xu Qiaoxin, who has already been on the show, to be a "coach", so that Xu Qiaoxin can teach all the skills of the talk show, so that everyone can see Zhao Shaokang's humorous side.
In April this year, Xu Qiaoxin challenged Fei Hongtai, the representative of the blue camp, to compete for the primary election of the Kuomintang Taipei City's seventh electoral district, and she wrote a 1,500-word letter to all party members, calling on the blue camp supporters to "be young again". Fei Hongtai is not only 35 years older than Xu Qiaoxin, but also has a wealth of political experience, he was a three-term Taipei City Council member and vice chairman, in 2004 by the Kuomintang and the New Party jointly nominated to fight the Democratic People's Congress, and then re-elected for five consecutive terms for a total of 19 years. But the political veteran was ultimately defeated by Xu Qiaoxin, the representative of the "Generation Z" force.
Gen Z is expected to be a key group in determining the 2024 elections on the island.
For Taiwan's younger generation, the Internet is not just a tool, but also a part of life. According to Facebook's official statistics, Taiwan has more than 14 million active users, accounting for about 60% of the total population of Taiwan, and the highest usage rate in the Asia-Pacific region.
Taiwan media said that "Generation Z" will become the backbone of the workplace Source: Taiwan's "Caixun".
Since 2014, when Ke Wenzhe defeated Lien Shengwen and won the mayor of Taipei City through online "air warfare", the Internet has quickly become an important battlefield in Taiwan's elections. The advantage of the network is that it can break through the traditional space limit, face the voters more directly, and convey information to the public in a more timely and diverse manner. Just as Ke Wenzhe used the Internet to gather popularity among young people, how the Chinese Kuomintang, as a century-old party, can use the power of "Generation Z" represented by Xu Qiaoxin may be the key to whether they can win the 2024 election.
