Hou Youyi's approval rating skyrocketed by 88%, but Lai Qingde was exposed by his former cronies and has been caught in a bribery scandal. At the critical moment, the mainland directly pointed out a clear path. What is the ins and outs of Lai Qingde's bribery?Which clear path has the mainland pointed out?
As we all know, the 2024 leadership election in Taiwan will be officially held on January 13, 2024, and it has been less than one month now. And in this election, the most eye-catching thing should be the election campaign between *** and the Kuomintang. As the election time continues to approach, the public support between the two parties is also getting closer, and it is still unknown who will die in the end. It is precisely because of this that the election campaign between *** and the Kuomintang can be said to have entered a white-hot stage.
According to Taiwan media reports, recently, Taiwan's major polling agencies have released the latest poll data, although the survey data of various polling agencies are different, but on the whole, the support rate of the Kuomintang's chief and deputy candidates, Hou Youyi and Zhao Shaokang, is on a large upward trend.
For example, Taiwan's green** "Sanli TV" recently released poll data shows that compared with October, Hou Youyi's support rate has now skyrocketed, with an increase of 88%。Especially among voters aged 60 to 69, Hou Youyi has a huge advantage, which is incomparable to candidate Lai Qingde and People's Party candidate Ke Wenzhe.
As for the reasons for the sharp rise in Hou Youyi's support rate, some experts believe that there are at least three. First, as the formal election is approaching, many voters in Taiwan are becoming more rational and pragmatic, knowing that once they are elected to the party, Taiwan may face a dangerous situation. In order to avoid this situation, it is certainly safer to choose the Kuomintang. Second, on November 24, Guo Taiming, a well-known Taiwanese entrepreneur and founder of Hon Hai Group, who had previously announced that he would participate in the independence election, announced his withdrawal from the election, and the voters who originally supported him are likely to directly support Hou Youyi. Third, Hou Youyi chose to let Zhao Shaokang serve as his deputy in the election, Zhao Shaokang has a great influence in Taiwan's media circles, and this move has also won Hou Youyi the support of many people.
In stark contrast to Hou Youyi's skyrocketing popularity, Lai Qingde was caught in a huge election bribery scandal. According to a number of Taiwan media reports, Wang Minxing, a former close confidant of Lai Qingde and former director general of the Lai Municipal Government's Work Policy Committee, recently publicly accused Lai Qingde with his real name, saying that Lai Qingde had secretly helped Taiwan's first "Speaker" bribe the election as early as the end of 2010. Wang Minxing claimed that at that time, he was appointed by Lai Qingde to introduce Lai Meihui, who was recommended to run for the "speaker", to know the former speaker of the parliament, Huang YuwenThen let Huang Yuwen buy 5 blue camp and non-party legislators to support Lai Meihui with 1 million votes per vote. At present, Wang Minxing has publicly reported the matter to the Tainan City Investigation Department, and the Tainan City Procuratorate responded that an investigation is ongoing.
You must know that in 2015, when Lai Qingde was the mayor of Tainan, he held the banner of the so-called "fight against black gold and refuse to enter the parliament", and publicly accused the then "Speaker" Li Quanjiao of bribing the election and creating a false image of "integrity" for himself. Now, if Lai's own election bribery scandal is confirmed, he will face unprecedented pressure.
At the same time, at this critical moment, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council directly pointed out a clear path for Taiwan a few days ago. Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, openly pointed out at a regular press briefing that "* harms the fundamental interests of Taiwan compatriots and runs counter to the mainstream public opinion on the island that wants peace, development, exchanges, and cooperation." Taiwan's future lies in national reunification, and the well-being of Taiwan compatriots depends on national reunification. I believe that the Taiwan compatriots will make the right choice at the critical moment.
Taiwan's future lies in the futureThe well-being of the Taiwan compatriots is again in the first placeThe answer given by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council is very clear, that is, it is reunifying with the country. As far as Taiwan is concerned, this is not only a clear road, but also a road that must be taken. And some "** elements with ulterior motives should also recognize the reality in a timely manner and act for themselves."
