Lai Qingde got into trouble again
With less than a month to go before the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, polls show that the support rate of ** candidate Lai Qingde is still in the lead. At the time of the "blue-white tie", some commentators felt that the election was decided and that it was entering so-called "garbage time" with no chance of reversal.
However, the subsequent changes were unexpected. After the completion of the integration, the Kuomintang has added a lot of variables to this election. It's just that for anyone, the biggest enemy is still yourself. As for Lai Qingde's election, which should have been "winn", the biggest variable that may ultimately fall short is his stubborn and extreme character.

For example, on the issue of Lai Qingde's ancestral house being illegally built, his opponent had already let him go, but Lai Qingde himself could not let go. On the one hand, his teammates continue to go on expeditions to attack their competitors' illegal construction problemsOn the other hand, Lai Qingde constantly defended his illegal construction issues, and even choked up and shed tears in public several times to try to divert the focus.
Lai thought he would win the sympathy of his supporters by doing so, but he gave his opponents an excellent topic to attack. Ke Wenzhe scolded him for changing from "** Golden Sun" to "** Turtle Sun", but he was reluctant to demolish the illegal building. Zhao Shaokang openly gambled with him, saying that as long as Lai Qingde was dismantled, he would resign as chairman of Zhongguang, who did not have to resign. And Huang Guochang, another "illegal construction sufferer", even released a historical aerial photo of the building of Lai Qingde's hometown, pointing out that Lai Qingde's house is not a problem of repair, but a "reconstruction" at all, because he cannot get a legal license, so in fact, there is a more serious problem of tax evasion. As a result, "Lai Qingde's illegal construction" has become a high-frequency word in this election. A famous person in the green camp also confessed that he did not know how to defend Lai Qingde's "illegal construction".
It is worth noting that Lai Qingde has transferred the property to his son's name, but the spokesman of the green camp said that it is his relative's house and that the relative is responsible for the relevant matters. The idea of calling "son" as "relative" is really funny, and it may only be possible for ***'s Chinese education policy to have such a result.

After all, the problem of the syllabus on the island is also burning. Previously, a middle school teacher's criticism of the syllabus resonated with the island's society, and the teacher said that he presided over the revision of the Chinese syllabus to delete a large number of ancient texts, including Gu Yanwu's "Honest Shame" and so on. As a result, You Xikun, the person in charge of the legislature of the Taiwan authorities and a member of the ** nationality, actually responded that "honesty and shame" is a product of "monarchy" and has long been outdated. So, this is naturally reminiscent of the value pursued by *** is "don't be ashamed"?
Since Lai Qingde became the chairman, he has always considered his own election, and almost all of the problems encountered by others are "quick knives to cut through the mess", not only ruthless, but even contrary to the so-called "principle of proportionality". For example, he pushed for the passage of a law prohibiting people with criminal records from running for public office, which almost cut off the political future of many people, including his son Chen Zhizhong. For this reason, **also went to Taipei**.
However, when it comes to the problems of himself and his New Trend faction, Lai Qingde is another standard. For example, the incident of renting a mansion in Pan Meng'an, who served as his election officer, and the outflow of Zheng Wencan's hotel, etc., actually involve the use of political influence. However, both of them were at peace, and Lai Qingde also pretended to be deaf and dumb. This is called *** How can people from other factions be convinced?For example, Su Zhenqing, who was unable to be elected in Pingtung because of the ** case, simply sent his son Su Mengchun to fight for voters without party membership to impact the election results, so that the opponents of the blue camp had a chance to be elected because of the ** of the green camp.
This time, the election of the Democratic Representative is not optimistic, and it also affects Lai Qingde's election. For example, many people have higher personal support than Lai Qingde in their constituency, but because they are on par with their opponents, they do not want Lai Qingde to come to the platform for fear of being dragged down by him. The reason is that he may have won, but as a result, his supporters may run away because they hate Lai Qingde.
Speaking of Lai Qingde himself, not only lacks the charm of the masses, but also bears the burden of being in power for eight years, and cannot rely on putting forward policies to strengthen like Hou Youyi, and due to the lack of an election axis, it is difficult for Lai Qingde to arouse the enthusiasm of supporters. Therefore, this election is completely dependent on the relative unity of the green camp, and the scale is slightly larger than that of the blue camp and is in the leading position.
**Recently, the "Rescue Wang Yichuan Soldiers" campaign was launched, threatening to send Wang Yichuan, the former director of the Taichung City Transportation Bureau and a famous mouth, who ranked 14th in the district, to the Taiwan legislature. Source: **Taipei City Councilor Lin Yanfeng's office.
In order to boost the support of the political party, he played a so-called "saving Wang Yichuan's soldiers". Wang Yichuan is one of the 14 non-district people's representatives nominated by ***, and judging from the results of this election, he is outside the safe list. Wang Yichuan used to be the director of the Taichung City Transportation Bureau, and during Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland, Wang Yichuan made a big statement that the mainland high-speed rail seats had no backrests, and they specially installed backrests for Ma Ying-jeou, so he was ridiculed as "Brother Backrest". He gained popularity with gags on green media political talk shows, and as a former traffic chief, he was also photographed driving in violation of traffic rules. To support such a person in the legislature is not only indifferent, but even disgusting to voters in the middle.
In addition, a recent news broke that Yu Tian, a well-known singer of the same political faction as Wang Yichuan, has been very supportive of *** for many years, which is also a guest who can create an atmosphere on *** occasions. He is the chairman of the party department of New Taipei City and a regional representative of the people. But this time, Yu Tian has repeatedly stated that he does not want to elect for the regional people's representative anymore, but wants to be nominated by *** and directly enter the list of non-regional people's representatives. Moreover, he also expressed his position on the public occasion when he was on the same stage with Lai Qingde. But Lai Qingde talked about him left and right, and finally did not put it into the non-partition. caused Yu Tian to be depressed, and simply stopped participating in any campaign activities. Although Yu Tian later argued that he was old and had no intention of participating in the campaign, what was highlighted was the indifferent image of Lai Qingde.
Xiao Meiqin is no longer Lai Qingde's "plus".

When Lai Qingde initially announced that he would let Xiao Meiqin be his deputy, because Xiao Meiqin's image and affinity were higher than his, he brought him some young people's support. However, as she participated in more and more public events, it was revealed that Xiao Meiqin's discourse ability was as empty as Lai Qingde. Therefore, the short-term heat caused by Xiao Meiqin is also accelerating to subside.
Taiwan's National Chengchi University recently invited the deputies of the three parties to give a speech, and compared with the three, Zhao Shaokang is a straight ball duel, which is completely incomparable to Xiao Meiqin. As for Wu Xinying, deputy of the People's Party, although she was previously ridiculed as a "princess of the consortium" and criticized for being arrogant to the public, in this speech, although limited by her Chinese expression ability, the effect of the speech was greatly reduced, but it also showed some fresh views of a political layman on the political and economic development of the island, showing that he also has very good financial literacy and social insights.
So in contrast, Xiao Meiqin's empty perfunctory is also exposed. She wasn't ignorant of the real problems on the island, but she really didn't care. She answered all the sharp questions with empty remarks, which seemed to say a lot, but when you think about it, she actually said nothing. Many netizens commented that "listening to your words is like listening to your words".
Xiao Meiqin is of mixed Chinese and American descent, her father is Taiwanese, and she gave birth to Xiao Meiqin in Japan, Xiao studied in Taiwan until high school, and then went to the United States, and obtained American citizenship. Therefore, the question of Xiao Meiqin's identity is full of doubts, whether she declared her Taiwanese identity after she was born, when she obtained American citizenship, and even the identity of her father. These problems have not been settled by the determination of the island's election committee, but have a tendency to become more and more serious. Because Xiao Meiqin's past remarks, and even her autobiography, said that she has always been an American and does not have Taiwanese identity.
Xiao Meiqin's identity dispute is actually very easy to justify, as long as her relevant legal documents are displayed. But Xiao Meiqin and the *** authorities just refused to show it, so just like Tsai Ing-wen's **, they were artificially created a fog. It is estimated that even if "Lai Xiao" is elected this time, her identity doubts will always follow her and become an uncertain "bomb".
So the absurdity of this election on the island is also here. Lai Qingde's grandson is an American, and the deputy he is looking for may really be an American. As a result, a situation has arisen in which the Americans are suspected of electing the leader of the Taiwan region, and the "relatives of Americans" and "suspected Americans" also advocate the so-called "**, no wonder they do not mind pushing Taiwan into a state of war and danger."
The unprecedented unity of the Kuomintang
This week, Wang Jinping agreed to serve as the president of Hou Youyi's campaign support association, and immediately invited representatives of local forces to a meeting to win support for Hou Youyi, including many representatives of forces who supported Guo Taiming in the past. Wang Jinping also said that he would actively strive for Guo Taiming to return to the team. So far, in this election battle, the KMT has reached a level of unity unprecedented since 2012.
In this game, Zhao Shaokang, who has sharp words, actively communicates with young people, participates in ** interviews, and starts air battles. Hou Youyi took advantage of his southerner background and good Hokkien dialect to expand his support in the south, and methodically proposed policies aimed at middle voters. Han Kuo-yu, as the No. 1 non-district no. 1 nominated by the Kuomintang, participated in the rallying of the local election deputies to raise the momentum of the people's congress. Wang Jinping, who has a rich connection, helped Hou Youyi coordinate personnel and expand relationships.
This is a situation that no one expected before the "blue and white break". The Blues are strong and united. Although there is still a certain gap with ***, many polls show that the gap between the two is basically within the margin of error. In addition, the poll also shows that there are already four ** willing to support candidates with high opposition support. In other words, the "waiver" effect is likely to occur on the day of the vote.
Therefore, the Kuomintang gradually accumulated the energy of "reversing victory" in this election.
According to the survey, fresh apples, fresh grapes, fresh citrus, fresh pears and other fruit products with strong export competitiveness and consumer demand in Taiwan cannot enter the Taiwan market.
It is worth noting that on the 15th of this month, the mainland announced the investigation announcement of the first barrier to Taiwan nearly a month earlier than the scheduled time, and the Ministry of Commerce determined that Taiwan's restrictive measures against the mainland constitute a first barrier, and the announcement and the measures to be taken in the future will obviously have a very big impact on the island's industry. According to past experience, this seems to provide an excuse for *** to manipulate the "pathos card", but this time the people on the island may not buy it. Just like the response of Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun, although in the past few years, although they have talked about "resisting China and protecting Taiwan", the economic and trade dependence of the two sides of the strait is still very high.
** Good at inciting populism for political gain. Over the years, he has also cultivated a giant baby mentality in the island's society, always thinking about "I need" in everything, rather than asking "why". Just like Lai Qingde clearly knew that engaging in "****** would create instability in the Taiwan Strait in the future, he said unashamedly that his election would best guarantee peace in the Taiwan Strait.
