According to China's Taiwan Network on November 30**, after the "Blue and White Alliance" broke down, Hou Youyi, a Kuomintang candidate in the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, and his deputy Zhao Shaokang joined hands to fight, injecting new vitality into the Blue Army. Since the formation of the "Hou Kangpei" combination, Hou Youyi has shouted against "** advocates opening mainland students to Taiwan and restarting ECFA negotiations and other issues, and also actively supports the construction of the Kinmen Bridge and the electricity and water connection between Kinmen and Xiamen." What is even more striking is that Hou Youyi openly stated that if elected, he would immediately launch a cross-strait peaceful dialogue. In this series of operations, Zhao Shaokang's influence in the world is the icing on the cake for "Hou Kangpei", and in the current tense background, this initiative has been well received by the people on the island. According to Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun on November 29, an internal investigation within the party showed that the gap between "Hou Kangpei" and "Lai Xiaopei" was only 04 percentage points, the situation is very urgent.
At the same time, a number of opinion polls on the island clearly show that the gap between the "double independence combination" of "Hou Kangpei" and the ruling party's "Lai Xiaopei" is gradually narrowing. In contrast, People First Party Chairman Ko Wenzhe and his running mate Wu Xinying are significantly behind "Hou Kangpei" and "Lai Xiaopei" in the polls. In the face of the blue-green camp, "Ke Yingpei" seems to be marginalized, especially under the "dual nationality" turmoil, Wu Xinying is questioned whether she holds American citizenship. It should be noted that Taiwan's election law clearly stipulates that electors must not have "dual nationality". In the midst of doubts from the outside world, although Wu Xinying verbally claimed that she had already renounced her American citizenship, she did not provide relevant supporting materials. Taiwan media disclosed that Wu Xinying's office has not yet shown a certificate of renunciation of American citizenship. In this embarrassing situation, Ke Wenzhe's office can only respond to the outside world on the grounds that "Wu Xinying has been a representative of the people's will for one year". In view of Taiwan's relevant regulations, representatives of public opinion are not allowed to have "dual nationality".
However, the outside world's doubts about Wu Xinying have not subsided. Even though Taiwanese media person Yang Wenjia came forward and disclosed the relevant information about Wu Xinying's renunciation of American citizenship in 2014, these materials only related to the tax relationship between Wu Xinying and the United States**, and did not directly prove that she had renounced her American citizenship. In a Nov. 30 program, James Soong, chairman of the People First Party, used his own election experience as an example, emphasizing that his deputy Lin Ruixiong directly provided proof of renunciation of American citizenship. Regarding the doubts of the outside world, Song Chuyu believes that if you want to win the trust of the people, you should provide conclusive proof. This begs the question, if Wu Xinying is indeed proven to be a U.S. citizen, how will Ke Wenzhe respond?Will they choose to withdraw from the election, making their previous efforts go to waste?Or they will withdraw from the election before and after the official announcement of the candidates by the election agency of the Taiwan authorities on December 5, and then support the candidates of the blue camp. If this becomes a reality, the blue-white integration may stage a sequel.
Some people may question why Ke Wenzhe has changed his position so frequently?In fact, considering the relatively limited strength of the People First Party, Ke Wenzhe has little chance of reaching the top in one fell swoop in the competition between the three camps of blue, green and white. Therefore, he may try to fight for enough benefits in this competition by tossing and turning as much as possible. I couldn't negotiate with the blue camp before, and I wanted to fight for the opportunity to dominate;Now that the situation has changed, we have once again cooperated with the Blue Camp to help the Blue Camp build momentum and obtain some political positions and popular representative seats after the Blue Camp's victory, so as to take care of the interests of the People First Party in the future. For the blue camp, the current competitors are mainly the green camp, and Hou Youyi has recently made every effort to win over Guo Taiming, who has withdrawn, and if the white camp can also provide support, it is obvious that he can win more votes. But in any case, if the struggle between the three camps of blue, green, and white is only for personal selfish interests and does not take into account the well-being of the people on the island, it will only turn into an empty farce in the end, lose the support of the people, and everything will come to naught.
