Taiwan issue has a long history and has always been a problem that our country attaches great importance to and urgently hopes to be solved.
Now that we have entered a new journey of socialist modernization, the reason why the Taiwan issue has not been effectively resolved has been delayed. In addition to the malicious disruption of the US hegemony, another very important reason is closely related to the long-term rule of the deeply rooted "Taiwan independence" forces within Taiwan.
The most well-known representative of the "Taiwan independence" forces is the "Taiwan People's Party Chairman Tsai Ing-wen" who has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad due to her malicious visit to China in Pelosi . When she mentioned her, she had to mention another person, that is Lai Ching-te, the man behind Tsai Ing-wen.
And this pair of Taiwan independence "comrades-in-arms" who seemed "intimate" in the past have now had internal strife, and Lai Deqing's revenge story begins with gongs and gongs.
1. The man behind Tsai Ing-wen Lai Ching-te
Tsai Ing-wen was born in 1956 and joined the Democratic Progressive Party in 2004 to engage in related party work. In 2008, due to his great achievements in work and recommended by the party election, Tsai Ing-wen successfully became a regional leader in Taiwan.
At this time, the party-affected party-related struggles within the Democratic Progressive Party was serious, and all forces confronted each other. In order to consolidate their internal party status, Tsai Ing-wen personally planned several violent conflicts. However, Tsai Ing-wen, who was in office for three times, was still unable to get rid of the serious impact of the internal party struggles.
In this party struggle, Tsai Ing-wen, as a representative of the new trend, was "cut off one-third of the followers of the party", but his capable generals were still reserved, including Lai Ching-te.
Lai Ching-te was elected as the deputy secretary-general of the representative of the DPP's new trend system in 2004. At that time, he was once called the youngest Taiwan leader in the DPP. He was known as the new Taiwan duo together with the young Kuomintang member Cai Zhengyuan , and has the advantages of understanding politics, diplomacy and connections.
Due to the new trend of the Democratic Progressive Party, other capable generals Su Zhenchang, former Legislative Yuan President You Xikun and others, in order to gain favorable support, Tsai Ing-wen began to bring closer relationships, and the relationship between the two began to become closer.
It is not difficult to see the two in many public occasions, as well as from Tsai Ing-wen's office to Taipei mayor's office. Lai Ching-te has always played the role of a personal follower and often provides Tsai Ing-wen with political insights and solutions to problems.
At the same time, Lai Ching-te also showed his firm support for Tsai Ing-wen. In the 2018 Taiwan leadership election, Lai Ching-te publicly expressed his support for Tsai Ing-wen's election as mayor of New Taipei . When Tsai Ing-wen visited the United States as a leader in Taiwan and his visit to Europe, Lai Ching-te was also one of his important entourages.
As the two people's contacts became more and more frequent and mutually beneficial, Tsai Ing-wen also appreciated Lai Ching-te more and more. Soon, she promoted Lai Ching-te to the Deputy Secretary-General of the DPP, and later she made him serve as a member of the Central Standing Committee of the DPP, and even the Deputy Secretary-General of the "Premier of the Executive"), the Deputy Mayor of Taipei City and the "Legislative President" and other important positions.
Not only that, Tsai Ing-wen also said in a report: Lai is the most important and critical part of Tsai Ing-wen's election team, because only Lai Ching-te can lead the DPP to the future! It can be said that in Tsai Ing-wen's important ruling career, Lai Ching-te has always occupied an important position.
2. The dispute over the chairmanship of the "Taiwan People's Party" has broken down, and the relationship between them has been reflected in the 2020 general election incident within the Taiwan party.
Lai Ching-te, in December after the Democratic Progressive Party’s “nine-in-one” defeat, immediately announced his candidacy for the 2020 “Presidential Election” held in Taipei.
"Presidential Election Activities" have important significance in the party struggles in Taiwan and is an object that many different parties have made every effort to realize their political ambitions.
And for Tsai Ing-wen at that time, the success of the 2020 presidential election was also extremely important for her, because as the last election winner, she could basically be re-elected this year according to previous years' practice.
However, due to the bad mainland policies during Tsai Ing-wen's last reign, it led to serious chain economic and social reactions, which led to a deterioration of the economic situation in Taiwan, and her public opinion base has also suffered serious losses in recent years.
It is understood that before the election, according to the poll of Foresight Magazine (slightly blue) on December 18, 2018, the public's satisfaction with Tsai Ing-wen was 19% after the "nine-in-one", but the dissatisfaction was as high as 70.7%.
TVBS (Blue Camp) The poll from November 26 to 29, 2018 had a satisfaction with Tsai Ing-wen at 15%, and a dissatisfaction with 64%.
As a comparison, when Ma Ying-jeou was elected for the third anniversary, TVBS polled on March 15, 2011, its satisfaction rate was 36% and its dissatisfaction rate was 41%.
In comparison, it is extremely difficult for Tsai Ing-wen to maintain the re-election tradition of her political career to achieve success in this election without a public opinion foundation. After
, with the "nine-in-one" defeat, Tsai Ing-wen resigned from the position of party chairman in order not to expand her own losses. In order to win the 2020 general election, she unscrupulously adopted more severe mainland policies to gain momentum.
She began to frequently appear in public media to deliver speeches. Unlike the past pretending to maintain false peace, she promoted "Taiwan independence" remarks, exaggerated the "China threat" and advocated separatism, and aimed at reconstructing her leadership position within the party.
His sinister intentions are sad. Just when her momentum seemed to be successful, Lai Ching-te suddenly announced his participation in the general election, which undoubtedly hit Tsai Ing-wen at this time and posed a huge threat to Tsai Ing-wen's re-election.
According to Taiwan's " Zhongshi Electronic News ", on October 22, on the last night before Taiwan's 2020 general election, Tsai Ing-wen and many general election candidates held a pre-election night campaign at the same time.
Korean Party candidate Korean Yu in Kaohsiung attracted 500,000 people to crowd the venue. Tsai Ing-wen also appeared in the public eye with deputy candidate Lai Ching-te, and there were different venues to compete with each other. Among them, Tsai Ing-wen mainly played in Kaohsiung and Taipei Two Sessions , while Lai Ching-te chose the two main venues New Taipei and Taichung ceremonies.
However, because Lai Ching-te still has a lack of governance, in the election of chairman of the "Taiwan People's Party" hosted by Lai Ching-te, Lai Ching-te, as a candidate, eventually lost to Tsai Ing-wen due to a weak 0.3% disadvantage in votes, but this campaign also made him "taken on the position of vice chairman" and became his "DPP chairman".
After being elected as the "Premier of the Executive" in Taiwan, Lai Ching-te changed his low-key administrative style and began to regard himself as a "pragmatic Taiwan independence worker" in a high-profile manner.
In his interview, he also linked his name of "pragmatic Taiwan independence" with the Democratic Progressive Party's "Taiwan Future Resolution" and said that "Taiwan is a sovereign and independent country, named the Republic of China, and it is not affiliated with the People's Republic of China. Taiwan's future is only 23 million people can decide." His arrogance is in line with Tsai Ing-wen, which is outrageous.
3. The internal strife of "Taiwan independence elements" was undercurrent. Lai Qingte's revenge was caused by the political allies of "Taiwan independence elements" who were inseparable in the past. Now they are on the same stage again and are competitors with their own purposes. In fact, the situation is now showing signs of future failure in the early stages of cooperation between the two.
held the first Third Session of the Democratic Progressive Party on November 27, 2011. This meeting was of great significance and indirectly prompted the new trends represented by Tsai Ing-wen in the Democratic Progressive Party to be divided into two factions, the new faction was led by Zhang Rongwei and others, while the legal faction included You Xikun, Su Zhenchang and others.
Since Tsai Ing-wen's power was not yet stable at that time, she was not very loyal to Tsai Ing-wen for the emerging new trends.
In order to gain support from the genre and to seek a target to divert attention, Lai Ching-te seems to have become a trustworthy ally of Tsai Ing-wen's political cooperation. She promoted her to become her capable general. In fact, she is indeed a political "puppet" for her to seek political rights.
Tsai Ing-wen's original intention to cooperate with Lai Ching-te was mixed with personal interests, which was destined to lay an unchangeable foreshadowing for Lai Ching-te's subsequent resistance.
And Lai Deqing is not a scheming political novices. For him, who has been experienced in the party and government for a long time, he saw through Tsai Ing-wen's ulterior motives from the beginning.
He knew from the beginning that he had different ideas and thoughts with Tsai Ing-wen, so Lai Ching-te was looking for opportunities to "resist" from the early days for his political ambitions.
As this point can actually be seen during such a tense period of cross-strait relations in 2016.
At that time, after the Democratic Progressive Party came to power, not only did not give the mainland more positive attitudes to deal with cross-strait relations, but instead further intensified the tension in cross-strait relations.
For Tsai Ing-wen, since the Taiwanese people have lost many of the mainland's valuable resources and interests, they have not found a person who can compete with Tsai Ing-wen for leadership positions to fight under the tension of cross-strait relations.
At this time, the public's attitude towards Tsai Ing-wen was extremely negative, and they were eager for a new representative who could replace him.
The depressed people's emotions at this time and their disappointment with the DPP just gave Lai Ching-te the best opportunity, giving him the opportunity to reverse his political status.
Lai Ching-te also saw Tsai Ing-wen’s current situation of losing power at this time, so he began to plan his own power, laying the groundwork for participating in the 2020 general election.
After the end of the 2020 general election, with the continuous development of the party's form, Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Ching-te's deterioration in the development of the "Taiwan independence" regime has transformed from private secret struggles to public struggles, and Lai Ching-te's crackdown on Tsai Ing-wen is still continuing.
According to Taiwanese media reports, the Democratic Progressive Party’s National Congress was officially held in July 2022, and the main content of this meeting was to re-elect party positions.
From the perspective of the content of re-electing party positions, it is mainly a competition between the "English" and the "New Trend" system.
Judging from the current situation, re-election is beneficial for Lai Deqing.
At least, he can have more say, which poses an absolute threat to the candidate of the 2024 election, Tsai Ing-wen.
After Tsai Ing-wen's second election success, she supported Lai Ching-te on the surface, but she also paved the way for herself on the "Taiwan independence" route, and her attitude towards Lai Ching-te has changed again and again.
Facing Lai Ching-te, he kept reminding the media that Tsai Ing-wen always maintained her own will and her relationship with Lai Ching-te became increasingly incompatible.
2022 is destined to be an unusual year. The situation on Taiwan’s island is even more subtle, and the people are full of complaints about Tsai Ing-wen’s leadership.
The Democratic Progressive Party led by Tsai Ing-wen has always stood at the forefront of "Taiwan independence", knelt down on the United States and licked Japan, expressed its servility, and then raised the so-called "patriotic banner" to curse the mainland. This behavior is extremely guilty.
