Taiwan "Nine-in-one" election With five months left to vote, Tsai Ing-wen is finally about to make the most critical move.

Taiwan’s Epidemic Command Center announced that Commander Chen Shih-chung will no longer attend the daily afternoon epidemic press conference from now on unless major policies are announced. This is seen as a preview of Chen Shih-chung’s candidacy for mayor of Taipei.

This trend is already very obvious: Green Camp's "Queen Trumpet" Zhou Yukou has also revealed in advance that the Democratic Progressive Party will nominate Chen Shizhong. According to reports, the "British" group has even prepared Chen Shizhong's campaign office, which is located in the same building as the Tsai Ing-wen Foundation. Lin Jialong, the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party's "Main Congress" who also wants to be elected in Taipei City, has already had a premonition that something bad is going to happen. He can't help but publicly say, "The epidemic is related to people's lives and health, and the DPP's governance needs to be tested. Someone is planning Chen Shizhong." elections, but epidemic prevention should be given priority.”

Lin Jialong, who was forced to panic, finally said something humane - Taiwan's new wave of new crown has confirmed more than 3.6 million cases, resulting in more than 6,000 deaths. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities have never admitted their mistakes and even held funerals. As soon as his electoral position was threatened, Lin Jialong immediately told the truth that "the DPP's governance needs to be tested."

Many people questioned the Tsai administration. There was a shortage of masks in the first year, a shortage of vaccines in the second year, and a shortage of nucleic acid reagents in the third year. Why did Chen Shizhong still have the nerve to run for office when he clearly showed various symptoms of epidemic prevention? Why do you still have the nerve to brag about "advanced deployment"? Tsai Ing-wen uses Chen Shizhong’s candidacy to tell you what “advance deployment” means!

Anyone on the island knows that as a true "British" general, Chen Shizhong is the candidate for Taipei mayor that Tsai Ing-wen has long arranged. This move started as early as 2 years ago when he became the epidemic prevention commander of the Tsai administration. At that time, there were only sporadic epidemics in Taiwan. The so-called "epidemic prevention commander" was in the most ideal gold-plated position. He held press conferences every day to increase his presence. Not only did he have the aura of "successful epidemic prevention", but he also controlled the formulation of public policies. Huge power with resource allocation. When Chen Shizhong was at his best, his satisfaction rate was as high as 91%. follows the plot designed by Tsai Ing-wen. Chen Shizhong has developed into a "vote harvester" this year.

Unexpectedly, the new coronavirus treatment is not accepted, especially the Tsai Ing-wen administration, which only talks but does nothing. As the new coronavirus variant completely penetrated Taiwan's defense line, Chen Shizhong suddenly became an ant on a hot pot. He was helpless here. He wanted to go to the election but couldn't escape. Not only Chen Shizhong is anxious, but Tsai Ing-wen and the Democratic Progressive Party are also anxious, because the election waits for no one. In order to get rid of the problem as soon as possible, the Tsai administration decisively started a lay-down mode for epidemic prevention, and began to choose to "coexist with the virus" in April. It is said that this is an accurate calculation led by Chen Shizhong: According to the transmission characteristics of and , it will be liberalized in April, peak in May, and then decline in June. As long as enough people are infected, there is hope that it will be achieved in July. herd immunity , then the election campaign can go on as usual, and he himself can escape as he wishes.

Now that July is just around the corner, whether it’s because we don’t want to be tested or we don’t want to keep statistics, the number of confirmed cases in Taiwan in a single day has "dropped" to about 40,000. According to the standards of the Tsai administration, compared with the peak of the epidemic, epidemic prevention is considered a "success" again, and we must seize the opportunity to quickly move the battlefield. Chen Shizhong no longer regularly attends daily epidemic press conferences. To put it bluntly, he can come back to take credit for good deeds. If nothing happens, he will turn to the Taipei mayoral election.

Tsai Ing-wen

Against all odds, Tsai Ing-wen also wanted to bring Chen Shizhong back to run for office. Not only because of the "advanced deployment", which cost him too much sunk costs, but also because of the Taipei mayor's battle against Tsai Ing-wen. English is so important. Tsai Ing-wen, who is at the end of her term of office, now holds the power to nominate county mayors despite all kinds of criticism from within the party. This is not only to protect herself after stepping down, but also to have ideas for the future. In the battle in Taipei, as long as Chen Shizhong wins the nomination, even if he loses, he can block the growth path of Tsai Ing-wen's rival within the party. If he wins, it will give Tsai Ing-wen a key bargaining chip for her future comeback. You must know that this year's mayor of Taipei not only has the opportunity to gain profits from the blue and white competition, but the true whereabouts of the hundreds of billions of epidemic prevention budgets that Tsai Ing-wen and Chen Shizhong have held in the past two years are still a mystery.

Until the end, who knows where Tsai Ing-wen’s “advanced deployment” has gone?
