After the "nine-in-one" election in Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen once made a bold statement: "I will be a very different leader of Taiwan." Recently, she has indeed made some changes. Not only has she begun to change her position in her office, He held regular "corridor speeches" and also took the initiative to meet with the elected mayors of the six major cities on the island.
However, in the face of Tsai Ing-wen's drama of "reconciliation between the government and the opposition" by lowering her body and showing off her height, in the blue camp, in addition to New Taipei Mayor-elect Hou Youyi said that on the 15th, "the guests will do as they please"; Kaohsiung mayor-elect Han Kuo-yu of the Kuomintang did not appreciate it and declined on the grounds that it was "inappropriate to meet before taking office"; Lu Xiuyan, the mayor-elect of Taichung, said she had "not received an invitation so far."
On the contrary, it was the "Ke Tsai Meeting" with Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe. From the time, place and format of the meeting, Ke Wenzhe was in charge. It seemed that Tsai Ing-wen was busy showing her kindness to Ke Wenzhe with an eagerness. . Some comments in even pointed out that from the six-channel congratulatory phone call after the election to the current meeting of the elected mayors of the "six cities", Tsai Ing-wen's "drunkard's intention" is basically only Ke Wenzhe.
html At 2 pm on the 113th, the first "Ke Cai Hui" took place at Taipei City's North Gate Square. Taiwanese media witnessed that Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je rarely wore a suit and personally greeted Tsai Ing-wen. After Tsai Ing-wen smiled, shook hands and exchanged brief greetings, she was present to listen to the Taipei City Government's briefing on the results of the "Western District Gateway Plan".Some people noticed that at the beginning of the briefing, Tsai Ing-wen and Ke Wenzhe were whispering to each other, while Ke Wenzhe was listening and scratching his head, and their eyes did not intersect. Tsai Ing-wen congratulated Ke Wenzhe on his re-election, but Ke did not respond. Tsai and Ke had almost no lively interaction. When Tsai Ing-wen was asked by the media about the news that Chen Siyu, Director of Communications of the Taipei City Government, would register to run for the Taipei Citizen Representative By-election on the 14th, she turned to look at Ke Wenzhe. Ko Wenzhe looked surprised, and Tsai Ing-wen also laughed. . Lin Heming, spokesman for Cai’s Office, could only say calmly, “Today’s focus will be on municipal administration.”
In the eyes of Taiwanese media, the form and content of the "Ke Cai Hui" are far less attention-grabbing than the interactions in the "Ke Cai Hui" and the political associations behind them.
For example, if the "nine-in-one" election is a watershed, on one side is the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party who resigned due to the defeat, and on the other is the mayor of Taipei who was successfully re-elected, the "weak" former chairman will meet with the "strong" Shinko City at this time Long, what does the sparks smell like?
For example, some people say that the "Ke Cai Hui" is a political show, with "harmony" in form and "war" in essence.
In the "nine-in-one" election, Green Camp and Ke Wenzhe fell out because of their self-selected candidate in Taipei City. Blue, Green and White were cut to the bone, causing Ke Ying to complain afterwards that "Yao Wenzhi almost killed Ke Wenzhe." Yesterday, Ko Wenzhe and Tsai Ing-wen's former "literary bold" Yao Renduo choked in the air, and apologized to him by saying "there are so many tricks", which laid a strange atmosphere for today's meeting between the two parties, not to mention that the outside world has been Ko Wenzhe regards Tsai Ing-wen's biggest opponent for re-election in 2020...
Under the surface of the "Ke Tsai Hui", which is polite and courteous, is Bailu taking the opportunity to "hold the hand of reconciliation" and restart cooperation, or is it in Taipei? It is really curious to see that the citizens' representative by-election will continue to fight to the end.
Taiwan's "United Daily News" published an article stating that the Taipei citizen by-election is about to take place. Although Ko Wenzhe has not yet shown his cards, the "Ke Jiajun" has already targeted Chen Siyu, director of Taipei City Communication Bureau, to go to the expedition. Now we are waiting for the DPP to show its cards. Will it be comprehensive? To start a war, we should fight and talk at the same time. Although the top leaders of the Democratic Progressive Party frequently show goodwill and talk about white-green cooperation, in the face of the "winner takes all" democratic by-election, the green camp grassroots are making endless noises about starting a war.

If the DPP wants to gain a foothold in the "mudslide" of this election defeat, repairing the relationship with Ke Wenzhe seems to be the only option. While Ke Wenzhe has just overcome the "difficulty", the DPP will face the double test of the 2020 Taiwan regional leader and democratic representative elections more than a year later. It stands to reason that the DPP will be more interested in Ke Wenzhe at this time.But the contradiction is that there are still differences of opinion within the DPP on the issue of handling the relationship with Ko Wenzhe. Some deep green people, including the "New Wave", continue to criticize Ke, and there is also a backlash in the Ke camp, such as Ke Wenzhe's wife Peggy Chen He once wrote on Facebook, "Every time I think about the miserable days when I was beaten, I still can't calm down." He described the "hate welling up in my heart as something I will never forget."
From this point of view, it is not easy for Ke and Lu to reconcile at present. The "trick" of fighting and cooperating at the same time may be played out 2020.
As the saying goes, "meeting leads to love." After Cai and Ke met today, will the two parties open up space for cooperation?
What is the real purpose of Tsai Ing-wen’s separate meetings with the elected mayors of the “six cities”?
