The battle for the leadership of the Kuomintang has begun. How many people will take the stage to sing?

The battle for the leadership of the Kuomintang has begun. How many people will take the stage to sing?

Liberal Party Chairman Hong Xiuzhu first made efforts to fight for re-election, and revised the party chairman election method, which caused an uproar;

then Hao Longbin got ahead of Wu Dunyi and fought for the party leader with a selfless gesture of not contesting the 2020 nomination;

then Wu Dunyi brought 22 people to establish the party The Committee held a press conference with great fanfare, and choked up and took out a small note from Chiang Ching-kuo expressing his courage to take responsibility. "Angkor cried";

The Kuomintang's party chairman re-election drama can be described as magnificent and exciting!

Just when everyone thought that the big drama of 's three powerful parties against had been finalized,

yesterday (1.12), the battle for party chairman broke out again Cheng Yaojin -

has been silent in the political arena for 16 years. Han Guoyu, a son of a military dependent village and a former legislator, announced his candidacy for the chairmanship of the Kuomintang.

Who is Han Guoyu?

To the majority of mainland people, Hanguo Yu is a small character who has never even heard of him.

Even among those who are very concerned about current affairs in the Taiwan Strait, those who know Han Kuo-yu are obviously very few.

This is not surprising at all, because Han Guoyu, who was born in 1957 and is 60 years old, has served as a Taipei County legislator and the second, third, and fourth Taiwanese legislators, but those are all It has been a very long time ago. In other words, he has disappeared in the political arena for a long time.

But Han Guoyu is not an unknown person. He is most famous or most memorable for two things -

• During his "legislator" period, he was dissatisfied with the speeches of Chen Shui-bian, who was also a "legislator" Content, and turned over the table for Chen Shui-bian, beat him up, and hospitalized him ! (PS. Look, being a "legislator" together with Chen Shui-bian is enough to show how old he is)

• Another incident is that at the end of last year, Han Guoyu, who served as the general manager of Taipei Agricultural Products, criticized Duan Yikang because of a personnel dispute because he used very bold words. , was challenged by Taipei City Councilor Wang Shijian of the Democratic Progressive Party during the questioning. The two exchanged firepower, which was impressive.

Both of these things show that Han Guoyu has a fiery personality and abundant combat effectiveness. In the Kuomintang camp, there are indeed not many such generals. In fact, when Han Guoyu was a "legislator", he was indeed a representative figure in opposing the Democratic Progressive Party. Together with the other two "legislators" at that time, Lin Mingyi and Zhou Shufu (Zhou Xiwei's father) , can be called the "Three Musketeers".

Why is Hanguoyu running for election?

The day before Han Kuo-yu, who has been the general manager of the Taipei Agricultural Products Transportation and Marketing Company since 2012, announced his candidacy, he had just resigned from this position because he was dissatisfied with being treated as a "greengroove" by the Democratic Progressive Party. Yesterday (1.12), he sat in front of a pile of cabbage and went to the front line alone to hold a press conference and announced his candidacy for the chairmanship of the Kuomintang!

"Give me a chance and I can transform the Kuomintang"!

This is Han Guoyu’s bold words for running for election!

He said that in the six months since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, Taiwan's ruling party has been in chaos, the largest opposition party is weak, and the people cannot see a way out for the future. He severely criticized " The people of Taiwan have been at a loss for a long time. The DPP is incompetent and arrogant, and the KMT members are depressed and miserable ." However, even though the DPP is in chaos, the KMT still does not stand up in the polls, and he wants to lead The Kuomintang has transformed from an "old and weak" one to a high-quality and combat-effective party!

Is Han Guoyu’s purpose of running for election really that simple?

Han Guoyu was born in a military village and graduated from a military academy. He is also a member of the Huang Fuxing Party Headquarters. Such an identity does have a certain appeal to members of the Deep Blue and Yellow Fuxing Party Headquarters. Since public opinion generally believes that Hong Xiuzhu controls the party machinery and is believed to be deeply supported by the Huang Fuxing Party Headquarters, Han Guoyu's participation in the battle will objectively have a vote-splitting effect on Hong Xiuzhu.

Taipei City Councilor Liang Wenjie, who has fought against Han Kuo-yu several times, revealed in an exclusive interview on a radio program on the 12th that Han Kuo-yu was able to serve as the general manager of Beinong because Wu Dunyi helped him. How could he and Wu Dunyi fight for ? In the evening, Liang Wenjie even broke the news on Facebook that farm workers privately revealed that Han Guoyu invited Wu Dunyi’s son to attend the wedding ceremony held by the First Fruit and Vegetable Market Underwriters Association on January 1, and also asked Wu Dunyi to be present to support Wu Dunyi’s candidacy for party chairman. He also accompanied Wu's son to toast table by table, and then he ran for the party chairman, "Is this an assist?"

Such remarks were naturally criticized by the hot-tempered Han Guoyu - he said that Liang used Facebook as a bow and a bow. The black paint serves as an arrow and keeps shooting out. If he can change his past and change his mind, Liang is welcome to join the Kuomintang. However, given the close relationship between Hanguo-yu and Wu Dunyi, it is not only the Democratic Progressive Party members who speculate that Hanguo-yu will act as an "assassin" and form an alliance with Wu Dunyi.

Taiwanese current affairs commentator Qiu Yi said in a live interview yesterday at our Taipei studio today that the big boss behind Han Guoyu is Zhang Rongwei, and the big boss behind Zhang Rongwei is Wang Jinping, and Wang Jinping is now in an alliance. The target is Wu Dunyi. He believed that Han Guoyu's candidacy was due to Zhang Rongwei. Zhang Rongwei's order came from Wang Jinping, and behind Wang Jinping, it was Wu Dunyi. Why was Han Kuo-yu sent? Because in the current Kuomintang election campaign, according to the structure of party members who are eligible to vote, party chairman Hong Xiuzhu is quite advantageous, because Hong Xiuzhu has mastered the military system of effective party members. As long as Hong Xiuzhu can control the military system of party members, his re-election It's ironclad. Hanguo-yu's background in a military dependent village and his experience as a councilor and "legislator" in Taipei County (today's New Taipei Province) have made far more efforts in the military than Hong Xiuzhu. His appearance will take away a considerable number of Hong Xiuzhu's military party members. In terms of votes, the votes of military party members account for half of all valid party members. If the votes are divided, Hong Xiuzhu may not be able to win against Wu Dunyi. Therefore, on the surface, Hanguo-yu is an independent candidate, but in Qiu Yi’s view, Hanguo-yu’s participation The selection is to conduct a split attack with Wu Dunyi. The purpose is to prevent Hong Xiuzhu from winning in the first round and pull down Hong Xiuzhu, which is an important step to achieve the purpose of "flood prevention" and "change of posts"!

Is there a fifth person? Zhan Qixian is also "thinking actively"!

It seems that the KMT's leadership battle is unprecedentedly fierce and the battle situation is treacherous. It is still unknown how many dramatic changes will follow!

Yesterday, after Han Kuo-yu announced his candidacy, someone from the Democratic Progressive Party posted on Facebook Ma Ying-jeou’s spokesperson Xu Qiaoxin, it’s up to you, hurry up and join the election to get enough “Hao Xin, Han Wuzhu” (so cold and helpless), it can be said that it is extremely difficult. Satire! In response to this, Xu Qiaoxin, who was named, responded that he was not qualified to run for the election. The Kuomintang's post-election unity will make the DPP unable to laugh!

Although Xu Qiaoxin is not qualified to run for election, the battle for hegemony of the Kuomintang chairman may still evolve into a battle between the five heroes!

Zhan Qixian, who resigned as chief vice-chairman of the Kuomintang a few days ago, attended a new book launch conference today (1.13). For the first time, he spoke of "positive thinking " and entered the party chairman election. In his speech, he mentioned that Li Jianrong's new book "A Century-old Party" "Ten Years of Storms", a detailed record of former chairman Wu Boxiong's critical days as party chairman, "I can realize that party chairmanship is a very difficult job", but Wu used wisdom and tolerance to overcome difficulties and let the Kuomintang make a comeback. He also said that the most difficult stage for the Kuomintang is that everyone has not worked hard enough, and now they all have to bear it together.

The rumor among the people is that James Chim will announce his candidacy as soon as the 14th, which is tomorrow! Today, Zhan Qixian said that he would have to think about it for three to five days, and said that the results of his thinking would not be announced after the Spring Festival. It seems that there is a high possibility of an announcement next week.

Zhan Qixian is Xiao Wanchang's favorite general. He was born into a family of doctors in Yuanlin Town, Changhua County. He has deep connections with gentry elders and medical leaders in central and southern China. He was also dedicated to his responsibilities as Chief Vice Chairman.Recently, it was rumored that James Chien resigned because he was dissatisfied with Hong Xiuzhu's "cutting" remarks on the party property issue. Therefore, his entry into the competition will further highlight that Hong Xiuzhu's leadership skills are not delicate enough and he is unable to expand territory and unite more forces. Short board. However, since Jim Qixian is quite attractive to local votes, objectively speaking, his candidacy may take away some of Wu Dunyi's local votes, so it may not be a bad thing for Hong Xiuzhu.

Is the battle for the leadership of the Kuomintang treacherous and changeable? It remains to be seen how Zonglianheng will be combined in the future!

From the release of the Kuomintang’s peace platform in September, to Wu Dunyi and Hao Longbin’s bombardment across the sea, to today’s multi-person candidacy, the Kuomintang’s leadership battle feels like the beginning of a grand drama. In response to this situation, the Kuomintang “stands up” The "Yuan Yuan" party group expressed optimism, believing that it shows that there are many talents in the party and everyone is willing to work together to boost the fighting capacity of the Kuomintang!

But the more people participate in the election, the more important the importance of "unity" becomes! Today, the Taiwan media "Central News Agency" published an article reminding the KMT candidates that in the battle for party leadership, what they should fight for is to revitalize the party's line. They must not repeat the situation when Ma Wang fought for the party chairman, fiercely attacked the black gold issue, and laid two foundations. People's hearts are entangled, leading to a situation of bitterness and hatred between relatives!

Speaking of unity, this should be regarded as the most painful sore spot for the Kuomintang. Last year's "election" in Taiwan, the drama within the Kuomintang party continued, which highlighted this problem. At that time, the theme of "unity" was also constantly sung. What was missing was really something to shout about! Nowadays, the same old tune is repeated, and it also depends on the ability of integration. From this perspective, Hong Xiuzhu’s chance of winning is not too great!

Wu Dunyi has excellent party and government qualifications. At the press conference announcing his candidacy, 22 "legislators" supported him at the same time. He had already "flexed his muscles", and he also claimed that the 2018 and 2020 battles have been considered and he has pockets. The list is not only about showing off muscles, but also about showing off "beef". There is no guarantee that there will be no "watermelon leaning on the side" phenomenon!

Of course, Wu Dunyi has been negatively positioned by Green Camp for a long time. Objectively speaking, he has the stereotype of being "good at calculation". For grassroots party members, his personality charm is slightly insufficient. Nowadays, in the election process, people are often too aggressive and make all kinds of satires and attacks on the route of "that person" (Editor: I guess it's Hong Xiuzhu, but Hong Xiuzhu said it's not her), which will also make this perception even more popular. strengthen.

From the current point of view, Wu and Zhu have the greatest chance of winning. Zhan, Hao and Han will split their votes. Whose votes will be divided and how will be divided? The future follow-up actions will determine the outcome of the battle. have a vital impact.

The whole battle situation is strange and changeable. Who will win is still undecided!

However, this election is about whether the Kuomintang and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have "the same expression" or "different expressions", whether to "maintain the status quo" or "deepen the 1992 Consensus." Finally, find the greatest common divisor and who is the final winner!

In this process, unity or division will determine whether this is an opportunity for a turning point or the beginning of defeat!
