After the so-called "Four Major Referendums" ended, the DPP began to work on the issue of county-city merger and upgrading. Among them, Hsinchu is the location of TSMC's headquarters, whether it can become a so-called "municipality" has sparked heated discussions on the island.
Regarding the DPP's issue of merger and upgrading of Taiwan's counties and cities, some media on the island commented that this is the first step for the DPP to take the victory of the so-called "referendum" to move towards sustainable "ruling". So what is the purpose of the DPP's so-called "6 capitals" to become "9 capitals"? Can the "Taiwan independence party" really "rule" in Taiwan forever?
First, let’s learn about how the DPP plays the county and city upgrade cards. On the second day after the four so-called "referendums", Tsai Ing-wen convened senior party and government officials to discuss the issue of county and city upgrading to "municipalities directly under the central government". Ke Jianming, convener of the Party and Cavalry General of the DPP legislative body, disclosed after the meeting that the main discussion on the merger and upgrading of "Da Hsinchu" on the same day, Changhua County, the largest county outside the "Six Capitals", is also striving to upgrade, and merge Yunlin County, Chiayi City and Chiayi County into the so-called "ninth capital". However, Taiwan's regulations stipulate that "the population of "upgrading to the so-called "municipalities" must be more than 1.25 million, and in areas with special needs for political, economic, cultural and urban areas development." The so-called "new three capitals" cannot meet the requirements of the island's regulations. In this regard, the DPP proposed a plan to solve the problem of "six" and directly changed the "and" in the article to "or".
Then why did the DPP make a big move and create the so-called "6 capitals" to become "9 capitals"? To put it bluntly, it is still for the election.
For example, Hsinchu, the surface reason is that semiconductor manufacturers such as TSMC are in Hsinchu, but the hinterland of Hsinchu is very small, so the merger and upgrade is "immediate". Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian, a member of the DPP, claims that the merger can make Hsinchu a "superconductor" connecting Taiwan's semiconductor industry to the world in the future.
But what about it? Lin Zhijian, the mayor of Hsinchu, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party, cannot continue to be re-elected in the next term, and Hsinchu County is a deep blue constituency. If he directly challenged the county mayor's election, he would have little hope of success. Therefore, before leaving office, he raised the issue of county-city merger and tried to gamble. If he could capture the Blue Army's iron vote warehouse by the end of next year, he would use resources to "green" Hsinchu.
DPP's Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian
This is really a typical DPP way to play. "Everything is for elections" and "for all elections", if the mayor of Hsinchu cannot be elected, he merged the counties and cities; if the mayor of Chiayi cannot win, he merged the counties and cities; if the mayor of Chiayi cannot win, he merged the counties and cities; if the merger is not qualified, he simply changed the system and truly do whatever he wants and acted arbitrarily. When elected, the DPP, which shouted the slogan "humble and humbler" slogan, showed every day the state of drinking "thousands of thousands of cups and thousands of cups".
For the sake of the election organs, the DPP also triggered ridicule of public opinion on the island. The Kuomintang Democratic Progressive Party Lai Shibao sarcastically said that the merger of Hsinchu counties and cities is the worst so-called amendment, which is entirely to find a way out for Lin Zhijian. The former Democratic Progressive Party Democratic Progressive Party Lin Zhuoshui also believed that the 6 so-called "municipalities" in small Taiwan have surpassed the mainland and will become 9 more, "This is a big joke in the world."
The people on the island do not support it. Relevant online polls show that up to 70% of the people do not support it, and the proportion of those who are very unsupported is as high as nearly 60%.
Taiwan media is also worried that the "rebellion of upgrading to municipalities" may break out in the future, and even more ridiculed that this is the first step for the DPP to take the victory of the "referendum" to move towards sustainable governance. The purpose is to "explain the roots of the Kuomintang", which is worthy of vigilance.
Can the DPP succeed in the face of public opposition? It is hard to say that the reason why the Democratic Progressive Party of has the courage that Liang Jingru can't give is, on the one hand, it comes from a so-called "opposition party" that cannot be supported by a scattered sand, and on the other hand, it comes from a so-called loyal fan who is confused and ignorant. In the so-called "anti-Lai Pig Referendum", large pig-raising counties such as Yunlin and Pingtung won the votes, and it is really hard to tell whether this is a "votee" or a "believers". The basic plate is the steering wheel. If there are such "deathful fans", isn't the DPP just playing casually? !
returns to the topic of "upgrading".For Taiwan’s size, the earliest “two capitals” are not small, and the current “six capitals” are not too many. Once the “upgrade” magic box is opened in the populist atmosphere, it will only go one way to the black. With the so-called “six capitals”, there will be “nine capitals”, and sooner or later there will be “twenty-two capitals” - who dares to say that Jinmapeng does not have “special needs for development”? Anyway, they are living by consuming money from Yin and raising money, so why don’t they take us to play? When the grand occasion of the "Twenty-Two Capitals" appears, the magic game will naturally collapse. There are "City" everywhere, and there will be no "City" at all.
However, the DPP is useless to play these tricks. It is just a dream for a "Taiwan independence" party to continue to rule in Taiwan. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait must be unified and will be unified. When that day comes, all the ghosts and monsters and tricks will come to an end. No matter whether you are Liudu or Jiudu, Beijing is the capital!
