China's Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Qichen recently published a new book "Departure for the Waves", indirectly paving the way for his re-election of the party chairman. However, in an interview, Chen Ruocui, a Kaohsiung City Councilman of the Kuomintang, believed that after the defeat of the Kaohsiung Blue Army's grassroots team was disappointed and unconfident in Jiang's leadership after experiencing the defeat of the Korean vote and the Kaohsiung mayor's by-election.

According to China Review Network, Chen Ruocui said that March 31 is the last day for party members to pay party dues, but Kaohsiung party members generally pay fees less than expected, which means that many party members do not want to participate in the voting for the party chairman election in July this year. Some indicator-oriented blue camp village chiefs did not pay fees, saying bluntly that they "was disappointed with Jiang Qichen and could not invest."
Chen Ruocui said that many party members and people really regained their party membership or joined the Kuomintang because of Han Kuo-yu, but these people almost didn't pay the fees this time. All the clues have long revealed the dissatisfaction and lack of confidence in the leadership of the Party Central Committee.
Chen Ruocui said that Han Kuo-yu scored the Korean wave in 2018 and allowed the Blue Army to win 15 counties and cities. Han Ke was said to be the indicator and political star of the Kuomintang at that time. However, after the 2020 election defeat, the Party Central Committee was often disappointing in the face of Han Inspur’s assistance and cooperation. These “disappointments” had already planted the foreshadowing at that time, and the grassroots distrust of Jiang Qichen’s leadership was also derived from that time.
Chen Ruocui said that in the Kaohsiung mayoral by-election, the DPP candidate Chen Chimai won 671,804 votes, winning more than 70% of the votes, surpassing the blue camp candidate Li Meizhen 248,478 votes. Isn’t the Kaohsiung Mayor’s by-election the Party Central Committee handled it?
Chen Ruocui emphasized that she did not act as a phoenix or a crow, just to highlight the anxiety at the grassroots level of the Kaohsiung Blue Army. At the beginning, many people had high expectations for Jiang, but now they were disappointed. Last year, the Party Central Committee was not in the force and decision-making was not clear, especially in the mayor by-election. How could everyone still have confidence in Jiang Qichen? This is what Jiang Qichen wants to convince the grassroots.
According to Taiwan media reports, the Kuomintang chairman is expected to be re-elected on July 24, and various troops are taking frequent moves. Han Kuo-yu recently made a comeback with a charity tour and launched the video "Mr. Han Knocks on the Door" and also took the initiative to care about the pineapple issue. Former New Taipei Mayor Zhu Lilun also announced the launch of a charity tour, and went to Taitung Green Island to actively prepare for the battle.
According to a report released by the island's online media Google Trend, among the candidates for election for the Kuomintang chairman, Han Kuo-yu has the highest voice within 30 days, accounting for 30.22%; followed by China Guangxi Chairman Zhao Shaokang, accounting for 24.07%; third place is Jiang Qichen, accounting for 21.75%; fourth place is vice chairman of the Kuomintang think tank consecutive victories Wen , accounting for 14.61%; lastly Zhu Lilun, accounting for 9.36%.
Lv Ziwei, who served as the former president of the Youth Trade Union in Kaohsiung City , analyzed that after Zhao Shaokang stated that he would not be elected, Han Kuo-yu was likely to run for election. Zhu Lilun and Jiang Qichen have begun to reach out to win over and retain future political flexibility to cooperate with South Korea, because South Korea has the strength to determine the direction of the trend, and even if he does not choose, he can influence the election situation.
