According to Taiwanese media reports, People's Party Hsinchu mayor candidate Gao Hongan was recently accused of plagiarism by the DPP for doctoral thesis. When he made a big move to prove his innocence, he was involved in the so-called discrimination storm of high education. Taiwan’s election has always been a popular period for squid wars and fake news. Sometimes, although it can also accidentally reveal the hidden immoral or illegal deeds of candidates, it has always been common for election fraud and smear.

Taiwan's "People's Investigation Culture and Education Foundation" Secretary-General Chen Shaofu wrote an article in Taiwan media, pointing out that it is natural for Gao Hongan to feel wronged. Whether it is the press conference that it is a strong refutation of the DPP with a righteous and stern refutation of the DPP with a strong rebuttal or because of the so-called war education, the DPP made a big deal. Gao Hongan's sympathetic grievances not only show her straightforward nature, but also highlights her personal characteristics that are not very similar to traditional blue-green politicians.
Gao Hongan's grievances are not surprising. What is really surprising is that Gao Hongan chose the mayor of Hsinchu, not the more important mayor of the "Six Capitals". The DPP uses the strength of the whole party and combines various flanks to beat Gao Hongan. Such an extraordinary proportion and unusual political actions naturally arouse imagination.
It is obviously unfair to say that Gao Hongan is really so great and important, and it is necessary for the DPP to focus its firepower on her. Although the People's Party to which Gao Hongan belongs represents Ko Wen-je , it is probably not entirely true that the DPP is fighting Gao Hongan because it is aimed at choosing the leader of Taiwan.
But is Ke Wenzhe behind Gao Hongan? Of course not. Behind Gao Hongan is Ke Wenzhe, the larger figure is Guo Taiming . Gao Hongan chose the mayor of Hsinchu, the most important thing in Hsinchu is the science park, and no one can replace Terry Gou's representativeness in the industry. Whether it is Terry Gou or Ko Wen-je, the common thing is to be determined to be the leader of Taiwan. The real purpose of the Democratic Progressive Party’s attack on Gao Hongan this time was to go to Terry Gou.
This is also the difference between Gao Hongan and Huang Shanshan. As the only two representative mayor candidates of the People's Party, behind the two, except for Ke Wenzhe, they all have different associations. Behind Huang Shanshan is Song Chuyu, but Gao Hongan has nothing to do with Song Chuyu, but his relationship with Guo Taiming is extraordinary. If Gao Hongan succeeds in running for Hsinchu mayor, it will not only represent Ko Wen-je's victory, but also a starting victory for Terry Gou.
The DPP has always been quite afraid of Terry Gou. Since the last time the Taiwan leader’s “general election”, it has successfully used various means to get Terry Gou out early. When Taiwan faces the epidemic but the vaccine is seriously insufficient, Terry Gou's kindness is willing to donate vaccines, but the DPP would rather stop until the last moment than give Terry Gou a halo. What he is afraid of is Terry Gou's run for the next Taiwan leader. Gao Hongan ran for Hsinchu on behalf of the People's Party. All Taiwan recognizes that Gao Hongan is Ko Wen-je's soldier, but forgets that Gao Hongan is also Guo Taiming's soldier.
The DPP concentrated its firepower on Gao Hongan to engage in a personal destruction war, hoping to curb and block Gao Hongan's momentum as mayor of Hsinchu, which will eventually be futile. But for the DPP, as long as Terry Gou is likely to run for the leadership of Taiwan, he must try his best to kill or frustrate him in advance. Although the DPP has mobilized the whole party to beat Gao Hongan, it is actually not important to Gao Hongan. What matters is Terry Gou and Ko Wen-je behind Gao Hongan.
