htmlOn the 28th, the Kuomintang held the "The Third National Congress of the Taiwan Party" and nominated Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu to run for the 2020 Taiwan leader on behalf of the Kuomintang.According to Taiwan’s “United News Network” on the 28th, the main axis of the Kuomintang’s “General Congress” is “innovation and unity and return to power.” After confirming the approval of the nomination, Han Kuo-yu delivered a speech, calling on the Taiwanese people to choose not the color next year, but the direction; not blue, green, or white, but choose Taiwan and choose the right direction.
It is worth noting that the top leaders of the Kuomintang gathered in this "General Congress" to create a unity momentum, but only lacked Guo Taiming. The former Hon Hai chairman Terry Gou, who was defeated by Han Kuo-yu in the primary election, did not attend the meeting because he was overseas. However, the Kuomintang still prepared a seat for Terry Gou on the spot.
In addition to formally nominated Han Kuo-yu for Taiwan’s leadership, this Kuomintang “Personal Congress” also passed an amendment to the Party Constitution, deleted the clause “‘President’ is the chairman”, and added five county and city mayors as designated members of the Central Standing Committee.

Han-yu talked about the cross-strait, economy, and how to arouse the unity of the Kuomintang members and arouse the people to understand the difficulties in Taiwan's situation.
Han Yu said that 2020 will not be a polite battle between gentlemen, but a life-and-death battle that is at stake for the next generation. He said, "I stood here today. I thought I should just feel extremely glorious, but in fact, I have a heavy mood because this is a responsibility that is weighing on my shoulders. The next four years will be related to the fate of Taiwan, and all people must make solemn choices."
Han Kuo-yu called for not choosing colors next year in 2020, but to choose directions. Whether it is blue, green and white, you must choose Taiwan and make sure to choose the right direction.
He then began to criticize the DPP for “ruling” and said that in the past three years, after the DPP came to power, their "love and tolerance" disappeared in the struggle for power; they were delicious and spicy, and they forgot about “the world has many miserable people”. The DPP’s rule has brought Taiwan’s economy back and its future is gone. In the past, the seven words "clean, diligent, and love the countryside" of the DPP touched many people's hearts. But today, the DPP has been in power for more than three years, and these seven words have been replaced by "corruption, corruption, and love power"!
Han Kuo-yu said that the Democratic Progressive Party, which Tsai Ing-wen "rules" today, has hurt the hearts of the Taiwanese people. In January next year, the DPP wants to continue re-election, but he heard many people shouting: "We have really couldn't stand it in the past few years." The political battle is too fierce and the people are living too hard.

He emphasized that perhaps in the minds of some people, he is not an ideal candidate, nor a wise leader. But democratic politics does not choose one person to solve all problems, but to choose one person. He is not only a person who can make the people master, but also a person who can stand with the people to solve problems and actively and optimistically create the future.
Han Kuo-yu continued to say that elections are not actually a "war" for candidates, elections are a "war" for voters, and elections are voters who use the votes in their hands to choose their future "war". In next year's "general election", everyone is actually not only choosing a leader, but choosing your own future and the future of our next generation.
So, he loudly called out: Dear Taiwanese people, don’t ask what Taiwan does for you, but ask what kind of "ruling party" and politicians the votes you have in your hands can cast for Taiwan? Democratic politics is a politics that you suffer from - "There is no coincidence in the world, and everything is cause and effect."
After Han Kuo-yu's speech, the Kuomintang Chairman Wu Dun-yi and Han Kuo-yu picked up a hoe, symbolizing the hoe to break the DPP's "government". Then, all the "legislators" candidates came to power one after another, holding blue bowling balls and throwing them out, so that the green ball bottles representing the DPP's "ruling" drawbacks are "all over".
Korean Party's "Personal Congress" creates momentum to show the unity of the whole party, and the lack of Guo Taiming
Taiwan's "United News Network" reported on the 28th that at the "Personal Congress" of the Kuomintang on the morning of the "Personal Congress", six successive party chairmen after former chairman Lien Chan and Wang Jinping, who served as vice chairman, were all here. Han Kuo-yu was arranged to be in the seat after Ma Ying-jeou, which was quite inherited.

Kuo wanted to use this "General Congress" to create momentum to show the unity of the whole party. However, it is worth noting that Guo Taiming, who lost the primary election, did not attend because he was overseas. However, the Kuomintang still prepared seats for Terry Gou, right next to the former Taipei County Mayor Zhou Xiwei.

As for Terry Gou's absence from the "All Congress", Terry Gou's aide and CEO of the Yongling Foundation Liu Youtong said that Guo is expected to return to Taiwan in early August. If there are any next trends, he will report to everyone. Liu Youtong mentioned that even if Terry Gou wants to make any decisions or instructions, he will have to wait until he returns to Taiwan.
Regarding Terry Gou’s future trends, can the Kuomintang make up for the last part of unity? Former Taipei County Mayor Zhou Xiwei called out that former Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou, who had asked Terry Gou to come to the primary election, and Hao Longbin, the Kuomintang Vice Chairman, said, "Please bring Terry Gou back to the Kuomintang."
Ma Ying-jeou said in an interview on the 27th that he believed that Terry Gou would be able to take the overall situation into consideration. After all, Terry Gou is a member of the Kuomintang who loves Taiwan and loves the Chinese Kuomintang.
Former New Taipei Mayor Zhu Lilun said that the Kuomintang must unite, but this time the rifts in the primary election process are deep, so we must unite with patience. Former Kuomintang Chairman Hung Hsiu-chu believes that he believes that Terry Gou must have a mindset to think about the overall situation, and unity depends on everyone's performance, not on his mouth, but on his actions.
In response to the integration within the party, Wu Dunyi said that since the Kuomintang has produced candidates for the 2020 "general election" through a complete, transparent and fair polling mechanism, he does not want anyone in the party to participate in the "general election" again. He hopes that no matter who fans he is, he should "not invest in the blue."
Wu Dunyi pointed out that as long as the Kuomintang splits, it will help Tsai Ing-wen continue to continue bad policies, which is not effective for Taiwanese society. Terry Gou focuses on economic competition. If the Kuomintang is divided and Taiwan cannot improve its economy, this should not be the original intention of Terry Gou to participate in the "Presidential" primary election. I hope Terry Gou can hear his heartfelt words today. He said that he hopes that Terry Gou can think solemnly, so that the Kuomintang will not be divided, and that Taiwan will continue to live a bad life under Tsai Ing-wen's rule.
When Han Kuo-yu was asked by the host during an interview last night whether he would ask Terry Gou as his deputy, Han said that he hoped to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with Terry Gou. As for when asked whether he would find Wang Jinping as his deputy, Han Kuo-yu did not give an answer.
In addition, the "Percentral Congress" of the Kuomintang also passed the amendment to the Party Constitution, deleted the provisions of the leaders of Taiwan as the chairman of the Kuomintang, implemented the system and spirit of the election of the chairman by all party members, and added five county and city mayors as designated members of the Central Standing Committee.
Some analysts said that this amendment allowed the term of the Kuomintang Chairman Wu Dunyi to be in office until the end of his term in 2021, and the right to nominate the Standing Committee is also expanded. It is interpreted to consolidate the leadership position within the Wu party.
Kuomintang Central Standing Committee member Yao Jianglin said that the current system may allow the party chairman to be dismissed because he successfully elected a party member as the leader of Taiwan. Only by deleting this clause can the normalization of party affairs. But this is not a system for the current party chairman to be permanently appointed. Those who have ambition can still compete for the position of chairman after the term of office expires. The system has not been tailored for anyone.
