On the 2nd of this month, Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Ching-te joined hands to create momentum for the candidates for the public opinion representative of the Democratic Progressive Party of Tainan. Some people asked Lai Ching-te if he would "Tsai Lai Ching-te"? Lai replied, "I want to ask Tsai Ing-wen this." Regarding the media's question about "Tsai Lai's favor", Tsai Ing-wen's answer was "the best combination will be announced at the best time", and the DPP cheered "Tsai Lai's favor" within the party has finally taken shape.
The so-called "Tsai Lai's partner" is that Lai Ching-te, as Tsai Ing-wen's deputy, participated in Taiwan's 2020 regional leadership election. "Tsai Lai's favor" was also a condition that Tsai Ing-wen tried to persuade Lai Ching-te to retreat in March this year. At that time, Tsai Ing-wen, due to the "nine-in-one" election at the end of last year, the public support level fell to a low point, and the party's tycoons kept saying "Just be just one term." Of course, "Tsai Lai's favor" will not be accepted by Lai Ching-te. However, Tsai Ing-wen used the power in her hands to play with Lai and finally defeated Lai Ching-te. Since then, she no longer mentions "Tsai Lai's favor".
Originally, Tsai Ing-wen's polls rose while chewing on the "dried mango" (the sense of "destroying the country") and taking advantage of the civil strife of the Kuomintang. However, as the "independence" organization "Xile Island Alliance" officially formed a party and launched Lu Xiulien to register for election, the green famous mouth held on to the fraud of her papers at the London School of Political Science and Economics, Tsai Ing-wen found that she was far from dealing with the "independence" bosses who asked her to "just be a term", and these people were Lai Ching-te's supporters. In the eyes of these people, Lai Ching-de is their successor and the "Taiwan independence" golden grandson. Tsai Ing-wen understands that only by holding Lai Ching-te can he get the support of these people. Therefore, the calls for "Tsai-Lai-Lao" to be the "best match" within the Democratic Progressive Party have revived.
The Democratic Progressive Party intends to partner with Tsai Ing-wen on the inside of the Democratic Progressive Party, including Su Jiaquan, the current head of the legislative department, and Su Zhenchang, the current head of the executive department. Su Jiaquan once had a bond with Tsai Ing-wen once in 2012. Tsai Ing-wen is extremely trustworthy, but his influence in the green camp cannot add points to Tsai Ing-wen. Recently, Su Jiaquan "challenged" the Democratic Progressive Party for his nephew's election as a representative of public opinion, and should not be on Tsai Ing-wen's list. As for Su Zhenchang, he was once Tsai Ing-wen's superior. During the Chen Shui-bian era, Su Zhenchang was the head of the administrative department and Tsai Ing-wen was the deputy, but the cooperation between the two was not pleasant. Chen Shui-bian recalled that Su Chang went to other places to report and even asked to transfer Tsai Ing-wen. At the beginning of this year, Lai Ching-te resigned as head of the administrative department by taking responsibility for the failure of the "nine-in-one" election. Tsai Ing-wen counted her fingers and found it difficult to find a suitable successor, so she had to invite Su Zhenchang, who was defeated in the New Taipei mayoral election. Su Zhenchang has a strong official position and strong execution ability, which actually adds points to Tsai Ing-wen. However, Su Zhenchang, who was accustomed to power, took advantage of Tsai Ing-wen's internal and external difficulties and played power to the extreme and interfered with Su people everywhere. Tsai Ing-wen saw it, but she had no choice. However, Su Zhenchang, who is known as "Changhong", recently went over and said one after another and made mistakes affecting Cai's election situation. Su Zhenchang knew in his heart that he, the head of the administrative department, was the last choice Tsai Ing-wen had to do it, and he would last until the end of the election next year, regardless of whether Tsai Ing-wen won or lost. Su Zhenchang, who once vowed to "no longer enter politics" in front of the gods, knew that vested interests could not be protected after leaving the stage of power. Just like he forcibly replaced Lai Ching-te's men, once he lost his power, his own troops would still be fired by others, and to continue his power, he could only be Tsai Ing-wen's deputy.
Tsai-Lai’s hand in hand is indeed of indicator significance. This shows that Lai Ching-te has emerged from the confrontational mentality of winning the primary election because of dissatisfaction with Tsai Ing-wen’s power. After a period of thinking, Lai Ching-te thought clearly that he, the "Taiwan independence" golden grandson, is not the destined "Crown Prince". If he does not accept "Tsai Lai's favor", when the DPP's Mesozoic Generation grew up, the four-year vacancy period is enough for the DPP to forget him. Not long ago, Su Zhenchang joked when attending a construction ceremony in Taoyuan City that Mayor Zheng Wencan presided over the start of construction today, and he should be the regional leader when he was working. This joke is both a picky and a reminder to Lai Ching-te.Therefore, Lai Ching-te has obviously actively assisted Tsai Ing-wen in the past month. In the middle of last month, he changed his vacation itinerary in the UK and went to the United States to canvass votes for Tsai Ing-wen. Yesterday, he arrived in Tainan event in advance and took the initiative to welcome Tsai Ing-wen, holding hands and shouting "Frozen Garlic (elected)" and "Tsai Lai's matching" has taken shape.
is less than 70 days away from the election, and the final registration is even closer. In the calculations of all parties, the veil will soon be lifted up. Editor-in-chief of
