Overseas Network, January 8 After the Democratic Progressive Party’s “nine-in-one” election defeat, Taiwan’s “Premier” Lai Ching-te kept yelling to resign, but Tsai Ing-wen has been publicly expressing her condolences. Previously, Taiwan media reported that if Lai Ching-te resigns, former DPP chairman Su Zhenchang may take over his position. But today (8th), the candidate for "President" has added new variables. Some Taiwanese media believe that Su Zhenchang is unlikely to take over the position, and there is another person who is more suitable for Su Zhenchang.
In a report on the 8th, some Taiwanese media said that Su Zhenchang is unlikely to replace Lai Ching-te as the "Premier of the Executive." Previously, Tsai Ing-wen told the media that she had never consulted Su Zhenchang, so how could she agree? The point is, has Tsai Ing-wen consulted Su Zhenchang in the past nearly 10 days? If not, of course there is no so-called "Su Mai" match.
In other words, with a respected "king of the heavenly king" like Su Zhenchang, Tsai Ing-wen not only needs to "come to the hall and worship generals", but also "visit three times" and make enough of the situation and face before she can motivate him. What's more, if he really was the position of "Premier" this time, of course it would be impossible to make a hasty matter by reporting the mission. Not only should Tsai Ing-wen and she wouldn't have done this, but Su Zhenchang was even more unlikely to accept it casually.
Therefore, some Taiwanese media believe that if Lai Ching-te really resigns, it is more appropriate for the current "Vice President of the Executive Yuan" Shi Junji to "form the cabinet".

But if Su Zhenchang really takes over as "Premier" it doesn't seem to be a happy result for the people on the island. According to a poll released by Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News", nearly 65% of netizens believe that "the DPP has no talents and no steps" will make this choice. Another 29.45% of netizens believe that "the one who cannot be elected is the 'Premier', and the DPP is indifferent to administrative ethics ", which means that nearly 95% of netizens disagree with Su Zhenchang's "re-black".
, while the island media person Zhao Shaokang pointed out that it would be "illogical" if Su Zhenchang took over as the "Premier of the Executive". He mentioned that things should be logical. Lai Qingde wanted to step down because of defeat, while Su Zhenchang and Chen Chimai also lost. Isn’t this strange? If you can go to power if you lose the election, then Lai Qingde doesn't have to leave at all, otherwise the logic will be unreasonable.
and New Taipei City Councilman Cai Yuanzhi also said on his social media that Su Zhenchang lost 290,000 votes in the New Taipei mayoral election. Chen Chi-mai, who is rumored to take over as the "Executive Yuan Vice President", also lost 150,000 votes in the Kaohsiung mayor battle. The DPP seems to lose more votes, the higher the official position. It is a true "lost cabinet."
According to Taiwan media reports on the 6th, Lai Ching-te's resignation is a foregone conclusion, and he will resign at the administrative agency meeting as soon as Thursday (10th). As for the candidates for the new administrative agency, it is reported that after Lai Ching-te resignation, the "Premier of the Executive" may be taken over by Su Zhenchang. Former "legislator" Chen Chi-mai, who failed to run for the mayor of Kaohsiung, and the Mesozoic generation such as Lin Jialong, who are expected to "enter the cabinet". (Overseas Network Luo Yiqing)
