After the "general election" on the island, some strange voices appeared within the Kuomintang. Some people say that they should be tough on the mainland and that they do not rule out the interruption of the "three links", while others say that they should give up the "1992 Consensus" to establish an "anti-unification" argument. A small number of people within the Kuomintang seem to believe that the Kuomintang lost because it was "not green enough". Strange talks are surprising. These people should think about it. If the Kuomintang becomes a "replica of the Democratic Progressive Party", does it still have a competitive advantage and is there still a need for it to exist?
At the end of 2018, Han Kuo-yu shouted that the "1992 Consensus" was the decisive needle, "'Taiwan independence' is more terrible than syphilis", which led the "Korean wave" to sweep across South Taiwan and won the Kaohsiung City , which had been in power for 20 years in the green camp. In this "general election", Han Kuo-yu no longer generously promoted the "1992 Consensus". The Kuomintang's cross-strait discourse shrinks inward, and was ridiculed by the outside world as "taking incense and worshiping the Democratic Progressive Party". As a result, he only received 610,000 votes in Kaohsiung, which is 280,000 less than the 890,000 votes in Kaohsiung mayoral election.
, and the two insisted on the "1992 Consensus" and lost votes, and the green camp "followed the incense and worshipped" was clearly visible. How some of the Kuomintang came to the opposite conclusion is puzzling. The reason is probably because the DPP is crazy about opposing the "one country, two systems" and the "1992 Consensus" and promoting the "Anti-Infiltration Law", which intimidated, threatened and persecuted the supporters of blue camp , which made some weak-willed Kuomintang members have illusions, and even identified and admired the perpetrators like patients with "Stockholm Syndrome", and then believed that the opponent must be used as their teacher, right?
Since Ma Ying-jeou won the election in 2008, the "1992 Consensus" has always been the magic weapon for the Kuomintang to win. Being able to handle cross-strait relations well is the biggest feature and core advantage that distinguishes the Kuomintang from the Democratic Progressive Party. However, some people in the KMT are confused about this, but Buddha is begging outside in his heart, always wanting to do something stupid to throw the pearls into secretly and abandon the secretly.
After the "nine-in-one" election defeat in 2014, the Kuomintang's failure in the review was divided into two factions. One faction advocated a clear stand and the party's soul, while the other faction believed that it should move closer to the DPP. As a result, the centrist faction gained the upper hand, and the voice of "China's Kuomintang" becoming "Taiwan's Kuomintang" was rampant for a while. Since then, the Kuomintang's momentum has been sluggish until a "non-mainstream" Han Kuo-yu emerged, which led the Kuomintang to win the 2018 "nine-in-one" election in an alternative way. Afterwards, all the Kuomintang members thought that "the opportunity has come" and came out to "get the seat" one after another, and the internal strife escalated again. Han Kuo-yu lost the momentum to give up in the "general election". He failed to take the initiative to attack on cross-strait issues, and showed a cowardice to avoid war, which eventually led to hatred.
The Kuomintang suffered many reasons, such as internal struggles and external struggles, such as failure to modify the curriculum in time while in power, resulting in the proliferation of "de-Sinicization" education, such as the DPP holding administrative resources, and the Hong Kong amendment storm, giving the DPP an opportunity to take advantage of it. But no matter how much is reviewed, we should not draw conclusions about the defeat of the Kuomintang and the adherence to the "1992 Consensus".
The "1992 Consensus" is the stabilizing needle for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the political foundation for cross-strait exchanges and exchanges. If the Kuomintang abandons the "1992 Consensus", where will it settle cross-strait relations, where will the supporters of the blue camp, and where will the welfare of people on both sides of the strait, especially those in Taiwan? Under Taiwan's political ecology, it is understandable that political parties strive to win the election, but can we ignore justice, justice, right and wrong, and national justice for the sake of votes? If "Taiwan independence" can be exchanged for votes, will the Kuomintang also pursue "Taiwan independence"?
What's more, some people in the Kuomintang believe that turning "green" is the way out, and it is simply because they prescribe the wrong prescription and take the wrong medicine, and use the poison as the antidote. If the Kuomintang abandons the "1992 Consensus", it will lose the value of protecting cross-strait peace, lose the party spirit inherited from the Sun Yat-sen era, and lose the role of checking and balanced the Democratic Progressive Party. If the Kuomintang is no longer the Kuomintang but becomes the "Emotional Epidemic" of the Democratic Progressive Party, what is the use of Taiwan's such a political party?
In response to this argument of following the green camp's baton and raising the flag to surrender, the knowledgeable people in the Kuomintang have issued severe criticism and warnings.As Taiwanese scholar Zhao Chunshan pointed out, some people say that "don't give up on food because of choking" and "the rights and interests of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should not be used as a bargaining chip for political bargaining."
The three armies can seize the commander, but every man cannot seize the ambition. The Kuomintang should not be worried and lose its ambition because of temporary failure. Only by adhering to correct ideas and values is the right way and kingly way to save the nation. At the same time, the Kuomintang must maintain a long-term vision and see that "thieves eat meat" can also see that "thieves are beaten." After all, with the DPP's rebellious actions, even if it is temporarily successful, it will be a matter of time before it can reveal its strength and pay the price.
