Former deputy leader of Taiwan, Chen Jianren, has been frequently interviewed by media recently. After actively mentioning that Lai Ching-te had asked about joining the party, the outside world believes that Tsai Ing-wen is interested in Chen Jianren restraining Lai Ching-te in the 2024 party primary election. But Chen Jianren then accepted an interview with Green Media but changed his subject and said that he did not like elections and did not have plans to run for 2024. Then Lai Ye came forward and said that he and Chen were good friends. The two of them made the statements before and after, and Tsai Lai deliberately wanted to downplay the competition. Because the most important thing at the moment is to fight for the 2022 nine-in-one election first, and there will be no victory at the end of the year, so the rest will be more. In order to unite the atmosphere at the end of the year, Tsai Lai also puts competition aside.
According to Hong Kong China Review Network, Chen Jianren joined the party and believed that it was Tsai Ing-wen or the British group, and wanted to restrain Lai Ching-te and avoid Tsai's lame in advance. However, after Lai put on the "Trust Taiwan" pronouncement, which caused other factions in the party to describe it as "a puppy urinating around the territory", Chen Jianren accepted an exclusive interview with the media and took the initiative to mention that Lai You asked why he wanted to join the party. This competitive relationship between Lai Ching-te and Tsai Ing-wen and the British factions was almost brought to the table.
If the competitive relationship between Tsai-Lai directly comes to the forefront, it means that the 2024 primary election will start early. Now it is about to face the 2022 county and city mayor election. For the sake of his future development, Lai-Lai-Lai should not be happy to see the trend of intensification of competition, and at least have to wait until after the election.
Therefore, when seeing Chen Jianren first accepting an interview with Green Media, he was asked whether he participated in the 2024 "Presidential" election, he said that there was no such plan at all. In 2024, the DPP will definitely launch the best candidate, and after the candidate is released, we will definitely support it with all our strength. After the visit was released on the 29th, Lai Ching-te did not make the itinerary public on the 30th, but he cleverly allowed an electronic media to visit him in an exclusive way to attend the itinerary. He only responded to Chen Jianren's statement. Lai emphasized that he and Chen were good friends and could cooperate in many aspects in the future, whether international or island, to continue to work hard for Taiwan.
The statements of Chen Jianren and Lai Ching-te seem to have a tacit understanding, hoping to eliminate the competitive relationship between Tsai and Lai. For Tsai Ing-wen, she was the first to lead the nomination for the county and city mayor election at the end of this year, and she nodded in terms of candidates. If the election is not good at the end of the year, Cai will be blamed and he will definitely resign from the party chairman. Who will take the lead in party affairs will affect the formulation of rules for the 2024 primary election game. If Chen Jianren is willing to express his kindness first, then Lai Qingde has nothing to cooperate with as a "respecting Cai" attitude. It will also help 2024 to stabilize the election situation at the end of the year.
. In order to achieve the unity atmosphere at the end of the year, the upcoming Party Congress on July 17 will re-elect the Executive Committee and the Central Standing Committee member. Secretary-General Lin Xiyao days ago invited people who are willing to run for the election. I hope they can coordinate to the "same-quote election" first to avoid damaging the party's factional harmony. It has to be said that the DPP can indeed put aside their grudges for the sake of the election, at least the current situation must be stabilized first.
But this also means that after the county and city mayor election at the end of this year, competition among various factions of the DPP will take the lead, from the issue of "cabinet" reorganization, then the formulation of the 2024 primary election rules, etc., at that time, the internal competition of the DPP will be lively.
According to Taiwan media reports, Chen Jianren accepted an exclusive interview with the online program "What's the matter with me" on June 30, explaining why he joined the DPP and clarified the so-called restraining Lai Ching-te and other statements. Chen Jianren said that joining the party is the greatest support given to the DPP. In response to the outside world's argument that the green camp may stage a "Chen Lai showdown", Chen Jianren emphasized that this matter is groundless. He and Lai are good friends and cooperate with each other, and he has no plan to run for 2024.
Chen Jianren said that he joined the DPP last year because of invitations from many good friends. He also felt that he should give the DPP the greatest support and Tsai Ing-wen’s greater support in power, so joining the DPP is that simple. There are too many speculations and many reverie in the outside world, which is incorrect.
Chen Jianren also said that Tsai Ing-wen had never told him about joining the party, and he did not know that the application for joining the party was Tsai's signature, and they later gave it to Tsai Ing-wen. This is the whole story and is quite simple. There are many incorrect interpretations from the outside world, which is completely unnecessary, and so on. (Xue Yang/Edited)
