Former deputy leader of the DPP authorities, Chen Jianren, applied to the DPP Taipei Party Committee to join the party at the end of last year, which caused heated discussions in the political arena. It was regarded as competing for the "big position" of the current deputy leader Lai Ching-te in 2024, taking the key first step. Chen Jianren also revealed in an interview with media person Huang Guangqin yesterday (23rd) that Lai Ching-te had talked with him about joining the party and was running for election. "He also asked very naively," but did not respond positively to the host's question, "whether support Lai Ching-te to elect a leader in Taiwan" which added a lot of imagination to the outside world.
Tsai Ing-wen and her partner Chen Jianren participated in the 2016 Taiwan leadership election. By the time Chen Jianren stepped down as deputy in early 2020, Chen was unparty. He did not apply to join the DPP until December 30, 2021, and the recommended person was "Tsai Ing-wen". At that time, the outside world believed that Chen Jianren's actions affected the DPP's election situation layout in 2022 and 2024, and could be called Tsai Ing-wen's "live chess".
Media person Huang Guangqin went to Chen Jianren's office for an exclusive interview yesterday, mentioning that after Chen Jianren joined the DPP, many " conspiracy theories " emerged in the political arena. She asked Chen Jianren, and Lai Ching-te had heard that Chen had joined the party before, and called several times to ask everywhere what was going on. Will Chen Jianren support Lai Ching-te’s election as a leader in Taiwan?
Chen Jianren did not respond to whether he supported Lai, and only said that he had an opportunity to talk about this matter face to face with Lai Ching-te. He asked Lai Huanyuan to join the DPP last year because several good friends came to call on him. At that time, he had returned to ", ," and served as a scholar rather than a government official. He could express his personal ideas about politics. So his friend asked him to sign the application for joining the party as soon as possible, "and the sign is over, and the story is over." Lai Ching-te replied, "Oh! I understand."
Chen Jianren didn't say who these friends are. But he said that when he applied to join the party, Tsai Ing-wen didn't know about it, nor did he talk to her. He was a "friend" who later gave the information to Tsai Ing-wen, and Tsai Ing-wen only found out.
Huang Guangqin asked, did Tsai Ing-wen want to have a competitive relationship with Chen Jianren and Lai Ching-te when she joined the party? Chen Jianren laughed and said, "I imagine too much. Everyone has a rich imagination." As for the outside world's name, he took over as the commander of the "Epidemic Command Center", Chen Jianren said, "No!"
Huang Guangqin asked if he was persuaded to run for the election of the leader of Taiwan. Chen Jianren said that he is currently obsessed with academic research and has achieved good results recently. The Democratic Progressive Party is full of talents, and there is no shortage of Chen Jianren, but Taiwan lacks one Chen Jianren to be a scientist.
For Chen Jianren, Lai Ching-te once asked him face to join the party to elect a leader in Taiwan? Taiwan Regional Leadership Office spokesman Gulas Yodaka said, "No response."
Taiwan's "China Times News Network" reported that after joining the DPP last year, Chen Jianren served as the "honor president" of the "Friends of Little Ying" and then took over the convener of the preparatory meeting of Lee Denghui Library. Not only do he support Tsai Ing-wen's supporters, he also has the opportunity to form a bond with the "independence faction". If he joins the battle in 2024, it is indeed Lai Ching-te who strives for the "big position" and the strongest opponent in the party.
However, Taiwan media pointed out that whether it is the competition between Chen Lai, or the dispute between Su (Su Zhenchang) Lai and Zheng ( Zheng Wencan and ) Lai, the DPP’s 2024 Taiwan leaders’ primary election will be Ching-te. But the difference is that if Chen Jianren wants to compete for a "big position", he may just stand at a high position. The relevant organizations mobilize, and the "British" team will take charge of it, while Lai Ching-te will do it himself.
Taiwan media believes that there is only more than a year left before the DPP’s Taiwan leadership primary election. Lai Ching-te will "build high walls and accumulate grain" during this period. How much influence can he exert? The party voting on July 17 will be the first report card he paid. (Lin Jingxian/Editor)
