The results of the "nine-in-one" election in Taiwan have been released. Among the 21 elected county and city mayors, the Kuomintang won 13 seats, the Democratic Progressive Party won 5 seats, the People's Party won 1 seat, and another 2 seats are non-party. The Democratic Progressive Party has only won 5 seats in 21 counties and cities, and the population of "ruling" counties and cities accounts for only one-quarter of Taiwan's population.

Tsai Ing-wen used the election slogan "How are you doing in the past four years?" On the eve of the voting for the "nine-in-one" election, the former Kuomintang representative Tsai Zhengyuan also changed the slogan Tsai Ing-wen to ask the Taiwanese people: "Have you been doing well in the past six years?" The Taiwanese people shouted out their answer with the votes - no!
The people’s hearts are irreversible, and the people’s opinion cannot be violated! Ignoring the public opinion of the vast majority of Taiwanese compatriots and deviating from the interests of the vast majority of Taiwanese people will inevitably suffer the consequences. The majority of Taiwanese people will definitely and have made public opinion decisions.
What is the real public opinion in Taiwan?
It is to have peace, not war.
It is to be stable and not to be turbulent.
It is to live a good life, not a poor life.
"Live good life" is the most basic demand of the people, but good life does not fall from the sky, nor can it be caused by provoking trouble and creating turmoil in cross-strait relations. "Taiwan independence" is a dead end and outsiders cannot rely on it. "Anti-China and Taiwan" and relying on foreign countries to seek "independence" will not only not bring good days, but will also bring Taiwan into the abyss of disaster.
Taiwan writer Yang Du said that I believe there are many people like him. I have long been tired of the rising cross-strait conflicts and intimidation, have had enough of the slogans of "anti-China and anti-Russia", and I feel unbearable to the famous vocalists, cyber army, and flanks that TV stations swept day by day.
Taiwan's United Daily News published a comment today pointing out that the turnout rate was low yesterday, with less than 60% of many counties and cities, reflecting the people's disappointment with the current politics. Many areas that were originally the base camp of the DPP failed to issue the corresponding votes as expected, indicating that many light green supporters are unwilling to "vote with tears" against the green camp again. In addition, Su Qingquan from Pingtung and Xie Longjie from Tainan City pose a great threat to his opponents in the Green Camp iron ticket area without being favored before the election. These are all warnings of the Green Camp: taking the support of the people for granted, but not responding to their demands for fairness and justice will sooner or later be despised.
Comment pointed out that Tsai Ing-wen played the card of "anti-China and Taiwan" to differentiate society, saying that "investing against the DPP is to invest in Tsai Ing-wen" and that it means supporting the "Taiwan team". Now, a clear five-finger mark fell on her face. The public has other opinions on what "Taiwan team" is. How can she be right?
Comment stated that the DPP once thought it was the darling of public opinion, but now that public opinion is against the enemy, it has become a public grievance.
Only when cross-strait relations are good can Taiwan be good. Only when cross-strait integration and development can Taiwan be better. Only when the motherland is completely unified can Taiwan be fundamentally better. This is the best response to the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan. (Source: Today's Straits Sharp Review)
