The "four referendums" have nothing to do with politics. They reflect people's dissatisfaction with the policies of the ruling party. However, the DPP insists on linking them to "resisting China and protecting Taiwan." Not only the KMT, but also other political parties do not buy it.

Taiwan's "four major referendums" will be held on December 18, and the winner has entered the countdown sprint stage. In order to achieve the final victory, the Democratic Progressive Party mobilized all its forces and used all administrative resources to conduct propaganda across Taiwan. The "Taiwan's Future, We Decide" referendum campaign video was directed by director Luo Jingren, and Tsai Ing-wen personally went into battle. The slogan "Four disagreements, Taiwan will become more international" made the sky over Taiwan full of smoke.

However, this time the Democratic Progressive Party made a mistake and called out "Team Taiwan" as a distinction between ourselves and the enemy to "resist China and protect Taiwan", which caused public outrage. Even the green-leaning "Force of the Times" party and the People's Party could not stand it. . "Power of the Times" Party Chairman Chen Jiaohua and People's Party Legislator Cai Biru took to the streets to appeal to the public not to become the target of manipulation by "anti-China and Taiwan" or "sell-out". They would use this trick to intimidate the Democratic Progressive Party if they criticize it harshly. He people. The "four referendums" have nothing to do with politics. They reflect people's dissatisfaction with the policies of the ruling party. However, the DPP insists on linking them to "resisting China and protecting Taiwan." Not only the KMT but also other political parties do not buy it.

Why did the DPP come up with the idea of ​​"resisting China and protecting Taiwan" at a critical moment? This is because the winner of this "referendum" is very important to the DPP and can be said to be related to the rise and fall of the DPP. If all the "four referendums" are passed, it will shake the public opinion foundation of the DPP and affect next year's "nine-in-one" election and the Taiwan leadership election in 2024. Therefore, the DPP must go all out , striving to use the authority of the ruling party to defeat the challenges of the opposition parties. Another embarrassment is that if all the "four major referendums" are passed, and the DPP does not agree with these four "referendums", how will it implement the passed "four major referendums"? If you can't implement it, you have to step down. This is the fatal part.

Therefore, for the DPP, it can only win but not lose. But now that the DPP has tried its best, and even Tsai Ing-wen has personally taken action, what else can be done. There is no other way to help. The DPP is a "Taiwan independence" party, and smearing the mainland for "Taiwan independence" is the party's specialty. It is also a trick to attract "Taiwan independence" elements to ignore right and wrong and raise their hands in support of the DPP's proposal. Therefore, at the last moment, it promoted the "anti-China support platform" to attract the support of green fans and drive votes from other camps, which became its vote-getting strategy.

However, the Democratic Progressive Party now also has a disadvantage. Take the anti-Lai pig as an example. This American Lai pig is "poisonous" pork containing clenbuterol. Even the green-leaning parties such as the "Time Power" party and the People's Party are opposed to eating it. Yes, the reason for insisting on introducing American pigs on the grounds of currying favor with the United States is too far-fetched. It can be seen how much sacrifice the DPP has made in order to curry favor with the United States. This is an exchange of interests in which the United States is "touched" by the DPP's sacrifices. Furthermore, as the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, Tsai Ing-wen caused the "essay scandal" incident and was seized upon by the Kuomintang. If the Kuomintang has a general capable of killing generals and seizing the flag at this time, they can take the opportunity to defeat Tsai Ing-wen with one blow. But the KMT is obviously too weak to seize such a good opportunity and allows Tsai Ing-wen to show off her power on the stage. It can be seen that from the perspective of strength comparison, the KMT is not the opponent of the DPP.

At present, the "four major referendums" are in a stalemate, and it is not certain who will win. December 18 is a very important day for Taiwan. The victory or defeat of the Democratic Progressive Party and the Kuomintang will determine the fate of Taiwan next year and 2024. Speaking of facts, mainland China will not allow the DPP to serve another term in 2024. If the Kuomintang comes to power, there is still a possibility of "peaceful reunification" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait; if the Democratic Progressive Party continues to be in power and pursues "Taiwan independence", the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will not be far away from hearing the "gunshot" of reunification.
