China Taiwan Network reported on January 7th According to Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News" commentary article, although there are many contestants in the 2018 Democratic Progressive Party's candidate for New Taipei mayors, no one can take on the role of "leader". Even if they cannot win, they must have the characteristics of "solid momentum". Should they want to "five palaces have a thousand years of success" or generational alternation? The candidate for New Taipei mayor has become a major problem for Tsai Ing-wen.
The candidates for the New Taipei mayor of the DPP include "Legislator" Wu Bingrui, Luo Zhizheng, Peking City Deputy Mayor Chen Jingjun, "Executive Yuan" spokesperson Xu Guoyong, "Minister of Culture" Zheng Lijun, and "Premier Prime Minister" Lai Ching-te. The article points out that although Lai Ching-te is regarded as the most capable of competing with Hou Youyi, he has a slim chance of running for election after taking over as "Premier" but looking at the current list, it seems that he cannot see it to play the role of "solid momentum".
Therefore, once the DPP is not nominated in Taipei City, New Taipei City is the candidate for B and C, which will not only lose momentum, but also give Ko Wen-je the opportunity to "point the sword to Keda Gran Avenue". At that time, the media will focus all on Ko Wen-je in the 2018 election.
article stated that this year's Democratic Progressive Party only lost more than 20,000 votes in New Taipei City, but the Taiwan authorities' political achievements were not good, so it was not easy to continue the momentum at that time. If officials Zheng Lijun or Xu Guoyong were sent, Lai Ching-te would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the New Taipei auxiliary election. However, unless the "cabinet" has outstanding political achievements, will "Lai Kui" who intends to move to the top position be willing to bear the dilemma of losing to taking off his pants?
As for "Legislator of the Power of the Times", Huang Guochang, although he escaped by chance in the last resignation case, the doubts about whether Huang Guochang will turn to the mayor of New Taipei have always been thrusting the DPP.
article says that it is understandable that the DPP’s grassroots in New Taipei City are trying to touch Su Zhenchang and You Xikun, but the bond between Su Zhenchang and Tsai Ing-wen is not news; as for You Xikun, although he did not have a feud with Tsai, the title of “Five Mansions Thousand Years” that You have always been worried about is “granted” by Tsai Ing-wen’s confidant.
Therefore, if Tsai Ing-wen wants to beat New Taipei City, Su and You are indeed cards that can stabilize the grassroots level, but how to invite two people depends on Tsai Ing-wen's wisdom. However, although Tsai Ing-wen has always advocated generational alternation, 2018 is the midterm exam for the Tsai administration and is under pressure to not lose. Therefore, whether Tsai Ing-wen should implement the determination to change generations or give priority to the "Five Mansions Thousand Years" to win the election will inevitably have some struggle in her heart.
