Taiwan senior media person and chairman of China Guangfa Company Zhao Shaokang recently staged a "self-recommendation". On January 17, the 4th "Youth Experience Camp" held by the Kuomintang opened. Zhao Shaokang, the instructor of the "Youth Experience Camp", was asked "Who is the most suitable person to represent the Kuomintang in 2024 to run for the leadership of Taiwan". His answer was: "Of course the answer is me."

Zhao Shaokang is a leader in the "Fighting Blue" of the Kuomintang blue camp. He believes that he is the candidate who is "the most suitable candidate for the Kuomintang to run for the Taiwan leader in 2024" in terms of "knowledge, ability, ethics, vision, and pattern". It is worthy of being the "fighting blue" style. It is more than two years before the election of the Taiwan leaders. Zhao Shaokang has shown his strength and is bound to win. Zhao Shaokang's ancestral home is Shexian County, Hebei Province. He was once known as the "political golden boy". His eloquence is beyond words and he is a senior media person. But being a media and being a politician are different things. Whether he can get nominations within the Kuomintang is his first pass.

Currently, the most hopeful candidates in the Kuomintang to run for election in 2024 are the Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun , and the other is New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi. Of course, Zhu Lilun hopes to be the leader of Taiwan, otherwise he will not work hard to run for the chairman of the Kuomintang. He has already had a "small test" before and was ordered in the "pillar change storm", but unfortunately he failed. In the election for the Kuomintang chairman, he defeated former Kuomintang chairman Jiang Qichen and challenger Sun Yat-sen school principal Zhang Yazhong , and former Changhua County Mayor Zhuo Boyuan, which has shown that he has certain political means. However, his morale was frustrated in the "Four Major Referendum", "Show Off the Continent Case" and "Second Second By-election". However, there are more than two years left before 2024, and he still has time and opportunity to work hard.

Hou Youyi is a pragmatic person who is steady and steady. He will not participate in arguments that can show off his verbal benefits, and even the "Four Major Referendums" that determine the fate of the Kuomintang are out of the world. If we look at party spirit, he is not a "good party member", and he even has a good opinion of the current Kuomintang and is not loyal. However, Hou Youyi was able to be a good "good mayor". The reason why he won a good ranking in previous polls even surpassed Taiwan's deputy leader Lai Ching-te was not because he said it well, but because he did a better job. The eyes of the masses are sharp. Hou Youyi is arbitrarily quarrel, but he can win public opinion. This is exactly where his "strength" lies. But can Zhu Lilun nominate him as a candidate for the Kuomintang’s Taiwan leadership? Now it's a big question mark.

In the DPP camp, Zhao Shaokang also has two potential opponents, one is Taiwan's deputy leader Lai Ching-te, and the other is Tsai Ing-wen's favorite general and Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan. Lai Ching-te is a representative figure of the new trend within the Democratic Progressive Party. He is known for his "pragmatic Taiwan independence". He used to be the head of an administrative agency in Taiwan. Now he is below one person and above ten thousand people. He is the deputy leader of Taiwan. He once set a record of running ten games a day in the referendum between the Democratic Progressive Party and the Kuomintang, and his reputation in the green camp is at its peak. This time, Tsai Ing-wen sent him to transit the United States as the "Tsai Ing-wen Special Envoy" to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president of Honduras, which was clearly a training for him. In the polls, Lai Ching-te is the most promising figure in the DPP camp who is elected as the leader of Taiwan in 2024, and is strong.

Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan was once called Tsai Ing-wen's "Crown Prince". He served as the director of the Cultural Propaganda Department of the Democratic Progressive Party, director of the News Bureau and spokesperson for the administrative department. He was speechless. In a poll in early 2021, Zheng Wencan's satisfaction with the administration in Taoyuan was as high as 79.4%, which shows that he also has a certain governance ability. Therefore, it is said that Tsai Ing-wen deliberately cultivates Zheng Wencan and trains him as his successor. However, according to his qualifications, it is obviously not as good as Lai Ching-te in the Democratic Progressive Party. If Lai Ching-te participates in the 2024 election, the two will definitely have a fight.

In addition to the competitors of the DPP, the chairman of the People's Party Ko Wen-je is also one of the potential candidates for the 2024 Taiwan leadership. The People's Party is a small party, but Ko Wen-je is the mayor of Taipei City and his reputation is growing.Ko Wen-je once admitted that he "directly prepared to choose the leader of Taiwan in 2024", and Taipei Vice Mayor Huang Shanshan also confirmed that Ko Wen-je had this idea. There is also a small episode here. Former Kuomintang vice chairman Hao Longbin called on the People's Party to "blue and white" for the "nine-in-one" county and city mayor elections, while Ko Wen-je joked that he sincerely suggested "blue and green" and he would defeat "blue and green" alone, and declined Hao Longbin. Ke Wenzhe is a fantastic person, but the more such an opponent, the more confused it is.

Regarding Zhao Shaokang's self-recommendation, Hao Longbin made a very direct statement, believing that Zhao Shaokang is "absolutely a suitable candidate", and Hou Youyi also shouted to Zhao Shaokang, "Come on, it's great." However, this is true and still deal with the matter, so Zhao Shaokang can only guess and think about it himself. It's still early to 2024. The 2022 "nine-in-one" county and city mayor election will be held at the end of the year. People's moods are obviously preparing for what is happening in front of this year. Zhao Shaokang wants to be "Mao Sui", and Zhu Lilun may not be "Pingyuan Jun". He has no time to pay attention to Zhao Shaokang's passion. Zhu Lilun’s next itinerary is to go to Japan first and then to the United States, paving the way for himself and the Kuomintang’s future.
