The re-election of the chairman of the Kuomintang in China voted on September 25. Party members, Yunlin County Mayor Zhang Lishan, Nantou County Mayor Lin Mingqian, Hualien County Mayor Xu Zhenwei and other leaders continued to express their support for candidates Zhu Lilun . The above-mentioned blue camp leaders are all regarded as local factions within the party. The current chairman Jiang Qichen was elected by-election last year, which is called the victory of the local faction. Now the local faction leader has turned against Zhu Lilun, which is closely related to the rising momentum of candidate Zhang Yazhong . The local faction is anxious, and the effect of "abandoning Jiang and protecting Zhu" is becoming more and more obvious.
According to the analysis of the Hong Kong China Review Network, the Blue Camp recently leaked the party chairman election poll conducted by TVBS, and the candidate support was 30.6%, Zhu Lilun 27.5%, Jiang Qichen 12.8%, and Zhuo Boyuan 0.9%. Among them, Zhang Yazhong was not optimistic at the beginning to the rise of momentum, and all walks of life were concerned. Zhang and Zhu's recent tit-for-tat confrontation at political and debates has also become the focus of the party. Jiang Qichen, who is striving for re-election, and another candidate Zhuo Boyuan, have become marginalized.
The Kuomintang originally expected that the structure of the election of this party chairman should be based on the showdown between Jiang Qichen and Zhu Lilun. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yazhong started against the trend. Suddenly, the election of the party chairman became a dispute between the united faction and the local faction. On September 18, the party held a Taichung political meeting to support Zhang Yazhong's supporters, far surpassing the other three candidates.
So just one week before the election vote, two days on September 18 and 19, local representatives such as the Party member Yunlin County Mayor Zhang Lishan, Nantou County Mayor Lin Mingqian, Hualien County Mayor Xu Zhenwei, and Lanwen Lin Weizhou expressed their support for Zhu Lilun. The intention of "abandoning the river and protecting Zhu" was obvious, and it also showed that the rise of the unified faction made the local faction very anxious, so they had to take the team as soon as possible.
Last year, the party chairman’s by-election was held against Taipei Mayor Hao Longbin. In the end, Jiang won overwhelmingly with 84,860 votes and a vote rate of 68.8%, winning overwhelmingly. At that time, the election was called the battle between the other provinces (Hao) and the local blue (Jiang), and Jiang’s victory was even interpreted as the victory of the local factions within the party. Now that the local faction leader has turned against Zhu Lilun, it is obvious that in the face of the rising voice of the unified faction, the local faction has a sense of crisis and must operate between Jiang and Zhu to abandon the security, which has also made Jiang Qichen seek re-election add another negative variable.
The election of the Kuomintang chairman has entered the final stage, and Zhu Lilun and Zhang Yazhong have a fierce confrontation. Faced with Zhang Yazhong's aggressive momentum, Zhu Lilun replicated the DPP's tricks to fight the Kuomintang, threw out Red Hat, and criticized Zhang Yazhong for being a Red and urgent unity, which would impact the Kuomintang's 2022 election. Zhu's statements are tantamount to express his rejection of unification, and thus stigmatizing unification. It also declares that if he is elected, the line of relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will have a far-reaching impact and his deep strategy.
Another article on China Comment Network also pointed out that the Kuomintang chairman election that appeared on September 25 was due to the grassroots dissatisfaction with the Party Central Committee's soft and soft situation, which caused the "non-mainstream" Zhang Yazhong to rise in popularity. Zhu Lilun used the Red Hat tactic to arouse the awareness of crisis within the party and launch abstain from security. Influence, recently, Yunlin County Mayor Zhang Lishan, Nantou County Mayor Lin Mingchen, Taitung County Mayor Rao Qingling and other party-owned county and city mayors have publicly expressed their support for Zhu Lilun, and the party’s “abandoned the river and protected Zhu” continued to ferment on the eve of the voting. Zhang Yazhong's cross-strait line was surrounded by the founding faction within the party, just like the copy of the besieged "One China Same Table" in 2015 and 2016. Although Hung Hsiu-chu was nominated for the election, she was finally "changed" and led to a defeat in Deep Blue.
Zhu Lilun intends to make a comeback to run for the 2024 election. Everyone in the party knows that he has the intention of Zhang Yazhong to throw away the Red Hat. First, with the operation of Zhu Lilun's election in the operation of local factions and party member votes, it is not easy for Zhang Yazhong to shake Zhu. Zhu's opponent is still the current chairman Jiang Qichen. Zhu deliberately used the "abandoning Jiang and protecting Zhu" operation to rationalize the "abandoning Jiang and protecting Zhu" by exaggerating Zhang Yazhong's possible election and Zhang's unification line may cause the Kuomintang's defeat in 2022.
Second, Zhu Lilun’s redemption of Zhang Yazhong may not be just for this party chairman election, but he set his own tone for his political stance against unification and made arrangements for the 2024 “general election” in advance. Zhu lost 3 million votes to Tsai Ing-wen in the 2016 general election, mainly due to the DPP’s dried mango ("sense of national destruction") and red.Therefore, it can be seen that Zhu Lilun drew a clear line with the unified discussion by attacking Zhang Yazhong's Red Unification and the urgent Unification this time, and was disinfecting it in advance for 2024. The cross-strait route presented by Zhu is actually very clear. Although he did not deny the 1992 Consensus , he strengthened the "one China and each other's expression", sought the sameness and respected the differences, and stigmatized the unity. What is the difference between this and the DPP? (Edited by Xue Yang)
