The DPP lost in 's "nine-in-one" election , and it was a big defeat, even the position of Taipei Mayor, which is of indicator significance, was also lost. Although the new Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan is a political rookie, as the successor of the Jiang family's political incest, many people still have high hopes for him. So, can he promote cross-strait reunification?
According to reports from multiple media, the "nine-in-one" election in Taiwan has ended recently. As expected, in this confrontation, the Kuomintang won a great victory. After all, the Kuomintang has been calling out on the island for months, so it was completely expected that they would win the "nine-in-one" choice. However, correspondingly, it is a bit surprising that the DPP lost so badly.
Jiang Wan'an
It is reported that among the 22 counties and cities, the DPP has only held 5 seats. Although the DPP won two seats in the six major cities, considering that the remaining four were all taken by the Kuomintang, and it also included the symbolic Taipei City. There is no doubt that in a sense, the result of the "nine-in-one" election has basically written the ending of the DPP.
After all, this election is generally regarded as an outpost of the 2024 Taiwan leadership election. Rationally analyze, judging from the current situation, Tsai Ing-wen may find it difficult to continue her political career. On the one hand, the failure of the DPP in this election can show that the "anti-China card" is no longer feasible, and public opinion hopes to see peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Therefore, the wrong idea of "using foreign countries to seek independence" among Tsai Ing-wen will only continue to consume the trust of the people in Taiwan. On the other hand, from the perspective of political territory, the seat of mayor of Taipei is very important. Under normal circumstances, people who become the mayor of Taipei have a high probability of becoming leaders of Taiwan, such as Ma Ying-jeou, which is a good example.
In addition, Jiang Wanan, who was elected as mayor of Taipei this year, has a special identity. As Chiang Kai-shek's great-grandson and Chiang Ching-kuo's grandson, no one can deny that the halo and resources of the Chiang family can definitely provide a lot of impetus for its political path.
Jiang Wan'an
This is exactly the case. When the news of Jiang Wan'an being elected mayor of Taipei spread, the focus of general attention from the outside world was whether the descendant of the Jiang family's political incense could promote cross-strait reunification.
Of course, part of the reason why the Kuomintang attaches importance to Jiang Wan'an is indeed due to the halo of the Jiang family. However, analysts believe that the main reason why he was able to defeat Tsai Ing-wen’s “result” Chen Shizhong was that his political philosophy was very down-to-earth. For example, in terms of epidemic prevention, Jiang Wanan had gone to the grassroots many times to listen to the opinions of the Taiwanese people, and this move has won him a lot of favor. Following closely behind, Jiang Wanan proposed to strengthen the "co-management and governance" between Taipei and surrounding cities to alleviate the problem of traffic congestion.
In this regard, analysis believes that compared with the halo and resources of the Jiang family, if Jiang Wanan can manage the results of the grassroots level and maintain his image with all his heart, even if his next political path will not be smooth, at least there is a high probability that there will be no big obstacles. As for whether Jiang Wanan can promote cross-strait reunification, analysts believe that he can be expected.
First of all, the Jiang family has always regarded the great cause of reunification of the motherland as its mission. Therefore, according to the family culture inheritance of the Chinese nation, I believe that no matter how bad Jiang Wanan's feelings for his family and country are, it will not be much worse. It is undeniable that under the brainwashing of the DPP authorities, the current voices of Taiwan identifying "one China" have become less and less. But as mentioned above, the DPP's disastrous defeat in the "nine-in-one" election is enough to show that the people on the island have awakened one after another, and they realize that the so-called "anti-China" will only harm Taiwan. Therefore, if Jiang Wanan could raise his arms and take advantage of the Jiang family's political halo, there would be a great opportunity to turn the world around.
Secondly, although Jiang Wanan has no political experience, in the Kuomintang, there are not only people like Zhu Lilun who are ulterior motives. Analysts believe that decent bigwigs such as Hung Hsiu-chu and Han Kuo-yu will definitely be able to play the role of guide.Moreover, Jiang Wanan is still very young now. Based on the position of Taipei Mayor, he has enough time and space to train.
It is worth mentioning that Taiwanese media pointed out that Jiang Wanan made Taipei citizens think that he could "work well" has always been one of the main reasons why he gained voter support. Therefore, whether he can implement some of his political views put forward earlier and seek benefits for Taipei City may become the key to whether his political path can be smooth. After all, if Jiang Wanan blindly held the titles of "Jiang Wanan of the Jiang family" and "KMT Jiang Wanan" without actual results, it would be difficult for him to maintain the current public opinion base for a long time. Therefore, for Jiang Wanan, the election of mayor of Taipei is the beginning of the test.
Jiang Wan'an
Generally speaking, based on Jiang Wan'an's identity and public opinion on the island, he will definitely have a positive role in being elected as mayor of Taipei. But considering the political atmosphere on the island, whether Jiang Wanan can correct the situation must be left to time to test it. We will wait and see, and hope that he will not let down his expectations and make historic contributions to the great cause of national reunification under the guidance of the older generation of patriots and unificationists on the island!
