Although the official number of votes received was not counted at that time, the campaign situation was clear, and Gao Hongan had confirmed that the banner of Hsinchu would become the youngest mayor in Taiwan.

1:30 pm on November 26, Gao Hongan, a candidate for mayor of the People's Party, appeared at his campaign headquarters in a Michie suit, and accompanied by a large number of supporters and parents to go on stage to express his election speech. Although the official number of votes received was not counted at that time, the campaign situation was clear. Gao Hongan of has been confirmed to plant the banner of Hsinchu and will become the youngest mayor in Taiwan.

The People's Party This year, this is the first time participating in the "nine-in-one" election in Taiwan. Party Chairman Ke Wen-je 's eight-year term in Taipei City is about to come to an end. Deputy Huang Shanshan failed to continue his rule. The PPP exchanged a city with a population of more than 2.6 million for a city with a population of 450,000. How to set up the Taiwan leadership election two years later is a question that Ke Wen-je must start thinking immediately after the "nine-in-one" election. In addition to letting Ko Wen-je join the game, the discussion of another possible candidate is also comparable to Ko Wen-je, and even far higher than Ko Wen-je - Hon Hai Group Chairman Terry Gou.

Gao Hong's comments on his election did not shy away from the label of "Termine Guo's soldiers". After thanking his supporters and parents, the first person to thank him was "Dr. Guo" - placed before Ke Wen-je and his accomplices.

Gao Hongan is about to take over Hsinchu. To what extent will it change the election pattern in two years?

"Termine's soldiers" plus "Hsinchu Light"

It is important to talk about Gao Hongan's "noble man, Termine Gou ranked first and Ko Wen-je ranked second.

Gao Hongan is a science and technology engineer, graduated from the Department of Information Engineering and Research Institute of Taiwan University (Sales Institute). During his doctorate in mechanical engineering at the University of Cincinnati, the supervisor Li Jie was the vice chairman of Hon Hai Group and was familiar with Termine Gou. Later, Gao Hongan worked at Hon Hai Group and once became the deputy general manager.

When Gao Hongan was a guest at the live broadcast room of the "curator" of Taiwan's internet celebrity during his election as mayor of Hsinchu, mentioned himself In politics, it is related to Terry Gou. She admitted that she did not want to go into politics at first. In April 2019, Terry Gou ran for the leadership of Taiwan. Because she had helped Terry Gou do research on AI and big data, and published educational books in the past, she helped Terry Gou do some political views. She said Terry Gou actually watches political commentary programs, but she kept turning on the Taiwan platform and found that this one was also scolding and that one was also scolding, and what she said was not true.

Gao Hongan said that Terry Gou felt it was not possible. Someone wanted to go out to defend his reputation in political commentary, so she turned around and said, "Gao Hongan, you guys go", hoping that she would tell everyone the "real me" she saw, "I'm not such a person." That is, in 2 In 20019, Guo Taiming's team recommended Gao Hongan to run for regional private representatives, and was finally nominated by the People's Party as a non-district private representative candidate. He was elected on January 11 of the following year. Gao Hongan also officially came from behind the scenes to the front.

Gao Hongan's engineering degree and employment background made her very happy in Hsinchu, which owns a science park. People at the People's Party's auxiliary election said that Gao Hongan's personality traits meet the preferences of voters in Hsinchu City and science and engineering background. As a "Soldier of Guo Taiming", many people will transfer their gratitude to Guo Taiming to Gao Hongan. When the COVID-19 epidemic situation is tense and the vaccine shortage on the island, Guo Taiming purchased the BNT vaccine and provided it to Taiwanese. An once had a call for a vote for one shot when he was running. The gratitude of the people on the island for Terry Gou has also accumulated a certain amount of popularity for Gao Hongan.

Guo Taiming's team pushed Hongan to run for the election, and she was eventually elected as a member of the People's Party, which was related to the cooperation between Terry Gou and Ko Wen-je. Gao Hongan said that after forming the People's Party, Ko Wen-je discussed with Terry Gou and hoped that Terry Gou would give a list of 7 people on the list, and Gao Hongan was among them.

Party resources are not the only help Ko Wen-je gave Gao Hongan. , Gao Hongan, born in Taipei, is a "outsider" for Hsinchu, and it was difficult to open up the situation in Hsinchu.However, on the one hand, the proportion of migrant population in Hsinchu Science Park is high, and the identity of "outsiders" has basically not hindered Gao Hongan's election. On the other hand, Ko Wen-je is a real Hsinchu native and was able to rule Taipei for 8 years. He is considered by the locals as the "Light of Hsinchu". gave Gao Hongan, who was "away game", enough "home court advantage", and the election situation opened up.

"Hate the DPP" victory

Although there are "noble people", Gao Hongan, who lacks the support of traditional political parties and local forces, would not have received such high attention and support until a person appeared - the current DPP legislative body, the general convener of the Party and Catholicism of the Democratic Progressive Party, is also the most experienced representative of public opinion.

Things start from the beginning of the DPP’s defeat in this election - Lin Zhijian’s paper plagiarism case. 8 years ago, Hsinchu native Lin Zhijian defeated the Kuomintang candidate who was seeking re-election, making Hsinchu city "blue sky turns green". Lin Zhijian, who was 39 years old at the time, was also the youngest county and city mayor of that term. After that, Lin Zhijian was re-elected and his term of office will expire this year. Under the full control of Tsai Ing-wen, Chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, Lin Zhijian was recruited and announced his candidacy for the mayor of Taoyuan.

Lin Zhijian himself has a good image and has not made any major mistakes in Hsinchu for 8 years. However, the Kuomintang was caught in a multi-party melee because Zhu Lilun forced the recruitment of Zhang Shanzheng . It seems that Lin Zhijian is sure to win. At this moment, Taipei City Councilman and Deputy Chairman of the Cultural Communication Committee of the Kuomintang Wang Hongwei revealed that Lin Zhijian's master's thesis at the Chinese University of Taiwan was similar to the Hsinchu Science Park Administration's bid for the same as 87.8% of the contents. After that, Lin Zhijian was found to be suspected of plagiarism at the Taiwan University's master's thesis. Later, it was confirmed by the academic ethics review committees of the two schools that the plagiarism charge was established. Taiwan University and Chinese University of Taiwan announced the revocation of Lin Zhijian's master's degree on August 9 and August 24 respectively. If Lin Zhijian came out to apologize from the beginning, he might not have ended up with the election before the election. However, Lin Zhijian denied it several times, and with the support of the Democratic Progressive Party members such as Tsai Ing-wen, the master's degree was officially announced to be revoked, and Lin Zhijian's reputation had fallen to the bottom of the bottom of the , and he had to apologize and withdraw from the election.

Tsai Ing-wen devoted all the party to support Lin Zhijian, which also led to the DPP's election situation falling into a slump after Lin Zhijian's paper. Then the DPP adopted their usual means - the outsourcing, and Gao Hongan was the target of the outsourcing they were targeting, and they did not even change the reason, and they still used the paper to plagiarize.

Taiwan media "Mirror Weekly" said that it received a revelation, saying that Gao Hongan's doctoral thesis and research cases and papers jointly published by other researchers of the CPC Association were the same in pictures, tables, etc., but the source was not cited, and it was suspected that the CPC Association had not obtained authorization. Gao Hongan denied it, and then the Academic Ethics Review Committee of the University of Cincinnati in the United States also determined that plagiarism was not established, but Ke Jianming, the general convener of the Democratic Progressive Party Cavalry of Taiwan's legislative body, held Gao Hongan tightly. He first denied that he put pressure on Zi Cehui and attacked Gao Hongan. Later, when Gao Hongan asked Zi Cehui to apologize, Ke Jianming retorted that Gao Hongan "wanted to benefit himself, took public funds but did not reflect on himself. He was a thief and called for catching thieves. It was no wonder Zi Cehui decided to sue." He also listed the judicial issues facing Gao Ho, questioning the reason why the perpetrator wanted the victim to apologize, and even shouted, "Do you still have the heart to elect? Finding a lawyer is more important than elections"!

Because Ke Jianming ranks high in the Democratic Progressive Party, the People's Party took the opportunity to make Ke Jianming's attack "the whole party beats one person." When Ke Wenzhe denied the pressure, he shouted, "Don't say that I don't believe it, and the people of Taiwan will not believe Ke Jianming's words." The DPP still refused to give in and continued to attack Gao Hongan in incidents such as the accusation of the dissertation, office provident fund, and "gender equality". Even the Kuomintang candidate Lin Gengren once participated in the attack on Gao Hongan. However, the traditional bombardment of the two major political parties did not lower Gao Hongan's election situation, but instead gave her a lot of sympathy votes, presenting a situation where the more fierce the DPP attacks, the higher the Gao Hongan's polls.

Some analysis says that as the ruling party, the DPP has performed poorly in epidemic prevention, economy and other aspects. Faced with a local election, it desperately used administrative resources to attack a new political person, and the reasons are all harmless. 's behavior similar to political "bullying" has caused the DPP, which is already in poor election situation, to be backfired. Gao Hongan's winning of Hsinchu was a victory of "hate the DPP".

"Delisted from the DPP" Will Blue and White join hands again?

If you just "hate the DPP", Gao Hongan's election situation may not be clear within 3 hours after the issuance of the vote. This time she was able to win Hsinchu, thanks to the integration of the two camps in the local area.

Lin Zhijian has occupied Hsinchu for 8 years. For the Kuomintang, it does not want a Democratic Progressive Party to take charge of Hsinchu , but his own candidate Lin Gengren continued to decline because of his participation in the attack on Gao Hongan. Faced with the common goal of "removing the DPP", the Kuomintang chose to stand with the People's Party at the last moment, using local resources to support Gao Hongan. Yu Bangyan, deputy speaker of the Hsinchu City Council of the Kuomintang, publicly criticized the candidate Lin Gengren, a fellow party, for "misconvincing some flattering people" and "reformed" Gao Hongan. Later, on the eve of the voting on November 25, he led a large number of people to appear in Gao Hongan's campaign, and enthusiastically shook hands with supporters on the scene, and publicly expressed his supporters to support Gao Hongan. Although Hsinchu City Speaker Xu Xiurui did not participate in the final campaign, he was also secretly supporting him. Blue Camp's local power is concentrated on Gao Hongan, and the "blue and white combination" has also become the key to Gao Hongan's victory this time.

The opposition party has successfully integrated and "de-democratic Progressive Party". The question that accompanies it is, will the blue and white battalions be integrated again in Taiwan two years later? At present, it seems that the two parties have no intention of cooperation, but they have already started arguing over whether to "blue and white match" or "white and blue match", which is who should be the dominant question. former Kuomintang representative of public opinion Cai Zhengyuan said that as long as the Democratic Progressive Party can be brought down, the Kuomintang can cooperate with the People's Party candidate, that is, Ko Wen-je, to run for the election. However, different voices within the Kuomintang believe that the Kuomintang currently has the resources of 13 counties and cities, and the People's Party only accounts for one of them, and there is no legitimate reason to give up its dominance. In addition, has not yet joined the Kuomintang and has recently become increasingly exposed, Terry Gou, which has become more and more popular recently, has also become one of the important variables in whether blue and white will cooperate and how to cooperate.

However, there may not be much time left for the Blue and White battalions to think. After all, "the civil war outsiders and foreign war insiders" have always been the tradition of the DPP. This time, the "nine-in-one" election, the DPP was defeated, and Tsai Ing-wen resigned. There seem to be many problems within the DPP that need to be solved, but in the face of the 2024 election, the green camp will likely quickly integrate and start preparing for a new round of "foreign war".
