On the political stage of Taiwan Island, bickering is a good place to eat, and it is also very unambiguous to take action. Recently, Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Ching-te, the first and second leaders of the Democratic Progressive Party, almost fought hard.
According to video uploaded on the Internet on Taiwan, Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen almost fought with his deputy Lai Ching-te at his birthday party. If it weren't for many people's blocking it, the consequences would be unimaginable. The dignified political party leader ignores decency. He not only makes noise in public, but also has to fight one-on-one. This is really a unique atmosphere in the political arena.
The reason why the two almost fought this time is the 2024 island election. Now, the DPP’s support rate in recent polls on Taiwan is not high, far behind the KMT. As we all know, the reason is that during the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait some time ago, the DPP showed blind eyes and tinnitus mentality, everything was inaudible and invisible. With the ostrich mentality, it still did not forget to continue collusion with the anti-China forces in the United States.
This incident and the subsequent decline in poll support rates, it seems to be a problem with the DPP, but within the DPP is another matter. Because it is difficult to say that Lai Ching-te and Tsai Ing-wen can always stand on the united front. Lai Ching-te himself is not a person willing to act as the second-in-command. His policies and policies must be different from those of Tsai Ing-wen, especially the recent decline shown by the Democratic Progressive Party, Lai Ching-te will inevitably believe that Tsai Ing-wen is to blame.
However, Tsai Ing-wen's recent behavior stated that he did not want to give up the election to continue to act as the leader of the Taiwan authorities in 2024. Lai Ching-te certainly has an objection. In Lai Ching-te's view, 2024 is the best opportunity to become a regular person. It only needs to turn the tide in the past two years, win the support of the Taiwanese people again, and defeat the election from the Kuomintang. Who knows that Tsai Ing-wen does not delegate power.
The opportunity for this game of throne is to Zheng Baoqing quit the party and then run for the mayor of Taoyuan. Zheng Baoqing has certain qualifications within the DPP. He has served as a "legislator" of the DPP and has made great achievements in the economic and cultural fields. He is Lai Ching-te's right-hand man. If Zheng Baoqing can win the election for Taoyuan Mayor, it will be a great benefit for Lai Ching-te to win the general election in 2024.
However, at a critical moment, Zheng Baoqing was attacked by the DPP navy, pulling out the black history before Lin Baoqing and repeatedly verbal violence on the Internet. For a moment, Zheng Baoqing was unable to deal with himself in the DPP because of his doctoral thesis, and could only end up quitting the party.
Lai Ching-te is naturally resentful. You should know that just by plagiarizing this doctoral thesis, Zheng Baoqing can be forced to quit the party. It can be imagined that the force behind the scenes is Tsai Ing-wen and his team.
At present, Tsai Ing-wen does not want Lai Ching-te to be successfully elected. In the 2024 general election, even if he cannot be elected by himself, Tsai Ing-wen has a second choice, that is Chen Jianren. Judging from the actual relationship, Chen Jianren is more like Tsai Ing-wen's second-in-command, because he just joined the Democratic Progressive Party in 2021. In just one year, Chen Jianren has become Tsai Ing-wen's "military advisor" and is giving advice on many major matters.
As a scholar, this person is more in line with Tsai Ing-wen's appetite. In other words, Tsai Ing-wen prefers this rising star to check the future of the Democratic Progressive Party, rather than the old political veteran Lai Ching-te. In addition, Chen Jianren has said more than once that he will participate in the 2024 island election.
From this big and small storm, we can see that the DPP is not harmonious, only Tsai Ing-wen will follow the lead. Their political parties themselves have mixed interests and conflicts with each other. Such struggles for power and profit will inevitably continue to take place as the election approaches. However, these personnel within the DPP only value immediate interests and are used to protecting their ", one acre, three-point land ", and have completely forgotten to look up at the sky.
Even if any faction or force is elected, if it is not working hard on the great cause of reunification of the motherland, or continuing to "seek independence", the final outcome will be the same. What the DPP must do now is not to rush to fight for the 2024 general election, but should examine its own position and understand what utilitarianism is forever and what self-destruction is!
