Recently, the results of the island's Chiayi mayoral election were officially released. Kuomintang candidate Huang Minhui won 59,874 votes, beating DPP candidate Li Junli's 32,790 votes. With Huang Minhui's successful re-election, she will become the longest-serving mayor on the island.
Tsai Ing-wen is completely out of business?
According to the original plan, the Chiayi City election was supposed to be held during the "nine-in-one" election . However, due to the death of the city's non-party mayoral candidate Huang Shaocong, the election was postponed to today. On the day of the voting, due to various factors such as weather, only 43% of voters participated in the voting. However, Huang Minhui successfully won re-election with an absolute advantage. This is undoubtedly a huge bad news for the DPP.
As early as last month's "nine-in-one" election, the Democratic Progressive Party had already suffered a major defeat, and Huang Minhui's re-election means that the Kuomintang has won another city. A total of 22 county mayors were elected in this election, and 14 of them were members of the Kuomintang. The DPP only won 5 seats, and the other 3 seats were won by the People's Party and people without party membership.
As the election results came out one after another, the wind direction on the island changed drastically, and the voices criticizing Tsai Ing-wen became stronger. Faced with overwhelming criticism, Tsai Ing-wen announced her resignation from the party after the Democratic Progressive Party suffered a defeat. Some netizens are calling on the Kuomintang to "return to power," and some voices supporting the Kuomintang are resounding throughout Taiwan.
The DPP authorities should conduct self-reflection
Since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, the DPP authorities have continued to find ways to collude with external forces, trying to use external forces to play the "resistance to China and Taiwan" card. In addition, the DPP authorities also imitated the United States in exaggerating the so-called "mainland threat" in an attempt to manipulate public opinion. In fact, the reason why cross-Strait relations are so tense at the moment is because the DPP authorities have forgotten their ancestors and are bent on "seeking independence" against the historical trend.
In order to seek more political interests, the DPP authorities even did not hesitate to cede the interests of the Taiwanese people to the United States. Recently, the issue of TSMC going to the United States to set up a factory has attracted the attention of netizens on the island.
Previously, TSMC has successively transferred core equipment, staff, etc. to the United States, and TSMC’s factories in the United States have also held relocation ceremonies. On the same day, US President Biden and others also attended the ceremony in person, constantly claiming that TSMC's presence in the US market is crucial to the development of the US economy. Although the U.S. government keeps saying nice things, it cannot hide the true face of the U.S. government that wants to hollow out TSMC.
In response to the actions of the United States, the DPP authorities chose to ignore it, and even directly promoted TSMC to the United States. This approach of the DPP authorities completely ignores the interests of the Taiwanese people and will naturally arouse dissatisfaction among the people on the island. If Tsai Ing-wen still doesn't know how to reflect next, I'm afraid Tsai Ing-wen will have no chance to sing.
