Former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang supported the People’s Party’s candidate for Zhubei mayor Qiu Chenyuan, triggering discussions within the party about Blue and White cooperation and party disciplinary sanctions.
Former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang stood up for Qiu Chenyuan, candidate for mayor of Zhubei, Hsinchu County, last night. Zhao Shaokang emphasized today that if the Party Central Committee feels that it is wrong for him to promote the blue-white alliance at this time, if the Party Central Committee says a word, he will immediately know where to go, make a decision on himself, and quit the Kuomintang immediately. The outside world is paying attention to whether the Kuomintang Central Committee has issued military orders. Regarding this, Kuomintang legislator Lai Shibao also spoke for Zhao Shaokang. He said that Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and more than 10 Kuomintang legislators also videotaped their cheers for Qiu Chenyuan and did not think there would be any party discipline issues.
When Zhao Shaokang delivered a speech for Qiu Chenyuan on the platform, he bluntly said that he did not care about being expelled from the party, saying that the Kuomintang should not "eat everything" so as not to lose big for small things. The Hsinchu County Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang stated that "Blue and White are brothers" and will not take any action. Zhang Yaping, chairman of the Kuomintang Discipline Examination Committee, said that as a party member, you should think about whether it will affect the election of candidates from the same party; if you have no intention of shouldering the obligations of a party member, you should know where to go.
Lai Shibao pointed out that all votes are needed in the election, "You want his vote, and you want Ke Wenzhe to come to the same stage. Ke Wenzhe also wants you to go to Qiu Chenyuan's place. If you only come to others and don't go yourself, it doesn't make sense. The principle of life, no one is like this, it must be reciprocity."
Lai Shibao said that you can't ask for other people's votes and not cheer for them at the same time. Jiang Wanan and the legislators were not present. Based on the comradeship in the past, they gave cheers and blessings. It was normal to shout cheers. Friends in blue and white cheered. Chen Jianxian also went to help Qiu Chenyuan on the platform. The Party Central Committee also said that they are friends. Party discipline is not monolithic. "Now we are really nervous and we really need free votes."
Lai Shibao believes that the election situation for some Kuomintang county mayor candidates is really tense. The important reason is that the Kuomintang does not vote. How to make Baiying willing to vote? This is much more important than party discipline. Do you want to say that you would rather lose than have party discipline? "With the combination of blue and white, the Kuomintang can take over Hsinchu County and give up Zhubei to Qiu Chenyuan. Why not? Why must we eat it? Destroy the combination of blue and white and let there be knots here."
Lai Shibao also said that Jiang Wanan now needs Xiaocao's votes. No matter how poor Xiaocao's votes are, they still only have 5% or 6%. If they all vote for Jiang Wanan, they will definitely pass, so it is very crucial. If the grassroots in each county and city can firmly unite with Blue and White, it will be helpful to the candidates for mayor of each county.
Lai Shibao said that the KMT legislators saw this and looked at the overall situation from a macro perspective. More than 10 legislators videotaped their support for Qiu Chenyuan. He also said that if the Kuomintang candidate for Zhubei mayor Wu Xuzhi is strong, "I don't think he will lose because of the support of Jiang Wanan and the legislators."
Zhao Shaokang said today that if doing so violates party discipline, the Kuomintang Central Committee can fire him. They don't want to get their hands dirty now and want him to know where to go and to commit suicide. If the Party Central Committee feels that it is wrong for him to wish to promote the blue-white alliance at this time, and if he voluntarily quits the party at this time, it will help the election of Jiang Wanan, Li Sichuan, Ke Zhien, Xu Xinying and others. "If the Party Central Committee says a word, I will immediately know where to go, make a decision on myself, and quit the Kuomintang immediately. I also wish the Kuomintang to be able to dominate the world forever."
Zhao Shaokang emphasized that he looked at the big and not the small. The individual was not important, but the overall situation was more important. In 2026, if blue and white don't match, you can't win. Only when blue and white match, you can win. The Kuomintang must think far and big, and cannot think small and be short-sighted. This is not allowed. When he helped Qiu Chenyuan stand on the platform, he shouted, "Support Blue and White and get rid of the DPP." This is the most important goal of Blue and White and the direction that everyone should work together.
