With the nine-in-one general election approaching at the end of the year, the race for mayor of Taipei has heated up rapidly in recent days. Jiang Wanan’s campaign office announced on the 2nd that five KMT legislators from Beijing, Wang Hongwei, Li Yanxiu, Luo Zhiqiang, Xu Qiaoxin and Lai Shibao, had officially joined the campaign speech team, and the personnel layout was set to prepare for "General Recall 2.0". In this regard, media person Wu Jingyi said that she was found guilty by the court of stealing personal information and copying rosters! Even Xie Guoliang bowed and apologized. Before the KMT launches "Great Recall 2.0", shouldn't it first apologize to all of Taiwan?
Wu Jingyi stated in a Facebook PO post that while Taipei City’s Chiang Wanan was being pursued by Shen Boyang, the Kuomintang began to reignite the high-conflict battlefield of “Great Recall 2.0.” Chiang Wanan’s bid officially invited five blue committee members, Wang Hongwei, Li Yanxiu, Luo Zhiqiang, Xu Qiaoxin, and Lai Shibao, to join the speaking team, making it clear that they would “fight against Great Recall 2.0.”

Wu Jingyi pointed out that this may be a kind of mobilization of Taipei City's basic base for Jiang Wanan, but the question is, if the Kuomintang burns this fire all the way to the main focus of the national election campaign, will Li Sichuan really benefit from it? According to the September poll in New Taipei City, up to 60% of the respondents who were not biased towards any political party still had no clear opinion on the candidate for mayor; and about a quarter of the respondents in New Taipei City considered themselves to be median voters. In other words, what New Taipei City really has to fight for is not the dark blue and dark green people who have already returned to the group, but this group of people who are still observing "who looks more like a mayor."
Wu Jingyi continued to point out that if the Kuomintang, in order to defend Chiang Wanan, brings the two northern states back to the political battlefield of "Blue Bird, Boycott, Hatred, Expedition, and General Recall 2.0", the biggest strategic risk is that the anger of the basic base that Taipei wants to arouse may become political noise that the central voters of New Taipei do not want to get close to. What's more, is it really suitable for the Kuomintang to only talk about half of the three words "big recall"? It is impossible for everyone to collectively forget the ghost judicial record of joint signatures left by "strike"!
Wu Jingyi added that the Taichung District Court ruled in March this year that all 34 defendants of the Kuomintang Taichung City Party Headquarters confessed to crimes during the preparatory procedures, which involved copying a large number of party member rosters and forging the information and signatures of recall proposers. A total of 4,258 rosters were forged, and 34 people were sentenced. This is no longer a scolding between political parties, but the criminal facts confirmed by the court's judgment. The Kuomintang publicly questioned the judgment as a "heavy sentence for a small case" and a "political judgment." This is also the official position of the party. "Jiang Qichen, do you want to come out and apologize? Your party workers in Taichung admit to committing crimes!"
Wu Jingyi analyzed that after Zhang Yuanxiang, the former director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Xie Guoliang City Government, was found to be suspected of using the user administration system to inquire about personal information to assist in his removal, even Xie Guoliang publicly bowed before the city council, admitted that the municipal government's supervision was inadequate, apologized to the citizens for the improper use of personal information by the household administration staff, and said that such behavior was "very inappropriate." If even Xie Guoliang knew that he had to apologize, what about the Kuomintang Central Committee?
Wu Jingyi emphasized that the Kuomintang can of course criticize the general recall, and can also test the past political actions of Shen Boyang, Cao Xingcheng, and the recall group; but when the Kuomintang itself takes the initiative to put "General Recall 2.0" back on the table for the 2026 election, there is no reason to only pick out the half of history that is beneficial to it. If you want to talk about the general recall, let's talk about it together. If you want to talk about democratic responsibility, please use the same ruler! Don't be shameless! If it wants to ask Shen Boyang to be tested for his past political actions, the Kuomintang should also answer: "Who bears the party political responsibility for those cases of copying rosters, forging joint signatures, and illegally using personal information?"
Wu Jingyi bluntly said that the Kuomintang's attempt to use "General Recall 2.0" to defend Chiang Wanan was a ridiculous tactic! Some people have pleaded guilty to stealing personal information and copying rosters, and some have been sentenced by courts. Even Xie Guoliang has bowed. Has the Kuomintang ever said the apology it owes Taiwanese society?
