President Lai Ching-te, who is also the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, admitted today when he attended the "DPP 40 Founding Party and Party Founding Members Dinner" that the current ruling situation is severe. The CCP continues to attack and intimidate through threats, and the Congress is still in disputes due to the lack of more than half of the seats. Many difficulties have arisen in governance, which has also made it difficult for Taiwan. Show the international community our determination to never compromise and unite in the face of the CCP, but we will never give up. "Our generation has no conditions or qualifications to give up." The courage shown by the party's predecessors and the people of Taiwan inspires us to continue to unite to uphold sovereignty and defend democracy.
Lai Ching-te first paid tribute to former party chairmen and party founders such as You Xikun, Hsieh Chang-ting, and Yao Jiawen, and pointed out that Taiwan's democracy has gone through a hundred years of pursuit. The predecessors not only sweated, but also shed blood and tears, sacrificing their lives and family happiness, and arduously reached the stage of founding the party. One step; it is precisely because of the long-term hard work of everyone that Taiwan has been able to undergo three political party changes and truly become the first and only democratic country in the Chinese character cultural circle. Defending national sovereignty and consolidating hard-won democracy is the DPP’s unchanging mission.

Lai Qingde said frankly that the current objective environment faced by those in power is full of challenges and severe situations. The Chinese Communist Party continues to launch military threats internationally and around the Taiwan Strait, launches a united front, and attempts to infiltrate and subvert Taiwan through multiple channels. The Legislative Yuan is also in constant disputes due to the lack of seats, and there are many unnecessary difficulties in governance. It is even more difficult for Taiwan to show the international community its determination to never compromise and to be united in the face of the CCP, but we will never give up. "Our generation has no conditions or qualifications to give up." The courage shown by the party's predecessors and the people of Taiwan inspires us to continue to unite to uphold sovereignty and defend democracy.
Regarding the layout of the general election at the end of the year, Lai Ching-te said that one of his tasks after taking over as party chairman is to cultivate young people and discover young professionals, courageous and have a sense of mission for Taiwan regardless of party affiliation. The average age of the proposed candidates is 6 years younger than the KMT and six years younger than the KMT. The new year is 12 years old. It not only continues the spirit of Formosa, but also nominates 7 lawyers in Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Miaoli, Yilan, Jiaxian, and Pingtung. It also nominates 9 women for election to show female power, and recruits lawyers Lin Guozhang, dentist Wen Shizheng and other talents to return to their hometowns to take on important responsibilities.
Lai Ching-te said that the previous generation worked hard for democracy and founded the party, but this generation must do their best to cultivate young people. "Sweet potatoes are not afraid of rotting in the soil." He will inherit and continue the recognition that the DPP has won in Taiwanese society for 40 years, step by step, do a good job in various government affairs, continue to win the trust and support of the Taiwanese people, and make the DPP's brand of "defending Taiwan's first brand of democracy" last forever and continue to be outstanding.
