Nan City Councilor Lin Yanzhu held a "teaching war" on the spot, asking everyone to tell the outside world that "Tainan's Democratic Progressive Party has split" because Lai Qingde is currently not available to support Chen Tingfei on the platform.

The Chinese Kuomintang's regular action meeting moved to Tainan today (30th). "Turn Tainan over, the people will win once," chants were shouted at the scene. Party Chairman Cheng Lai-wen led members of the Central Standing Committee to build momentum for Tainan mayor candidate Hsieh Long-chieh. They also "teached the battle" on the spot and revealed Tainan's campaign operation strategy. They used "whether Lai Qingde will fully support the election of Chen Tingfei" as an offensive and defensive entry point, focusing on the "green camp split" discussion.

Lin Yanzhu said that from the time she entered the parliamentary election, Xie Longjie was like her mentor, adhering to the spirit of "no fleas on the body" in the election. It is the greatest commitment and honor to always carry the loyalty and loyalty under the banner of the Kuomintang.

Lin Yanzhu criticized that under the Democratic Progressive Party, Tainan was "filled with photovoltaic panels and slag." Therefore, the incorruptible Xie Longjie should be elected and "give him four years" to expose corruption and malpractice in the Tainan City Government of the Democratic Progressive Party.

Lin Yanzhu said that his opponents all said that Xie Longjie would lose the election, but Xie Longjie shouted in the past, "I will supervise you for the rest of my life." No matter what position he held, he would supervise Lai Qingde. Therefore, everyone should tell the outside world that "Tainan's Democratic Progressive Party has split." Because Lai Qingde is currently not fully supporting Chen Tingfei, he calls on Tainan citizens to support Xie Longjie and "turn around Tainan, and the people will win for once."

Cheng Li-wen, who then gave a speech, added that Tainan was originally regarded as Lai Qingde's preferred candidate, Lin Junxian, but it was Chen Tingfei who finally ran on behalf of the Democratic Progressive Party. Therefore, the Democratic Progressive Party is also facing a split in Tainan. She shouted that Tainan people should seize the opportunity for change and "comprehensively restore Tainan." The united Kuomintang will challenge the fragmented Democratic Progressive Party, and called for support for Hsieh Long-chieh to turn Southern Taiwan upside down.

Gao Sibo, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, said that Xie Longjie is "first-rate in eloquence and also has inner talent." The two of them once studied the policy of "replacing children with children" at a think tank. He pointed out that Tainan has more than 17,000 deaths and about 7,000 births every year, with a gap of 10,000 between life and death. Hsieh hopes to slow down the trend of population decline and make policy plans based on Tainan's development in the next 10 years or even a century.

Open Questions

  • Will Lai Qingde publicly support Concubine Chen Ting?
  • Is the DPP's election results in Tainan really affected by the split?
