Former China Broadcasting Company Chairman Zhao Shaokang recently helped Qiu Chenyuan, the Kuomintang candidate for Zhubei mayor, to stand up, raising concerns about violations of discipline inspections. Zhang Yaping, the chairman of the Kuomintang Discipline Inspection Committee, hinted on Facebook that Zhao should "know where to go and what to do." Kuomintang Chairman Zheng Liwen responded to this in an interview with Shi Ge today: "All our party members should know what to do." Zhao Shaokang will also personally respond to Zheng Liwen this afternoon.

Zheng Liwen said that she usually does not look at Facebook, nor does she look at Zhang Yaping's Facebook. She does not know what Zhang wrote, "But I think he was inspired to express it!" The chairman of the disciplinary committee must make some speeches that are consistent with his own identity and position. That is a basic attitude, because Zhang has to deal with too many cases in the past few months. During the election process, many various cases occurred. Of course, the chairman of the Disciplinary Examination Commission was inspired by this.

Cheng Lai-man said that she hoped that comrades in the same party would be careful and measured when the countdown to the election is particularly sensitive. "I think he was a kind reminder not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Otherwise, other constituencies and candidates will think, why can he do this and I can't? There will be some interlocking effects, so everyone must be careful.

Zheng Liwen said that the Kuomintang will let the local party headquarters specifically judge the real situation on a case-by-case basis. They have a yardstick in mind. It also depends on whether there are many party members who report the case. The local party headquarters will handle it appropriately according to the situation of the case. The Central Party Headquarters will wait until the local Party Headquarters have handled the matter and they feel it is necessary to send it to the Central Committee, and then the Central Party Headquarters will handle it.

Brother Shi said that now Zhubei is being used to make a fuss. Some people think that the chairman has not made up his mind to eliminate some troublemakers, but others think that this is the mentality of the big party. The boss thinks he wants to kill everyone in Zhubei. Zheng Liwen emphasized that there is nothing to kill! Everyone has their own preferences and support.

Zheng Liwen said that in the blue and white part, she has said many times that we must be responsible to our own party members and all voters, so there must be a mechanism acceptable to everyone to deal with it. If such a mechanism cannot be successfully completed and produced during the negotiation process, then we hope that brothers will climb mountains and work together individually. Therefore, there are also candidates from the People's Party in Hualien City, and for members of parliament, they will also climb mountains together as brothers and work together individually.

Cheng Lai-wen said that only one candidate can be elected in a single constituency, so the competitiveness will be different from that of a multi-seat constituency. Since we were unable to smoothly have a mechanism acceptable to everyone during the negotiation between the two parties to decide how to jointly recommend a candidate, in the end everyone would work on their own according to the electoral method.

Zheng Liwen said that from the standpoint of the Kuomintang, we have always opened the door and taken the high road, and we must be able to explain ourselves to the party and society. Since Wu Xuzhi is a candidate selected through the legitimate primary election mechanism of the Kuomintang, as a member of the Kuomintang, of course we have unreserved and full support, hoping that he can take back the Zhubei City Government from the hands of the DPP. "He is a very good candidate. For me, isn't it natural to fully support Wu Xuzhi?"

Zheng Liwen said, but as the Hsinchu party headquarters said, "We will not regard the candidates of the People's Party as our main enemies and opponents. We have never been like this." That's why she said that the brothers will work hard to maximize his votes. The Kuomintang will not restrict it in the first place, "so Wan An will not be subject to this restriction."

Zheng Liwen emphasized that the Kuomintang is very clear that "our opponent is from the Democratic Progressive Party, especially because the current incumbent in Zhubei City is from the Democratic Progressive Party." So of course we hope to have political party rotation, which is no problem.
