Zhao Shaokang supports Qiu Chenyuan from the platform! Says he has long advocated blue-white co-operation and criticizes the Kuomintang for "eating everything"

Senior media person Zhao Shaokang attended a large-scale campaign event for Qiu Chenyuan, candidate for Zhubei mayor of Hsinchu County, this evening (8th). Zhao Shaokang said in his speech that the KMT, as a major party, seems to have a mentality of "eating everything and wiping out everything", and even has reservations about recommending candidates jointly by Blue and White. He emphasized that the KMT must take a long-term view and consider it comprehensively. It must not "lose the big for the small" and lose other parts of Taiwan for the sake of Zhubei City. "Do you think it is worth it?"

In response to outside discussions about whether he would be subject to party discipline by the Kuomintang, Zhao Shaokang showed a tough attitude and said bluntly, "Fire me out! I don't care." He also emphasized that he only asks what is right and wrong, and supporting Qiu Chenyuan in Zhubei is the right choice.

Zhao Shaokang said that with the electoral situation today, Zhubei is no longer just a local election issue, but an important indicator with symbolic significance for the whole of Taiwan and the country, and a representative of the great significance of the implementation of "Blue and White Cooperation". He pointed out that the Kuomintang Party has 8 key legislators in the Legislative Yuan. Wherever the blue and white forces join forces, they can win the majority. In the next two years, they will also need to continue to cooperate in the Legislative Yuan. Therefore, the Kuomintang must take a long-term view and consider it comprehensively. It must not "lose a big deal for a small gain" and lose other parts of Taiwan for the sake of Zhubei City. "Do you think it is worth it?"

Talking about the party's original nomination strategy, Zhao Shaokang said frankly that at that time, seeing the strong momentum in counties and cities such as New Taipei City and Taipei City, the KMT, as a major party, seemed to have a mentality of "eating everything" and even had reservations about nominating candidates jointly by Blue and White. He emphasized that he had publicly advocated on many occasions that the Kuomintang and the People's Party should jointly push Qiu Chenyuan, which was the best approach to take the overall situation into consideration.

Zhao Shaokang further criticized the DPP government, saying bluntly that if Blue and White do not agree, Ke Wenzhe and the opposition camp will be pursued separately by the DPP. For example, he gave an example of the Elderly Welfare Bill passed by Blue and White in the Legislative Yuan a few days ago, but the Executive Yuan actually threatened not to sign it, not caring at all about the rights and interests of the 4.8 million 65-year-olds in Taiwan and the 2.34 million young people who need to pay health insurance premiums. He questioned that if the national defense budget can allocate 1 trillion, can't 60 billion be used to subsidize the health insurance fund? The DPP only cares about political pursuits, which further highlights the urgency of uniting the opposition and removing the DPP.

Finally, Zhao Shaokang shouted the hope that Hsinchu will usher in a comprehensive victory, including the election of Qiu Chenyuan of Zhubei City, the election of Gao Hong'an of Hsinchu City, and the election of Xu Xinying of Hsinchu County. This will be a happy situation for everyone. He praised Zhubei citizens as the most educated and intelligent people in Taiwan, and called on everyone to sprint all out in the last 20 days of the election campaign and enthusiastically support Qiu Chenyuan. On November 28, Qiu Chenyuan was successfully elected as the mayor of Zhubei, Hsinchu County, writing a key page for Blue-White cooperation and Taiwan's democracy.
