Why It Matters

Senior media person Zhao Shaokang caused dissatisfaction among some members of the Kuomintang due to his exclusive interview with Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party.

Font size

On the 14th, Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, accepted an exclusive interview with former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang for the second time.

Veteran media man Zhao Shaokang's second exclusive interview with Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang aroused dissatisfaction within the Kuomintang. It is said that members of the Central Committee jointly signed a petition to expel Zhao Shaokang from the party. In this regard, senior media person Huang Weihan criticized, and was shocked when he heard it. He thought he was joking. Is this a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang? Or a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party?

Huang Weihan posted on Facebook that a member of the Kuomintang Central Committee proposed to expel Zhao Shaokang on the grounds that he visited "Taiwan independence die-hards, Shen Boyang." Let him criticize, wait, this is a member of the Kuomintang Central Committee? Or a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party? When you met Xiao Meiqin, did you call her "Vice President"? Or "Taiwan independence die-hards"?

Huang Weihan said, not to mention how common it is for media hosts to interview politicians from different political parties, but this Central Committee member actually only allows "party members to agree with each other and oppose those who are different"? Taking a step back, what if the result of Zhao Shaokang's visit to Shen Boyang was "stuttering, memorizing words and forgetting manuscripts, being in a hurry, and being full of ugliness"? Then does this member of the Central Committee still feel that "it is inappropriate to visit Shen Boyang?"

Open Questions

  • Will the Kuomintang Central Committee formally punish Zhao Shaokang?
