Former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang recently supported Qiu Chenyuan, candidate for mayor of Zhubei, Hsinchu County, of the People's Party, and said he did not care about being expelled from the party. Zhao emphasized yesterday that the Kuomintang is already preparing to find war criminals.

In this regard, Ye Yaoyuan, chair professor of international studies at the University of St. Thomas in the United States, said that in terms of the overall situation, the Kuomintang has recently intensified its efforts to undermine Taiwan's national security and government operations, which in turn has caused the middle voters to become disgusted with the blue camp. Therefore, "the politicians in the blue camp are all war criminals."
Ye Yaoyuan posted an article on the Facebook fan page "Professor Ye's School of International Affairs" today and pointed out that in fact, all the original poll data and the results of the party's coordinated candidates pointed out that the KMT cannot be as good as in 2022.
Ye Yaoyuan believes that it is not difficult to find war criminals. The overall situation is that the Kuomintang has intensified its efforts to undermine Taiwan's national security and government operations after its failure in the 2025 general recall, which has led to more middle-of-the-road voters having a strong dislike for the Kuomintang. "This is the general direction, so the politicians of the Kuomintang are all war criminals."
Ye Yaoyuan said bluntly, "As for individual candidates losing in constituencies that are basically unlikely to lose, I think they can only blame themselves. The voters gave you four years if you didn't do a good job, and it was just okay if you didn't win re-election."

Du Shengcong, a communication scholar at Mingchuan University, believes that after the Republican Party was defeated in the U.S. midterm elections, Trump used the tactics of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" to investigate the Democratic Party and support Huida CEO Huang Renxun in an attempt to defend his technology and China policy network. The case of Jen-Hsun Huang ties corruption to national security issues. The investigation of the FBI and Huida’s board of directors, whether Huang Jen-Hsun will accompany Shenzhen APEC, chip export negotiations, the Ministry of Justice’s filing of a case against the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party’s national security stance are all worth observing. For Taiwan, the US-China chip policy and the schedule of US$14 billion in arms sales may be affected, and the final outcome depends on the separation of powers in the United States.

Experts from the German Marshall Fund, a think tank in Washington, issued a paper arguing that the Trump administration's delay in selling approximately US$14 billion in weapons to Taiwan will bring four costs, including delaying the construction of Taiwan's air defense network, intensifying the political struggle over Taiwan's defense budget, strengthening Beijing's delaying tactics, and weakening the confidence of allies such as Japan and South Korea in U.S. commitments. They called on Washington to quickly resume the arms sales notification process to Taiwan and the regular congressional notification mechanism.
