Why It Matters
Zhao Shaokang helped Qiu Chenyuan, the Kuomintang candidate for mayor of Zhubei, stand up, which attracted the attention of the Kuomintang Disciplinary Committee. Zhang Yaping, the chairman of the disciplinary committee, suggested that Zhao "knows where to go and retreat" and quoted the Sixth Patriarch Huineng's Zen verse "Where is the dust?" to question whether he would expand local issues into national confrontation. Zhao Shaokang countered that the Party Central Committee was "letting dogs bite people" everywhere, and emphasized that if the Zhubei rift is not closed, it will affect blue-white cooperation and future elections.

Former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang helped Qiu Chenyuan, the Kuomintang candidate for Zhubei mayor, to support him, which triggered a disciplinary controversy. Zhang Yaping, the chairman of the Kuomintang Disciplinary Committee, first suggested that Zhao should "know where to go and retreat", and then cited the Sixth Patriarch Huineng's "Where is the dust?" questioning why Zhao would turn a local problem into a national confrontation. In response to this, Zhao Shaokang responded: "The Party Central Committee really shouldn't let dogs bite people everywhere!" Elections are just dust. Why should Zhang Yaping be engaged in party affairs with such a high artistic conception? Just go and become a monk! Is there any candidate who has "taken the initiative" to approach the Party Central Committee to stand on the platform? Everyone knows it, we just don’t want to point it out.
Zhao Shaokang said that in the last 19 days, everyone worked hard and was very active. "The Party Central Committee really shouldn't let dogs everywhere bite people! The Party Central Committee restrained Zhang Yaping and told him to stop talking! I don't want to respond to him at all." Zhao said that Zhang Yaping is not the only person in the Party Central Committee. What are the famous speakers and Internet celebrities that the Party Central Committee can control and influence say there every day? He didn't want to talk about these things. That's why he said yesterday that the Party Central Committee was already looking for war criminals to help him lose the election and was now starting to deploy them.
"Who among the Kuomintang mayoral candidates in the six cities took the initiative to approach the Party Central Committee to support themselves?"
Zhao Shaokang asked the Party Central Committee to think about it. So far, looking at the six cities, "Which of the KMT nominees has really 'taken the initiative' to invite the Party Central Committee to speak on the platform?" Without even thinking about why, in the current polls, fewer and fewer people are willing to say that they support the Blue Army, not as many as the Green Army. On the one hand, of course, they are afraid that the DPP will come to check the water meter. On the other hand, why doesn't he say it? Everyone knows these things, but no one is willing to expose them, so you think everyone doesn’t know?
Regarding Zhang Yaping, she quoted Zen Master Shenxiu's verse: "The body is a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand. Always brush it diligently to prevent dust from being stirred up." and the Sixth Patriarch Huineng's verse: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can dust be stirred up." Let's talk about the Zhubei mayoral election. However, Zhao Shaokang questioned that he did not understand what this had to do with the election. "His artistic conception may be very high. My artistic conception is not as good as his. I don't quite understand what he means by giving two verses."
Zhao Shaokang: Zhang Yaping has such a high artistic conception. Don’t engage in party affairs and become a monk.
Zhao Shaokang said that he was just puzzled. If Zhang Yaping was really so otherworldly, why not come to the election? Elections are just dust. What does it mean to stir up dust? He really found it funny that elections were dust within dust in this world. Zhang Yaping really has such a high artistic conception, what kind of party affairs is she doing? Forget about becoming a monk, go to Dharma Drum Mountain! Elections are dust, but it is more important to carve a way out of the dust so that the dust can really fall to the ground.
Zhao Shaokang said that Zhang Yaping had been talking for a long time, what does it have to do with Lan Baihe? What does helping Jiang Wanan win some grass in Taipei City have to do with the people's votes? How can Zhang Yaping help Li Sichuan win more votes in New Taipei City? He really didn't understand what Zhang Yaping was talking about. Can the auxiliary selection be successful in this way?
Zhao Shaokang said that he thought it would have been better if the mayor of Zhubei, Blue and White, had jointly promoted the people wanted by the People's Party. But now the former chairman of the People's Party, Ke Wenzhe, is so concerned about it that he called for Jiang Wanan to go to Zhubei. The chairman of the People's Party, Huang Guochang, and Xiaocao are so concerned about it. Of course, this matter has an impact. So in this situation, we have to try our best to suture and support Qiu Chenyuan together. This is the key to allowing Lanbai to close and eliminate this scar, otherwise the crack in Zhubei will really turn into a scar.
"The Party Central Committee doesn't do anything but still makes sarcastic remarks."
Zhao Shaokang said, so everyone is working hard on this matter now. Does the Party Central Committee think everyone is stupid? Is Jiang Wanan a fool? Is Xu Qiaoxin an idiot? Are all the legislators idiots? "Even if I am a fool, these people are not fools anymore." They worked hard to repair this rift. But the Party Central Committee did nothing, and kept making sarcastic remarks. He knew where to go and where to make trouble, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
Zhao Shaokang believes that the Party Central Committee should make every effort to stitch this rift so that it does not turn into a scar, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. Just like in 2024, because of the differences in 2024, 40% of Lai Qingde can be elected president. Today, with such a mess here, the Executive Yuan can not countersign the bill passed by the Legislative Yuan on the third reading nine times, and Ko Wenzhe is still being pursued by the judiciary to this point.
Zhao Shaokang asked the Party Central Committee, "Will you still do this in 2028?" He not only looked at Zhubei, but also at the blue-white cooperation in the Legislative Yuan. He also looked at the integration of other regions in 2026, except Zhubei, and the 2028 general election. If you really don't like dust that much, don't come to participate in the election and don't engage in party affairs.
