Qiu Chenyuan, a big figure in the Blue Camp’s cross-party platform, has different feelings about party discipline! Huang Guochang and Ke Wenzhe said this

Huang Guochang: Do not comment excessively on internal matters of the Kuomintang and respect them completely

  • Zhang Yaping, the chairman of the Kuomintang's disciplinary committee, hinted that Zhao should "know where to advance and retreat." Party chairman Cheng Li-wen said there were no restrictions.
  • When interviewed on the 12th, People’s Party Chairman Huang Guochang and Party Founding Chairman Ko Wenzhe said they would not overly comment on the KMT’s “household affairs.” However, Ko Wenzhe bluntly said that the grassroots level of Hsinchu Blue Camp was “a complete mess.”

Why It Matters

During the Zhubei mayoral election, support from cross-party politicians led to different handling methods within the Kuomintang. The chairman of the disciplinary committee suggested that Zhao Shaokang "knows where to go and retreat", while party chairman Zheng Liwen said there were no restrictions.

Former China Broadcasting Company Chairman Zhao Shaokang personally went to Zhubei City, Hsinchu County on the 8th to support the People’s Party’s Zhubei mayor candidate Qiu Chenyuan. During the same campaign, the Kuomintang Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan also expressed support through a video. In response, the Kuomintang’s Disciplinary Committee chairperson Zhang Yaping hinted on Facebook that Zhao should “know where to go and retreat”, while party chairman Zheng Liwen said to Qiu Qiu that “there are no restrictions.” In this regard, People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang and party founding chairman Ke Wenzhe were interviewed together today (12th), saying that they would not overly comment on the "household affairs" of the Kuomintang. However, Ke changed the topic and bluntly said that he had been walking around Hsinchu in the past few days and found that the grassroots level of the Blue Camp was "completely messed up."

In response to the KMT Central Committee's different handling of cross-party platforms, Huang Guochang said that his consistent attitude towards matters within the KMT has been to "not overly comment and fully respect them." After all, this is a domestic matter of the Kuomintang, and it is up to the relevant people of the Kuomintang to explain to the outside world that they have no way to overstep their authority.

However, Huang Guochang also took this opportunity to express his gratitude to Chairman Zhao Shaokang, Mayor Jiang Wanan, and many good partners who have worked together in the Legislative Yuan in the past for being able to cross party lines and fully support Qiu Chenyuan, the best Zhubei mayor candidate. Huang Guochang said that he firmly believed that more and more people would stand up bravely and support the forces of integrity and kindness in the future, and once again called on voters to fully support No. 3 Qiu Chenyuan.

Ke Wenzhe, who answered the call later, laughed and said that, as Chairman Huang Guochang said, it was inconvenient for them to comment much on the KMT's domestic affairs. But he changed the topic and bluntly said that when he visited the Hsinchu area in the past few days, he found that the grassroots level of Lanying was indeed in a lot of chaos. "We also support Qiu Chenyuan. Some of them are dealt with, some are not dealt with, and the whole thing is in chaos."

Ke Wenzhe emphasized that for the People's Party, the most important thing is to act steadily and do a good job, and he will not comment much on the turmoil within the Kuomintang.

Praising Luo Dayou for "inspiring the deaf and enlightening" provoked controversy. Jiang Wanan: At that time, it was aimed at Lai Qingde and Zhuo Rongtai.
