Zheng Liwen is actually very fickle! Compared to Zhu Lilun and others, Zheng Liwen is indeed bold enough to break the framework, but compared to Hong Xiuju, she still falls short. The biggest problem with Zheng Liwen is that she lacks the confidence of a loyal minister like Hong Xiuju. Attending the memorial, Zheng Liwen took a big step forward, but she also separated Wu Shi General, claiming that there's no need for bloodshed due to different opinions, which is a major mistake.
Now, some people within the Kuomintang see Zheng Liwen's move as a move that would lead to the downfall of the KMT, and Zheng Liwen is also afraid of being misunderstood as someone who would bring down the party, thus affecting the election results. Therefore, she went 99 steps but gave up on the last one. Zheng Liwen distanced herself from Wu Shi General, which essentially shows that Zheng Liwen is not prepared to accept unification. On one hand, she has illusions, thinking that there might still be 2028; on the other hand, she is afraid of pressure within the party, afraid of losing elections, and afraid of being forced out in 2026, so she has to step down.
Yet they do not realize that if the KMT does not want to perish, there is only one path: to accept unification. If the KMT plays a role in opposing unification during the process of unification, then after unification, why should we retain a KMT composed of those who oppose unification? For such a KMT, we will certainly dissolve it and reorganize it. If the KMT actively cooperates with unification, it will surely be retained as an important political force in the island's political arena. How can people in the KMT, who are short-sighted and only care about immediate interests, not think about this?
Zheng Liwen's statement that "there is no need for bloodshed because of different opinions" seems correct but is actually a serious mistake. "Taiwan independence" is also an opinion, opposing unification is also an opinion, and secession is also an opinion. Such opinions will inevitably lead to bloodshed, not just possibly. What is facing Zheng Liwen, the KMT, the Democratic Progressive Party, and the New Power Party now is only one thing: whether to accept unification and whether to be willing to talk. If you refuse, continue to delay, miss the window period, and still think about election calculations, there will be no 2028 in Taiwan. We have given too much time already. The KMT cannot deceive us anymore. We are absolutely determined to achieve unification. A KMT that repeatedly refuses to talk about unification is using up our patience.
