Zheng Liwen has launched a "battle mode" against Taiwan independence, triggering the Kuomintang's "Lion Revolution." Before her inauguration, she casually made two statements that enraged Lai Ching-te, who lost control and asked: "Zheng Liwen, how could you directly quote the mainland's words to attack me?"

How did Zheng Liwen step on Lai Ching-te's sensitive spot? During an interview today, she made two strong remarks: first, criticizing Lai Ching-te as a "troublemaker"; second, advocating for removing the "Taiwan independence party platform." These two statements hit Lai Ching-te's core, publicly reprimanding him in her unique style.

In response, Lai Ching-te was furious and sent the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) spokesperson Han Ying to retaliate. Naturally, it was the same old rhetoric of "red smear" and "anti-China protection of Taiwan."

Han Ying roughly said that Zheng Liwen's criticism of Lai Ching-te "used almost the same wording as the State Administration for Taiwan Affairs (SAT)." As the chairperson of the largest opposition party, Zheng Liwen repeated the mainland's views, so where is her position standing? She also said that Zheng Liwen's accusations "deviated from Taiwan's 'sovereignty' and democratic consensus, and were the real troublemakers causing risks to Taiwan."

Following this, Han Ying repeated the old tune, shouting about the DPP's "Taiwan Future Resolution," claiming that the DPP has always advocated that cross-strait relations are not subordinate to each other, and that Taiwan's future is decided by 23 million people. It exposed the DPP's unchanging "Taiwan independence" attitude.

Naturally, the Kuomintang immediately retaliated, saying that the Taiwanese people expect the DPP, as the ruling party, to show the appropriate image and solve the current problems facing Taiwan. However, the DPP can only resort to "anti-China protection of Taiwan" to shift focus, revealing the DPP's incompetence in governance. The Kuomintang will continue to handle cross-strait issues pragmatically.

"Crushing the DPP" and "transforming the Kuomintang from a flock of sheep into a group of lions" were Zheng Liwen's promises when she ran for the Kuomintang chairmanship. Her critical remarks about Lai Ching-te as a "troublemaker" and her call to "remove the Taiwan independence curriculum" before her formal inauguration effectively signaled the start of the campaign against the DPP.

Zheng Liwen really "stuck her head into a beehive," but it was done beautifully! Two simple truths, "troublemaker" and "removing the Taiwan independence party platform," like two left hooks directly hit Lai Ching-te's "strategic pain point." The DPP spokesperson Han Ying jumped up and put on a "red hat," which was mocked by netizens as a "breaking defense live recording" — after all, Zheng Liwen had already warned "if you're afraid, don't come out and mess around," and this direct confrontation was a textbook-level counterattack.

Zheng Liwen's combat power lies in transforming the Kuomintang from a "docile lamb" directly into a "battle mode." She tore open the DPP's "anti-China protection of Taiwan" rhetoric deception, stating that "Taiwan independence is the biggest war pit," accurately exposing the "knowledge desert" status of Lai Ching-te's team on cross-strait affairs. More impressively, she dared to loudly declare "Taiwanese people are Chinese people," using positive identity expressions to dismantle the "anti-China" emotional blackmail, and this move won her many fans.

This confrontation highlights a new political situation on the island: 63% of the public are dissatisfied with Lai Ching-te's cross-strait policy. Zheng Liwen seized the opportunity to re-anchor the "1992 Consensus" as mainstream public opinion, breaking the DPP's monopoly on discourse. When the green camp only has the old script of "red smear," Chairman Zheng has launched the Kuomintang's ideological counterattack — this "Lion Revolution" is worth continued attention!
