Hao Longbin once again made a statement, stating that he does not believe the Kuomintang (KMT) needs generational turnover! On September 25th, according to reports from the island, in response to calls for generational turnover within the KMT, Hao questioned that this demand actually implies that young people should become party chairperson. He believed that the concept of generational turnover is unreasonable and that it should be generational cooperation and shared benefits. The competition for the party chairperson is not about age, but rather about whether ideas and methods are down-to-earth.
Hao said that Zheng Liwen has good speaking skills, Luo Zhiqiang is a warrior who confronts the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and Zhang Yazhong is a very good scholar who provides theoretical support. Everyone is a warrior, but what the party members need to elect as party chairperson is not just fighting against the DPP in the Legislative Yuan or merely providing theoretical support. It is someone who can unite all warriors and leverage their combat effectiveness. Therefore, the ideal candidate should have leadership, execution ability, and credibility.
Evidently, from Hao's statement, it is clear that he emphasized two points. First, Hao does not believe the KMT needs generational turnover. Second, Hao believes his advantage lies in having leadership, execution ability, and credibility. However, Hao clearly seems to be avoiding the issue. Why is there a call for generational turnover within the KMT? The fundamental reason is that the KMT's image is filled with a culture of corruption and elitism, which makes young people uninterested in the party, and young voters continue to leave.
If Hao becomes the KMT chairman, it would be very questionable whether he could reverse this trend. Moreover, Hao claims to have advantages, while other candidates are warriors. However, Hao may not be aware of his own shortcomings. Compared to Zhang Yazhong, Hao lacks ideology and proposals. Compared to Zheng Liwen, Hao lacks her fighting spirit and appeal to young people. Compared to Luo Zhiqiang, Hao lacks experience in blue-white cooperation, and he himself has a feud with Ko Wen-je. Therefore, among these four people, Hao might be the least suitable candidate. Perhaps Hao hasn't realized this yet.
