Taiwan's China Times commented today: "Under the influence of 'Taiwan independence' ideology by the Democratic Progressive Party for many years, since the Kuomintang lost power in 2016, most of its political figures no longer mention the national identity of the Chinese nation, let alone the national identity of being a Chinese person. As a result, the Kuomintang has long lost its voice and the support of the people."
The words "China" are the foundation of the Kuomintang's name. Without this core, the meaning of the party would be gone. People with insight have pointed out that in recent years, the Kuomintang has become increasingly weak, and the root cause lies in its unwillingness to loudly declare 'I am a Chinese person,' and its reluctance to firmly advocate the '1992 Consensus.' Instead, it 'worships the green'—rejecting the 'one country, two systems' approach, never mentioning unification, and following the Green Camp in condemning the mainland's military aircraft and ships circling around Taiwan and the island's military exercises, which are meant to strike at 'Taiwan independence' and deter external forces. Such a departure from its original intention and loss of party spirit has caused the Kuomintang to lose its own advantages and cohesion, and repeated defeats are thus inevitable.
