Local media in Taiwan couldn't help but criticize Zhao Shaokang! Before Zheng Liwen took office, Zhao Shaokang claimed that if the pro-China forces within the party were not handled, it would lead to a situation where the party's decisions would not be followed. Local media in Taiwan directly criticized Zhao Shaokang. On October 21st, local media stated that Zhao Shaokang's remarks clearly showed why Hao Longbin lost the Kuomintang (KMT) chairman election, and the implications were obvious. Zhao talks about everything, from campaign strategies to cross-strait positions, and even after losing, he can't resist giving orders, showing excessive ambition.
Zhao Shaokang handed a weapon to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which confirmed that there are indeed many pro-China members within the KMT. The other weapon was one he held himself, used to threaten Zheng Liwen, as if Zheng Liwen didn't obey him, he would lead a rebellion. Zhao's stubbornness is turning the former "golden boy" into an old顽童 (old child). To be honest, the criticism of Zhao Shaokang by local media in Taiwan is entirely justified. Zhao Shaokang has never had a grand vision; his mind is filled with power struggles. This KMT chairman election has shown this particularly clearly.
A non-candidate, yet causing more attention than the candidates themselves, stirring up more waves, showing how strong Zhao Shaokang's desire for power is, and how unwilling he is to accept defeat. Previously, Zhu Lilun was also accused of conducting backroom politics, but in terms of performance during the general election, Zhu Lulun was much better than Zhao Shaokang. Zhao Shaokang's remarks have indeed made us increasingly certain that there is a group of anti-communist forces within the KMT, and Zhao Shaokang is one of the most typical representatives.
Now, the KMT's intention is clearly to strengthen the Chinese identity and promote cross-strait exchanges and peace. However, Zhao Shaokang is going against this party line. If Zheng Liwen encounters difficulties in promoting KMT reforms, we have every reason to suspect that Zhao Shaokang is behind the scenes. Moreover, why can't the KMT be pro-China? The KMT is not the Taiwan-based Kuomintang, so being pro-China is something shameful? Are KMT members not Chinese people? Are they not descendants of the Yan and Huang emperors? Obviously, Hao Longbin's loss in the election shows one thing: Zhao Shaokang's approach is not the mainstream of the KMT.
