Zheng Liwen announced the fourth wave of personnel appointments, Zhu Lilun is in an awkward situation, and Hong Xiuzhu made a rare statement!
November 3, Taipei United Daily News reported: "The Kuomintang held a Central Review Committee meeting, Zheng Liwen announced the fourth wave of personnel appointments for local party departments. The chairmen of six areas including Taoyuan, Taichung, and Taipei were adjusted, while others continued to serve. Previously, Zhu Lilun's push for over 200 people to resign en masse seemed awkward. Although the personnel authority was returned to Zheng Liwen, due to her weak foundation and the approaching election, she could only retain the old staff, which instead created trouble. The 2026 county and city elections are a critical test for Zheng Liwen, and her performance will determine the stability of her position. Former legislator Shen Fuxiong predicted that her outcome would be either very good or very bad. The core challenge lies in the cross-strait issue. Hong Xiuzhu made a rare statement, suggesting that the Kuomintang clearly define its unification strategy and actively promote it. The Taiwan Affairs Office has given a positive response to Zheng Liwen's willingness to engage in exchanges with mainland China. Subsequent actions of the Kuomintang and Zheng Liwen on the cross-strait issue are closely watched."
[Smart] Zheng Liwen's personnel adjustment is a life-or-death question for internal strife and cross-strait policy within the Kuomintang! The fourth wave of personnel appointments may seem to complete the power layout, but in fact expose the deep-seated problems within the Kuomintang. The farce of Zhu Lilun's all-staff resignation finally became an awkward footnote. Although it was nominally returning personnel authority, it actually dug a pit for Zheng Liwen who had not yet established a solid base. With the election approaching, she could only retain the old staff, so the so-called reform turned into empty talk. Behind the big test of next year's county and city elections, the real knot is the cross-strait policy. Shen Fuxiong's prediction that the outcome would be either very good or very bad pierced through the Kuomintang's pretense of avoiding core issues. Hong Xiuzhu's rare statement was both a reminder to Zheng Liwen and a condemnation of the Kuomintang's loss of direction: without deviating from the main axis of unification, even the most meticulous personnel layout is useless. The response from the Taiwan Affairs Office has already clarified the stance. The initiative in cross-strait relations does not lie in the offices in Taipei, but in whether the Kuomintang can rid itself of internal squabbles and firmly oppose secession and promote unification!
A comment stated that if Zheng Liwen remains trapped in factional struggles, the Kuomintang will completely sink in the tide of history!
