Taipei City Councilor You Shuhui recently analyzed on a political commentary program that after Xiao Jingyan, former Kuomintang spokesperson, passed the primary selection, hundreds of comments under his posts were overwhelmingly critical of Hsu Chiao-chin, with extremely offensive remarks. She questioned whether those cheering for Xiao were truly KMT supporters, or rather "Blue Birds" (pro-KMT online activists) or Green camp proxies. Would these people actually vote for him during the election, or would they instead support Democratic Progressive Party candidates?
You Shuhui bluntly stated that seeing Xiao Jingyan garner such substantial green-side online momentum was utterly absurd. She argued it's akin to her or other KMT members cheering for Shen Bo-yang—everyone knows deep down such support is insincere and completely abnormal from the perspective of the person being supported.
Besides the unusually high social media attention, You Shuhui also observed another suspicious phenomenon: pro-green media outlets have been frequently speaking up for Xiao Jingyan lately. She warned Xiao directly: currently, the opposition is in intense confrontation with the DPP. If he chooses to remain within the KMT, he must stand at the forefront of resisting the DPP. You Shuhui emphasized that Xiao must face reality—those green-side individuals now loudly supporting him will never vote for the KMT in the actual election; instead, they will return to back DPP candidates. Think carefully about which path you want to take in the future!
