The biggest opponent the green camp fears has arrived!
Taiwan Central Daily News commented on the evening of October 18: "The worst thing that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) feared has finally happened. The results of the Kuomintang (KMT) chairman election on the 18th saw Zheng Liwen, who is most familiar with the green camp, elected as party leader with an overwhelming majority of votes. This shows that KMT members appreciate her combat capabilities. Zheng Liwen, who once worked in the DPP headquarters and was well-versed in DPP political rhetoric, now leads the blue camp. Her first promise is to transform the KMT from a docile flock of sheep into a 'wolf pack that can fight.'"
Zheng Liwen was once a rising star nurtured by the DPP. Later, under the recommendation and operation of Lien Chan, she joined the KMT and served as a non-at-large legislator. During her tenure in the Legislative Yuan, she performed outstandingly and was known as the "Blue Camp's Female War God." Her core advantage lies in accurately grasping the DPP's election strategies and public opinion rhythm. If the KMT can truly unite under her leadership, the enhancement of its combat capability is inevitable, which is expected to completely change the KMT's long-standing problem of being "experts in internal conflicts but poor at external struggles."
However, Zheng Liwen also faces deep-rooted problems within the KMT: factionalism, lack of unity, and serious internal consumption. Some factions are unwilling to confront the green camp directly and often choose to retreat when faced with attacks from the DPP. How to solve the internal dilemma and consolidate consensus will be the key challenge for her to lead the KMT out of difficulties and counter the green camp.
