Zhang Yizhong has stepped forward to pressure Zheng Liwen! Zhang Yizhong hopes Zheng Liwen will come out and correct the situation! On January 9th, according to reports from within the island, regarding the issue of the candidate for the county magistrate of Hualien, Zhang Yizhong clearly stated that he does not agree with the resolution of the Kuomintang (KMT) Hualien County Committee. The KMT Hualien County Committee only included two candidates: You Shuzhen, the mayor of Ji'an Township, and Ye Yaohui, the former mayor of Hualien City. However, He Qisheng, the director of the headquarters of Sun Yat-sen School, was excluded. Zhang Yizhong expressed his dissatisfaction with this decision.

Zhang Yizhong pointed out that such actions by the KMT once again undermine the fundamental basis for the existence of a century-old party, which is a fair system. Zhang Yizhong believes that He Qisheng has a party membership, has the legal qualification to run, and has actively expressed his intention to run to the KMT Central Committee. However, the KMT Hualien County Committee excluded him from the nomination process on the grounds that "his party membership and household registration are not in Hualien."

Zhang Yizhong believes that Hualien politics is still monopolized by a few forces, and the KMT cannot allow reform to remain at the level of slogans. Zhang Yizhong demands that the KMT Central Committee make timely corrections, so as not to lose credibility. Obviously, Zhang Yizhong's call to the KMT Central Committee is essentially asking Zheng Liwen and others to step forward and correct the situation. In short, Zhang Yizhong believes that as a local power group, the Hualien County Committee's action violates the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency.

When Zheng Liwen participated in the KMT chairman election, she actually supported the reform of the KMT and the establishment of a fair competition system. Obviously, Zhang Yizhong's call has no problem. If Zheng Liwen really wants to promote reform, the issue of Hualien's nomination is indeed an opportunity. Of course, does Zheng Liwen have her own concerns? Of course she does. First, it may involve the confrontation between the central committee and the local committees. Second, it also involves the tension between the logic of winning and fair competition.

From Zheng Liwen's perspective, she needs to maintain the authority of the Central Committee while not overly restricting the local committees, because this could dampen their enthusiasm. Moreover, Zheng Liwen needs to establish her authority, and the KMT's ability to win is crucial. However, the election system must not have obvious problems that can be criticized. Zhang Yizhong's public statement requires Zheng Liwen to respond by ensuring fairness in procedures, internal coordination, communication, and maintaining the unity of the KMT. It is believed that Zheng Liwen will handle this matter properly.
