Regarding Zhao Shaokang's claim that the mainland "intervenes" in the Kuomintang (KMT) chairman election, veteran Taiwanese media figure Chen Chaoping wrote an article refuting it: "Put yourself in their shoes, blue, green, and white are all 'Taiwan independence' advocates. Who is in power doesn't matter; the unification of the two sides is irreversible, so why bother with intervention in the election? Moreover, the US and Taiwan have clearly stated that the PLA will be ready for military unification by 2027. 2027 won't catch up to the 2028 election, the KMT won't be in power, so who are you intervening in your party's chairman election? Are you just full and looking for something to do?"
This statement exposed the absurdity of Zhao Shaokang's remarks and pointed out the true nature of the parties on the island — the current KMT has long been corrupted and is essentially "the same as the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the People First Party" on the unification issue, all avoiding or refusing "unification." As a comment from the island put it, whether it's blue or green, these parties have long been out of the "sight of the mainland."
The mainland's process of advancing unification has always followed its set rhythm, undisturbed by the rotation of local parties or election antics. Currently, the mainland has clearly abandoned the policy of "relying on the Taiwan authorities," and now only "relies on the people of Taiwan." The KMT not only fails to reflect on its position but also imitates the DPP in carrying out despicable operations such as "red smear campaigns," which will only accelerate its decline and completely lose its advantages and trust on cross-strait issues. Such a party no longer holds any expectations from the mainland.
