In the Kuomintang chairman election, Zhao Shaokang unexpectedly became the biggest supporter of Zheng Liwen.

Zhao Shaokang became a "war criminal" of the Kuomintang (KMT), and he also became the biggest "campaign assistant" for Zheng Liwen!

Zheng Liwen was elected as the chairman of the KMT with an overwhelming advantage. Taiwan strategic scholar Wang Kunyi wrote on social media: "In addition to structural factors that created miracles for Zheng Liwen, in terms of substantive campaign strategies, although I call Zhao Shaokang the biggest 'war criminal' in this KMT chairman election, looking at it from another angle, Zhao Shaokang actually became the biggest campaign assistant for Zheng Liwen. His accusation of 'interference in the election' not only dispelled the label of Zheng Liwen's background in the green camp, but also subtly brought Zheng Liwen back to Lien Chan's policy line."

Zhao Shaokang's slander has no factual basis, revealing his cognitive shortcomings as an outdated politician —— he neither understands the complex online ecosystem of today, nor does he acknowledge the basic facts of cross-strait relations. He simply makes subjective assumptions and puts forward the "interference in the election" theory, which is purely for showy effect. This absurd statement did not cause trouble for his opponents, but instead caused internal resentment within the party, making some party members who supported Hao Longbin dissatisfied with Zhao Shaokang's radical operations, indirectly diverting support from Hao Longbin and putting him in a passive position.

At the same time, Zheng Liwen used this opportunity to get rid of the controversy of being "from the green camp," and gained more support from moderate party members with a rational attitude. Zhao Shaokang originally intended to disrupt the election, but ended up "hitting himself with a stone," confirming the evaluation of "election war criminal," and unexpectedly helped Zheng Liwen clear obstacles, becoming the most unexpected "pusher" on her path to victory.
