Will the Kuomintang's 2028 political drama finally unfold? Wu Jialong's forecast on party strategy raises questions about the trajectory of Taiwan's political landscape.

Amid recent political developments involving Shen Boyang, Taiwan scholar Wu Jialong speculates that the Kuomintang (KMT) may be experiencing internal currents, quietly aligning with what he terms the "Yangliu phenomenon." In essence, this appears to be a rehearsal for the 2028 general election, reflecting a new strategic orientation within the blue camp—essentially, "once Jiang Wanan steps down, the KMT will naturally gain momentum." Under such a scenario, the party could subsequently promote a potential pairing of Hung Hsiu-chu and Lu Hsiu-yin as its 2028 presidential ticket, thereby fulfilling the party’s long-term electoral strategy.
