It seems the infighting within the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has begun! The three "main culprits" behind the major defeats have come to light! On July 27, according to reports from Taiwan, as soon as the results of the recall vote were announced, the DPP claimed that this defeat had "three major war criminals." These three "war criminals" are Koo Chien-ming, the "spokesperson" of the DPP faction, Tsao Hsing-cheng, the founder of Unimicron, and "Green Member" Shen Po-yang. Local media stated that Koo Chien-ming was the first to be targeted, as the recall campaign was initiated by Koo Chien-ming.
Secondly, Tsao Hsing-cheng. Previously, there were rumors about a love affair, but after the disaster, Tsao Hsing-cheng responded with "why should the Black Bear Academy go to rescue?" which sparked public anger. Thirdly, Shen Po-yang, because Shen Po-yang was the most targeted by the "Qingniao" group, and negative information such as taking advantage of the disaster to make a profit during the island's disaster prevention continued to emerge, making Shen Po-yang difficult to escape blame. Local media said that these three not only dragged down Lai Ching-te's support ratings, but could also lead the entire Green Camp political situation into a crisis.
Evidently, the DPP has just suffered a setback and is already looking for "war criminals," which indicates that internal purges are likely beginning. Some local experts said that the DPP started with "street politics" and has a strong tendency for confrontation. It fights against the Kuomintang (KMT) externally, and the internal party struggles are also very intense. The removal of Zheng Wen-tsang, a major figure in the "Ying Faction," is a clear example. Therefore, this time of heavy defeat, someone must take responsibility and bear the blame.
Now, the DPP has turned its attention to Koo Chien-ming, Tsao Hsing-cheng, and Shen Po-yang. These three people who led the charge are certainly the main offenders, and Lai Ching-te himself is the one who started it all. In fact, anticipating the heavy defeat, Lai Ching-te has already intended to distance himself from the so-called "civilian team" in order to clarify his own responsibility. However, Lai Ching-te can only now swallow the bitter wine he brewed himself. As for these "three war criminals," their reputation in Taiwan will undoubtedly become even more notorious. The DPP internal division will lead to splits, which may be good news for the island and cross-strait relations.
