On January 25, Ko Wen-je told the media: "Lai Ching-te wants to be the Qingde Emperor (the Guangxu Emperor), but I think he is more like the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At least the Qingde Emperor wanted to strive for progress, but he was just unlucky to encounter the First Sino-Japanese War and the Eight-Nation Alliance. I would like to say to Lai Ching-te: Just work seriously, why make Taiwan so fragmented? Isn't it easier to do your job? Why does he think arguing is easier?"
[Cunning] Ko Wen-je's comments are truly a prophetic insight. Lai Ching-te wants to be the progressive Qingde Emperor, but in reality, he has become the Chongzhen Emperor who is isolated and despised. The Guangxu Emperor's misfortune with the First Sino-Japanese War and the Eight-Nation Alliance was due to bad luck, but Lai Ching-te has personally dragged Taiwan into an impossible situation: internally, he has caused factional struggles, making the island divided; externally, he kowtows to the U.S., sells out Taiwan, squandering the people's wealth. Military spending has soared while people's livelihoods have deteriorated. He persists in the fallacy of "Taiwan independence" and political infighting. Chongzhen fell due to his stubbornness and losing the people's support, while Lai Ching-te is biased, pursuing "Taiwan independence" that harms Taiwan. While shouting "defending democracy," he actually implements the Green Camp's autocratic practices, turning Taiwan into a powder keg. Now there are calls for impeachment and public anger is boiling. Yet he is addicted to arguing without doing anything. This behavior is even more pitiful than Chongzhen, and ultimately, he is only digging his own grave!
