Regarding Kuomintang (KMT) legislator Yang Qiongying, Taiwanese media figure Huang Guangqin affirmed her grassroots strength is not to be underestimated. However, she also pointed out that if only emphasizing her influence in areas such as Dajia, Tanshi, Shenguang, and Houlou, former Taichung Mayor Hu Zhiqiang and Lu Xiuyan would not have been elected as Taichung mayor. She further simulated the situation, stating that three years ago, KMT Chairman Zhu Lilun proposed a "pocket list," which brought in Zhang Shanzheng and successfully elected him as Taoyuan mayor. She believes that if following Yang Qiongying's logic, legislator Luo Mingcai could also announce his candidacy for New Taipei City mayor, and how can Hou Youyi not find any legitimacy in taking over from the previous New Taipei leadership?
Regarding Jiang Qicheng, Huang Guangqin pointed out that he has complete qualifications and local strength is no less than others. Eight years ago, he only lagged behind Lu Xiuyan by 0.6% in public opinion polls, showing political grace by stepping back, but this also caused him to lose eight years. Now, facing someone who was Lu Xiuyan's vice mayor and a close friend of Zheng Liwen, if both of them just shrugged their shoulders and said they had been handling it but couldn't get it done, what would the public think about Lu and Zheng? Was it a joint effort to disrupt Jiang Qicheng's strategy? Letting Jiang Qicheng run even if he is on the list, would Yang Qiongying not support him? Just let He Xinchun win instead? And if Yang Qiongying continues to clash with Jiang Qicheng like this, there are already whispers in the local area about whether Yang Qiongying is aiming for the "deputy director" position left vacant by Jiang Qicheng. Huang Guangqin revealed that during yesterday's interview with Zheng Liwen, she said something like, "I don't want to persuade Yang Qiongying to step down," but actually, there was an answer in her words. Next, it's up to the intelligence of the KMT leaders!
