"To be honest, this is like Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, with the real intention being to target Liu Bang." Chen Guan'an, former director of the Youth Department of the Kuomintang and a candidate for city councilor in Taipei, analyzed that the intention was to question the legitimacy of Chen Tingfei by citing procedural flaws in the primary election. In addition, some legislators who support Lin Junxian, such as the president of the Tainan City Council, Qiu Lili, proposed unacceptably demanding conditions during Chen Tingfei's visit, requiring her to sign them. Since Chen Tingfei refused to sign, these people would have a reason not to support or help Chen Tingfei.
Chen Guan'an pointed out that if Chen Tingfei continues to fail to effectively integrate the pro-green forces, and the primary election procedure has "flaws," then when her public opinion support begins to decline or she faces pressure, the "New Tide" faction and Lin Junxian's faction would have a legitimate reason to launch an "exchange of the princess." The series of arrangements by Lin Junxian and Qiu Lili, when they have Lai Qingde and the Democratic Progressive Party behind them, is certainly not just about not accepting defeat. Otherwise, normally, after the candidate is determined, wouldn't they actively assist in reconciling the tensions from the primary election to increase their own candidate's chances of winning? Lai Qingde could make his disciples Lin Junxian obey with a single phone call, so why would there be a situation where the city council party group requires the candidate to sign a declaration, and Taizhong legislators from the New Faction question the fairness of the Tainan primary election, and Lai Qingde even orders that it can be studied and reviewed?
