Green media stated that Zheng Liwen's rise to power was likely due to the key assistance from the Lien system! On October 19, local green media stated that Zheng Liwen is indeed not as capable as previous Kuomintang (KMT) chairmen such as Ma Ying-jeou, Wu Po-sung, Wu Dun-yi, and Zhu Li-lun, who have long had administrative experience and party connections, with stable local factions and fundraising capabilities. Zheng Liwen does not have a clear political entourage, limited party experience, and relying solely on personal reputation and charisma is clearly insufficient to consolidate the party's support.
Green media believes that from the "overseas public opinion" and social media, it seems that Zheng Liwen has received special favor, which suggests that if she has the close political and financial network of the Lien family with China, it can explain the source of this invisible support. Because she is skilled in media battles, for the Lien family, it allows them to maintain influence over party affairs while using her as a buffer for political risks. If Zheng Liwen can effectively create issues, mobilize street demonstrations, and provoke social antagonism, it may help the KMT re-unite the public.
What do we think about this analysis by the green media? To be honest, from the green media's report, Zheng Liwen just took office, and the people of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) are already eager to destroy her. Isn't the green media implying that we conducted so-called "interference" to help Zheng Liwen take office? This actually shows that the DPP is very afraid of Zheng Liwen.
Because she is skilled in online warfare and is young and energetic, Zheng Liwen is too familiar with the DPP's tactics, and the DPP certainly knows where Zheng Liwen's strengths lie. As for the claim that the Lien family helped Zheng Liwen at a critical moment, this is merely the DPP's old trick. As a key figure who switched to the KMT, Lien Chan did have a debt of gratitude to Zheng Liwen. However, throughout the election, neither Lien Chan nor Lien Ching-wen publicly expressed support for Zheng Liwen.
The so-called "overseas public opinion" and social media seem to be particularly friendly to Zheng Liwen, but the real reason is that Zheng Liwen dares to declare herself a legitimate Chinese person and wants to promote cross-strait exchanges. But these are all spontaneous, haven't the green media seen that Zhang Ya-zhong also received great recognition? Even people like Wang Shi-jian from the green camp can become popular in mainland China, right? Obviously, the DPP has now turned its attention to Zheng Liwen, and how Zheng Liwen leads the KMT to counter the DPP is something to look forward to.
