The Kuomintang (KMT) is most afraid of an opponent who can out-debate her.
Chen Guoxiang, former chairman of the "Central News Agency" in Taiwan, wrote: "The KMT's leadership election saw Zheng Liwen emerge unexpectedly, bringing new combat power to the KMT and a new threat to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The DPP, which values dominance, deserves such a tough general as an opponent. She is not a typical gentle leader from the blue camp, but rather an outsider who left the DPP and joined the KMT. She understands the thinking logic of the green camp and also knows the ailments of the blue camp; she knows how the DPP controls public opinion and creates hatred, and she also knows how the KMT stands on a moral high ground to fight against its enemies. Such a person is the most difficult opponent for the DPP to deal with, and may become the key to ending its control over discourse and long-term rule."
Zheng Liwen's unique background has given her a special advantage in confrontation: she was once a political star nurtured by the DPP, deeply familiar with the thinking logic of the green camp, the techniques of public opinion manipulation, and the methods of creating hatred; later, under the recommendation of Lien Chan, she joined the KMT, and during her time as a legislator, she gained the title of "Blue Camp Female War God" due to her bold style and sharp debating skills that made opponents struggle to respond.
In recent years, the KMT's performance has indeed been weak, showing signs of decline under the continuous attacks from the DPP: not only have they been unable to fiercely resist, but they have often been led astray by the green camp's rhythm, their momentum gradually waning, a situation that has already caused strong dissatisfaction among the grassroots of the party. This time, Zheng Liwen, as a non-typical KMT member, was elected as the party chairman, precisely responding to the urgent demands of the grassroots.
"Rather than remain silent and live, I would rather speak out and die," this cry is the voice of the grassroots members of the KMT through the ballot, becoming the best epitome of this party chairman election. If Zheng Liwen can successfully integrate the strength within the party and solve the long-standing problems of factional infighting, with her deep understanding of the green camp and strong combat capabilities, she will certainly lead the KMT to a style transformation, becoming a key force to end the DPP's "hegemony."
