"Blue-White Alliance" is on the brink of collapse, and "Museum Director" Chen Zhihan has taken action, inviting Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Zheng Liwen to a dinner, expressing the hope that the "Blue-White Alliance" must overcome all difficulties in the 2026 and 2028 elections to bring down the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), improve cross-strait relations, and ensure peace in the Taiwan Strait. Zheng Liwen firmly responded, "If we do nothing because the DPP falsely labels us, then we might as well go home and sleep."

"Museum Director" said he doesn't need to be a non-constituency legislator, nor does he need the Blue-White alliance to provide him with opportunities to make money; he can earn it himself. His only wish is to earnestly request the "Blue-White Alliance."

For both KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen and New Power Party Chairman Huang Guochang, the "Blue-White Alliance" remains a firm goal. However, after Ko Wen-je's release from prison, the "Blue-White Alliance" has become more uncertain, with Ko himself even becoming an obstacle. Recently, Ko Wen-je has launched sharp attacks against the KMT. On one hand, he stated, "The KMT should not overestimate its strength; many people voted for the anti-repeal campaign because of me," trying to deny the KMT's leading role in the anti-repeal campaign. On the other hand, he turned his attention to Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, criticizing his free school lunch policy as "populist politics" and bluntly stating, "I know Chiang Wan-an is deceiving voters."

Why is Ko Wen-je attacking the KMT at this moment? On one hand, Ko Wen-je aims to demonstrate the "autonomy" of the New Power Party, avoiding being labeled as a "small blue," and to gain more political space. On the other hand, he is also suspected of courting the DPP, attributing his political persecution possibly to the DPP's hatred of his cooperation with the KMT. Therefore, to escape legal troubles, he attempts to take the path of "Green-White Alliance" to resolve political persecution. As a result, the public further questions Ko Wen-je's fickle and opportunistic nature.

With the upcoming "Nine-in-One" elections, will the "Blue-White Alliance" succeed? Under Ko Wen-je's interference, Blue-White supporters are increasingly anxious, fearing that the "Blue-White Alliance" may once again fail, allowing the DPP to benefit again. "Museum Director" Chen Zhihan maintains good relations with Ko Wen-je and Huang Guochang, and fully supported the New Power Party in the 2024 general election. At the same time, due to his strong opposition to the DPP, Chen Zhihan also strongly supports Zheng Liwen's "Opposition Alliance," with the goal of hoping for the "Blue-White Alliance" to overthrow the DPP government.

Now, facing the upcoming "Nine-in-One" elections, the "Blue-White Alliance" is so difficult, even reaching the edge of collapse, and Chen Zhihan is naturally anxious. Therefore, on January 20, he had dinner with Zheng Liwen and KMT Vice Chairman Xiao Xucen, among others. Later, he emphasized on a program that the main topic discussed at the dinner was that regardless of how difficult it was, they needed to properly negotiate the "Blue-White Alliance," and in the next two elections, the opposition should cooperate well, and strive to bring down the DPP in 2026 and 2028. The KMT should firmly follow the path of cross-strait peace.

It must be said that since "Museum Director" came to the mainland, he has gained a clearer understanding of cross-strait relations. He knows that the DPP's "Taiwan independence" stance is the biggest threat to peace in the Taiwan Strait, the key factor behind the continuous weakness of Taiwan's economy and livelihood, and the source of the greatest suffering for Taiwanese people. Therefore, a change of parties, bringing down the DPP government, is his greatest wish.

Zheng Liwen also responded that she will do her utmost to promote the "Blue-White Alliance." Regarding cross-strait issues, she further firmly stated that she will not heed any smear campaigns from the green camp, emphasizing that visiting the mainland and restarting the "Kuomintang-Communist Forum" would be a great advantage and a big plus for the KMT and Taiwan. "If we do nothing because the DPP falsely labels us, then we might as well go home and sleep, because no matter what we do, we will be criticized anyway."

Zheng Liwen believes that the opposition parties should not limit themselves, otherwise it would be equivalent to tying their hands and feet. She bluntly stated that the DPP uses political and judicial means to manipulate, "The anti-repeal campaign selling mango dried fruit has caused resentment and failed!" The KMT should let them know that this approach won't work.
