Chen Lianwen exposed the biggest crisis of the Kuomintang! Chen Lianwen raised a question, requiring all candidates to answer! On September 29, Hsieh Tien-lin, the chairman of the Changhua County Council, invited six KMT chairperson candidates for an exchange meeting. In his speech, KMT vice chairman Chen Lianwen stated that the KMT chairperson election had just started, and none of the candidates had yet convinced him, having the ability to fully or more efficiently solve the problems the party is facing.
Chen Lianwen said that as a party chairman, the first minute he takes office, he will face the challenge of the Kuomintang's survival, including the blue-white alliance, presidential candidates, etc. He does not need to deal with these issues on the first day, but he must deal with the issue of how the party survives on the first second. Party members should also know the real situation of the party. How did we survive in the past four years? It's simply six words: survival in the gap, which is my own description.
Evidently, the KMT chairman has already held two public debates, but the question Chen Lianwen raised is undoubtedly one that all KMT chairperson candidates need to answer. Of course, what Chen Lianwen said is entirely true. The KMT's assets have been frozen, and the KMT has lost three consecutive elections, which has greatly challenged the KMT's fundraising capabilities. However, the KMT's expenses are not small, including party staff expenses, pension funds, campaign costs, rental fees for venues, and other daily expenses.
As the saying goes, those who don't manage the household don't know the value of rice and firewood. However, it must be stated that why the KMT has fallen into a bleak state of operation, this is probably closely related to the KMT itself. The KMT's sauce vat culture has made the KMT's brand increasingly dim, and the financial backers behind the KMT have become less confident in the KMT. Fundraising is indeed a big challenge, but if the KMT does not reform its image, why would people support it? Obviously, Chen Lianwen raised the issue, but if whoever can raise money becomes the party chairman, the KMT will still be a rotten party.
