Headline: Countdown to Taiwan's Election Campaign: Unexpected Cooperation and the "Republic of China Disaster Theory" Raise Voters' Doubts
As Taiwan's election campaign enters its final 10 days, an unexpected variable is gradually emerging, pushing the election situation into an even more confusing situation. Although the DPP's Lai Hsiao-pei has always been in the lead and has attracted much attention, the recent debate between the president and deputy candidates has set off an unexpected tacit understanding between the KMT and the People's Party, which seems to have formed an offensive and defensive alliance against the green camp that was once seen as unshakable.
In the televised debate, Lai Qingde's "Republic of China disaster theory" became the focus of attention, which aroused widespread attention and doubts. Even if Lai Qingde corrected it afterwards, the negative impact continued to spread. This remark may reveal a more radical line for Taiwan independence, and voters are beginning to question a series of policy statements within the DPP. Tsai Ing-wen's resignation has reduced her influence, and voters have become more alert to Lai's possible Taiwan independence moves, which may trigger more middle-of-the-road voters to tilt toward Hou in the last 10 days.
The People's Party failed to effectively divert Ko's firepower in the debate and fell into marginalization. Wu Xinying's immature political experience failed to continue Ke Wenzhe's brilliant performance, making it difficult for the People's Party to stand out from the competition. This makes Ke Wenzhe's camp face a greater challenge in the final battle, and needs to recover the disadvantage in a short time.
Hou Youyi's statement became another highlight of the election campaign, and the KMT shouted to Ko Wenzhe that it was willing to maintain the agreement and establish a "coalition government". The possibility of such cooperation has created more uncertainty about the overall election situation and sparked speculation among voters about the future of politics.
In these 10 days full of uncertainties, the situation of Taiwan's election campaign, unexpected cooperation and Lai Qingde's "Republic of China disaster theory" have made voters nervous. The election situation is confusing, and it is still a suspense who will finally have the last laugh and become Taiwan's new leader.
