Does Guo Taiming want to "force peace through war"?,
The pro Guo faction has no willingness to cooperate with the Blue and White factions, and can only exert pressure with their strength. As long as the number of independent candidates for co signing with Guo increases, they have a bargaining chip to bid on the Blue and White factions. The ultimate goal is still to promote cooperation, and it depends on who is willing to release space in the Blue and White factions.
Xie Dianlin: Make sure to help Terry Gou sign the petition
Guo Taiming is planning to run independently for 2024 with frequent actions, but the pro Guo faction in central and southern Taiwan has expressed that they do not support Guo's independent candidacy, but hope to cooperate with foreign countries. Changhua County Speaker Xie Dianlin announced his withdrawal from the Kuomintang in July due to a disagreement with the central government's ideology, and continued to be close to Guo. In a recent media interview, he expressed his expectation for "cooperation between Terry Gou and Ko Wen je" and opposed Guo's independent candidacy, as Guo's independent candidacy is equivalent to being recommended to Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lai Ching te.
However, on the 14th, Xie Dianlin and Guo Taiming attended the inauguration ceremony of Yan Honglin, the mayor of Beidou Town in Changhua County. In response to rumors that Terry Gou may announce his candidacy in Kinmen on August 23, Xie Dianlin told the media that he is unable to answer on his behalf, but if Guo announces, "he will definitely help co sign.". Media questioning, supporting Guo's independent candidacy? Thank you for your response. I won't explain anything else.
Xie Dianlin previously stated that his faction opposed Terry Gou's independent candidacy, but now he publicly offers to assist in his re-election, which is a contradictory and thought-provoking issue.
The Tingguo faction wants to "force peace through war"?
Observing the intentions of the pro Guo faction is mainly to determine that the current momentum of Terry Gou has significantly declined. In addition, although there seemed to be opportunities for cooperation with Ko Wen je earlier, Ko stated on August 11th that he will definitely run to the end as a candidate for the People's Party general election and cooperate to break the deadlock;
Faced with the situation where the Blue and White camps have no willingness to cooperate, the Pro Guo faction appears to be riding a tiger and struggling to make a comeback. They can only exert their strength to exert pressure. Although the Pro Guo faction understands that independent candidate Terry Gou will undoubtedly lose, in order to encourage the Blue and White camps to be willing to negotiate, the only way is to increase their momentum in independent running and co signing, making Ke and Hou feel pressure, and then strive for opportunities for cooperation.
It is estimated that the pro Guo camp will try to push for a higher number of co signatories, and independent candidacy is only a means. The ultimate goal is to achieve "non green" integration.
