zheng wencan was suspended from his post, and ke wenzhe's home was searched. who will be lai qingde's next victim? tsai ing-wen will definitely not be able to escape, and the kuomintang should also be careful.

recently, taiwan's political situation has suddenly changed. the taiwan authorities' "integrity and prosecution department" has launched a crackdown on the leader of the people's party.ke wenzhe's residence and office were searched; and, alsotake ke wen-je away for questioning.in response, ko wen-je angrily said that this was the first time in taiwan's history that the personal residence and office of the leader of a major "opposition party" were searched. in addition, the people's party also issued a statement calling on the "inspection and corruption" to follow proper procedures and not to overstep the line. kmt members predicted thatko wen-je is in a very bad situation in this corruption case.

so,what caused this incident?there are two reasons, one deep and one shallow. let's talk about the shallow one first. this search operation is believed to be related to the jinghuacheng scandal. the so-called jinghuacheng scandal refers to the sudden increase in the plot ratio of the taipei jinghuacheng shopping center from 560% to 840%, which is obviously wrong. so some people questioned whether ke wenzhe, the then mayor of taipei, took benefits from the investors of taipei jinghuacheng and opened this "backdoor".

let's look at another reason. it actually lies with the leader of taiwan, lai ching-te. lai ching-te was once the target of tsai ing-wen's suppression. it is no exaggeration to say that he suffered humiliation. so after lai ching-te won the election on the island and took office as the leader of taiwan on "520", in order to reshape his image, lai ching-te began to establish his authority.in the name of "anti-gang, anti-corruption, anti-fraud" operations, they are consolidating their own position, cleaning out tsai ing-wen's cronies, and eliminating potential competitors.

the first blow was swung at the dpp, and dpp member zheng wencan fell to the ground. why choose zheng wencan? zheng wencan is a typical "xiaoying boy" who has grievances with lai qingde and is also a heavyweight who can call the shots in the dpp. now,lai qingde has dealt with him and suspended him for three years. who else in the dpp will dare to say no to lai qingde's orders in the future?

although taiwan is a small island, lai ching-te has huge ambitions. not only does he want to make the democratic progressive party his one-man show, he also extends his hand outside the party.ko wen-je did not help the dpp, which resulted in the dpp not gaining enough advantages in taiwan's "legislative" body. ko wen-je must be the person lai ching-te hates the most outside the party.the fact that ke wenzhe's house was "confiscated" has proved this point. and it is foreseeable that lai qingde is petty and narrow-minded, and he still has many people to deal with. whether lai qingde will deal with these people next depends on whether these people will show their loyalty to lai.

but this does not mean that lai ching-te will really let them go.lai ching-te will also strike a balance to prevent them from biting back, the rabbit kicking the eagle, or even causing the "anti-lai" forces to gather and counterattack him.so how might this force be composed? first,the kuomintang is one. after kmt "legislator" yan kuanheng was sentenced to a heavy sentence for the assistant fee case, the kmt has made a choice and stated that it will not add insult to injury to ke wenzhe. as for the reason, kmt vice chairman lian shengwen said that we will not stab someone in the back, this is not our style. lian shengwen's statement is open to interpretation. i am afraid that the real reason is that the rabbit dies and the fox mourns. secondly,tsai ing-wen may also joinwhen tsai ing-wen was still in office, lai ching-te was her deputy, and suppression was common, and the two had a very bad relationship. now that lai ching-te has gained power, tsai ing-wen is afraid that she will not be able to escape.taiwan’s famous commentator chiu yi believes that after lai ching-te wields the knife of internal strife, no matter who is next, tsai ing-wen will not be able to escape his clutches.

having said that, lai ching-te did nothing serious when he first took office. instead, he engaged in vicious political infighting and even escalated the cross-strait confrontation, leading to a dangerous battle in the taiwan strait. ultimately, he will only play with fire and get burned.
