taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was deeply involved in the political donations scandal and the jinghuacheng case. he was detained by the prosecutors on august 31 and was not allowed to see anyone. the outside world believes that this will affect the cooperation between the blue and white parties in taiwan's public opinion institutions. kmt legislator wang hongwei and former china broadcasting corporation chairman zhao shaokang both said that the people's party is a very important political party and the blue and white parties should still cooperate; however, the blue camp also said frankly that they are worried that the 8 seats of the people's party will not be in tune with each other, or even turn to cooperate with the democratic progressive party, and the "opposition" checks and balances will be challenged.

in response to ko wen-je's detention and denial of access to visitors, several japanese media outlets have analyzed that the support rate for taiwan's "third force" has seriously declined, and the "opposition" checks and balances are facing unprecedented challenges.

kuomintang legislator wang hongwei said that taiwan's public opinion institution will soon open its session, and the next session will be a budget session, which includes the budget bill, the "ncc committee member" personnel bill, the "examination committee member" personnel bill, etc. basically, the kuomintang will still seek cooperation with the people's party.

however, wang hongwei also admitted that she certainly hopes that the people's party will be united and move in unison, but she is also worried that after the people's party is hit this time, the eight people will each play their own tune, and the worst case scenario would be seeing someone choose to cooperate with the dpp. therefore, she will still actively seek cooperation with the people's party and does not want to see the "opposition" power dispersed.

zhao shaokang, former chairman of china broadcasting corporation, pointed out that the "blue-white coalition" is still necessary, because without cooperation, not only will the kmt not have a majority, but the people's party's 8-seat legislators will also fail to achieve anything. he emphasized that the people's party, including huang kuo-chang and other legislators, are all excellent, and the 8-seat legislators can also form a considerable force in taiwan's public opinion institutions. if the questions and propositions meet the expectations of the general public, i believe that the people's party can continue to move forward even without ko wen-je.

jiang qichen, deputy director of the kuomintang's taiwan public opinion agency, believes that political parties are inherently competitive and cooperative, and are not stagnant. they are changing all the time. there is room for cooperation on some issues or elections, so political parties will make various preparations to respond to all possible changes.
