at about 3 a.m. on the 2nd, the taipei district court ruled that former taipei mayor and people's party chairman ko wen-je could be released without bail. ko wen-je is currently resting with his wife chen pei-chi at the home of people's party legislator huang shan-shan. ma ying-jeou foundation executive director xiao xu-cen bluntly stated that lai ching-te's actions since taking office are to dismantle the majority of taiwan's public opinion institutions and complete the "taiwan independence" mission during his term. the opposition can only stop it through cooperation, "except for 'blue and white coalition', there is no other choice."

in an interview with the media today, xiao xucen pointed out that the trajectory of ma ying-jeou's pursuit by the judiciary is very similar to that of ko wen-je now. first, they both leaked information to a certain weekly magazine to create an atmosphere of corruption and guilt; second, the chief prosecutor personally held a special case meeting to bring him down; third, there was fatigue interrogation. ma ying-jeou stood for 14 hours, and ko wen-je did it for three days and three nights, setting a record.

xiao xucen said that the ruling dpp authorities want to hunt down important figures of the opposition party. from ma ying-jeou in the past to ko wen-je now, we can see the same trajectory. from the leak case to the "three centrals case", ma ying-jeou was not guilty in all cases, but all the prosecutors who handled him were promoted. this is why the current prosecutors want to handle ko wen-je, because he will definitely be promoted.

however, xiao xucen also mentioned that from the disagreement between the blue and white campaign to the political donation case, ko wen-je was unable to deal with huang shanshan, and yet he still trusts her so much now. being easily influenced is ko wen-je's political weakness. after being summoned without bail, ko did not return home, but went straight to huang shanshan's home to discuss things, sarcastically saying, "she doesn't listen to what people say, but is led by ghosts." this is what ko wen-je needs to pay attention to in politics.

xiao xucen believes that as the ruling authorities are hunting down ko wen-je, supporters of the people's party must not accept the people's party representatives cooperating with dpp representatives. what the kmt needs to think about is whether the cooperation of taiwan's public opinion institutions can be extended to 2026 and 2028. this requires a mechanism. this time, the kmt showed that it maintained a pattern of cooperation with the opposition, without making bad remarks or adding insult to injury. next, the blue and white parties should further discuss political cooperation.

xiao xucen pointed out that this year's "general election" has proved that without the unity of the blue and white factions, lai ching-te will definitely be elected without any effort. many comrades in the party said that they have to rely on themselves. politics needs to be viewed pragmatically. if you are strong enough, you can of course rely on yourself, but if you are not strong enough, you have to cooperate with allies.

he stressed that "there is no other choice but to unite the blue and white factions." lai ching-te's actions are to dismantle the majority of taiwan's public opinion institutions and complete the "taiwan independence" mission during his term. only cooperation from the opposition can stop him. comrades of the kuomintang should stop making ridiculous remarks such as self-reliance and self-improvement and falling down with their chests held high. only by cooperating with the opposition and facing reality can we fight against such an unfair and unjust ruling party.
