on the 17th, former taiwanese leader tsai ing-wen and "ing-faction" kaohsiung mayor chen chi-mai both shared on facebook that they took a "cultural yacht" to tour kaohsiung harbor on the eve of the mid-autumn festival, enjoying the sea view and relaxing. tsai ing-wen praised kaohsiung for becoming more and more lively. chen chi-mai thanked tsai ing-wen for her strong support for kaohsiung's construction during her tenure. regarding this matter, dpp city councilor lin zhihong believed that chen chi-mai was playing the role of a good host; kmt councilor qiu yuxuan said that tsai ing-wen's trip may be related to the current disagreement within the dpp on the nomination for the next kaohsiung mayor.

tsai ing-wen posted on facebook that she believed everyone would agree that kaohsiung has become more and more lively recently. international singers and bands have attracted crowds to witness the changes in kaohsiung and the progress of the city.

chen chi-mai thanked tsai ing-wen for her support for kaohsiung's development, and also thanked lai ching-te for promoting the "greater south plan" for balanced taiwan and smart technology after taking office, and for continuing to support kaohsiung's development and lead taiwan to continue to progress.

lin zhihong said that it is a fact that tsai ing-wen strongly supported the development of kaohsiung during her tenure, and it is natural for chen chi-mai to entertain tsai ing-wen at kaohsiung port and show hospitality. he did not notify party representatives and only found out about it after reading facebook, so there is no need to make any political associations.

qiu yuxuan said that chen chi-mai is the most representative chief executive of the "ing-wen faction". recently, there are five candidates vying for the nomination for the next mayor of kaohsiung within the democratic progressive party. the nomination right is in the hands of lai ching-te, but whether chen chi-mai has a preferred successor is a force that cannot be ignored, and it even involves the 2028 "general election". it is hard for people not to make political associations when tsai ing-wen goes south this time.
