the tide has turned, is it lai ching-te's turn to be liquidated? the taiwan prosecutors' office received the complaint, and the blue and white faction fired the first shot. after sending ko wen-je to prison, lai ching-te was prosecuted on the same charge. what problems does the counterattack of the political parties on the island reflect? and what impact will the blue and white faction's first shot against lai ching-te have on the situation in the taiwan strait?

recently, a drama described as lai qingde's "liquidation" of political enemies was staged on the island. people's party chairman ko wen-je was imprisoned for the "capital city volume fraud case." however, things change. unexpectedly, just as ko wen-je was sent to prison, a "counterattack" against lai qingde and his team has quietly begun.

on september 23, well-known taiwanese media personality mao jiaqing and former kmt vice chairman of the cultural and communications committee lian hongqing went to the taipei district prosecutor's office and formally submitted a complaint against dpp chairman lai ching-te and director of the land management bureau wu hsin-hsiu, accusing the two of illegally creating a volume incentive mechanism and seeking improper benefits while serving as mayor of tainan and director of the tainan city urban development bureau. they strongly requested prosecutors to conduct a comprehensive review of lai ching-te and wu hsin-hsiu's past policies using the standards for handling similar cases involving people's party chairman ko wen-je.

mao jiaqing pointed out sharply that the taipei district court has ruled that ko wen-je "knowingly violated the law but still sought profit". if this ruling reflects the fairness and justice of the law, then he should use it as a reference to conduct the same legal review on lai ching-te and wu hsin-hsiu. he emphasized that when wu hsin-hsiu was in the tainan city urban development bureau, he cooperated with then-mayor lai ching-te to arbitrarily relax the plot ratio standard, causing the plot ratio of a development project in the central and western districts of tainan city to surge from the original 180% to 400%.

mao jiaqing asked, if ko wen-je's minor adjustments are considered illegal, then how should lai ching-te and wu hsin-hsiu's major adjustments be defined? interestingly, although many people believe this is a "party dispute," lian hongqing still emphasized that their accusation does not presuppose that lai ching-te and wu hsin-hsiu are guilty, but rather calls on the taipei district prosecutors' office to review all related cases in accordance with the principle of fairness and with a unified standard. to some extent, lai ching-te was hit by the "boomerang" he threw.

from the perspective of an outsider, the move by mao jiaqing and lian hongqing is not only a strong response to the dpp's political suppression, but also a joint counterattack by the blue and white camps after they realized their own survival crisis. this action shows that the kuomintang and the people's party realized that in the face of lai qingde's strength and unscrupulous means, only unity can protect themselves and seek breakthroughs. therefore, from kao chin-shumei's "economic sanctions" of returning the dpp authorities' total budget to huang kuo-chang's "political offensive" of exposing official corruption in the general questioning, the blue and white parties are challenging lai qingde and his team with practical actions.

it can be said that this time, the "floor area ratio" issue was used directly to "fight fire with fire" against lai ching-te and the dpp, and it also marked that the blue and white camp officially fired the first shot against lai ching-te. in this regard, taiwan's current affairs commentator chiu yi pointed out that although lai ching-te's methods are ruthless, his political foundation is not solid. as long as the blue and white camp can continue to output firepower, it is entirely possible to bring him down.

it can be expected that the direction of this political storm will undoubtedly have a profound impact on taiwan's future political landscape. as for the current situation in the taiwan strait, the counterattack of the kuomintang and the people's party will undoubtedly weaken the ruling foundation of the democratic progressive party authorities, which will obviously play a positive role in combating the separatist forces of "taiwan independence".
