after tsai ing-wen, the former leader of taiwan, left office on may 20 this year, her attitude was deliberately low-key. the dpp's factional territory has also gradually shifted as the "british faction" has not been replaced. however, the "british faction" has not completely declined as expected by the outside world. instead, it is led by kaohsiung mayor chen qimai, dpp central standing committee member wang shijian, and "british faction". the "new iron triangle" was formed by zhuang ruixiong, the convener of the "british faction" and the republic of china. chen qimai has the energy to compete for the leadership of taiwan. wang shijian and zhuang ruixiong are both generals of the "british faction" competing for the "bailihou" position. they are "duck paddling" in counties and cities, waiting for opportunities. after the democratic progressive party's "national congress" in july, the "british faction" reversed its decline. instead, there were rumors that some "congressmen" from the current mainstream faction of the democratic progressive party had "defected themselves with guns."

zheng wencan, the former deputy head of taiwan's administrative agency, is deeply loved by tsai ing-wen and is known as the "big brother". he originally had a promising political momentum, but the corruption case he was involved in when he was mayor of taoyuan broke out, and it is difficult to make a comeback in the political arena. it is reported that zheng wencan vented his bitterness at a private party in early september. in addition to expressing his innocence, he also mentioned that his case was the reopening of an old case and that he was detained after multiple protests by taiwanese prosecutors. however, no one from the democratic progressive party was seen during this period of time. on the other hand, when ko wenzhe was detained, there were many "little grass" (young supporters of the people's party) to support him.

as the "eldest brother" is frozen, the "second brother" chen qimai is gaining momentum. after the mayor of kaohsiung resigns, he not only has the strong strength to control the military and taiwan authorities, but also is the successor to lai qingde in the democratic progressive party who can compete with the "righteous people". lin jialong, the current leader of the national congress and head of the taiwan authorities’ external affairs department, is the person to contend with. it is not difficult to see that chen qimai is currently "accumulating grain" in southern taiwan. sources within the democratic progressive party revealed that chen qimai has opened a net-zero academy in kaohsiung and requires all bureau chiefs of the kaohsiung city government to obtain certificates, which shows chen qimai's ambition to "compete in the central plains" to prepare for war. .

wang shijian is a "british" person who has a high voice in running for mayor of taipei. he often pretends to be a "crow" in the democratic progressive party to question lai qingde, and his voice remains high. the "british faction" believes that in special constituencies like taipei city, special forces like wang shijian are needed. and zhuang ruixiong invested in running taitung's difficult constituencies and established a service center on september 14. although taitung's basic base is blue rather than green, the democratic progressive party's liu chuhao was once elected to the democratic party. liu chuhao is a student of tsai ing-wen, and he was also invited by tsai ing-wen to join the "xiaoying foundation", which shows that the "english family" has a deep connection with taitung. if zhuang can stay in business and succeed, his political career will be promising.

in the democratic progressive party's "national congress" party position election in july, the "british faction" maintained its original seat. on the contrary, the "main congress" insisted on participating in the democratic progressive party's central standing committee because of the election of the democratic representative chen tingfei and chen's supporters. , which eventually led to the revision of the number of seats on the central standing committee of the democratic progressive party. this turning point brought the internal conflicts of the "major congress" to the surface.

people from the democratic progressive party pointed out that there have been two factions, lin jialong and you xikun, within the "main congress" for a long time. chen tingfei, taipei city councilors chen yijun, hong wanzhen and others mostly belong to the "pro-tourist faction" and are dissatisfied with the current decisions of lin jialong, the leader of the faction, and lin youchang, secretary-general of the democratic progressive party. he even complained privately that after "shuanglin" formed an alliance with lai qingde, "most of the people above him made a profit, but the rest were used as human-shaped sign-makers and tool men."

it is understood that chen yijun, who supports concubine chen ting, also appeared at the "english department" gathering in early september. senior executives of the "english department" said that chen yijun was not "job-hopping" but "returning". lin shizong, another taipei city councilor from the "official parliament", is friendly with wang shijian. he often jokingly calls them "strong ties" and also cooperates with the "british faction". in addition, it was reported that taichung city councilor he wenhai, who also supported chen's expulsion from the "main congress", and li tiansheng, who had a constituency dispute within the "main congress", were also included in the "british faction" forces.

people within the democratic progressive party said that the formation of the "british faction" at that time was actually a combination of common ideas, goals and interests. tsai ing-wen is the co-leader. as long as the principle of union is still there at that time, it will naturally not disappear because tsai ing-wen leaves office. people within the dpp also admitted frankly that factions within the party did criticize lai qingde's personnel appointments after taking office. they felt that there was no factional balance in the dpp central committee and the "cabinet", and the lack of checks and balances was against the dpp's culture. for example, when lai qingde appointed chen shikai as the head of taiwan's transportation department, the democratic progressive party's county and city party headquarters received endless calls to protest.

the former republican representative guo zhengliang once said that the appointment of chen shikai showed that lai qingde was self-centered and desperate, and the appointment of chen was the thing that hurt lai the most. guo zhengliang even bluntly said that even the green media could not stand lai qingde's style, and he once wrote an article to remind him. and if lai qingde continues like this, he may fall into a dilemma of being out of touch with reality because people around him dare not tell the truth.(straits herald taiwan reporter lin jingxian)
