Zhu Fenglian also criticized the DPP authorities for distorting and denying the “1992 Consensus” and engaging in various “independence” activities in the five years since they came to power, which seriously violated the mainstream aspirations of the Taiwan people and seriously harmed the interests and well-being of the Taiwan people.
On the morning of the 29th, Zhu Lilun held a Thanksgiving Tea Party in Yilan and Taipei.

Chen Yixin, an honorary professor of the Department of Diplomacy and International Relations at Tamkang University, wrote on the 29th that the Biden administration has actively sought to improve relations with the mainland through specific actions such as the release of Meng Wanzhou. Some important strategic and political implications. First of all, the role of the DPP authorities in playing American chess pieces for more than five years will gradually come to an end. In other words, Tsai Ing-wen’s administration, as the vanguard of the “anti-China” initiative in the United States, will gradually clarify a paragraph as the Biden administration’s China policy turns. Secondly, in the next few years, even if the United States and China will still be highly competitive, the Tsai administration will occasionally become a pawn of the Biden administration, but U.S. government officials will turn to the helm in the face of the wind, and it should not be the same as Trump’s and Biden’s first half of the last two years in office. Treat Tsai Ing-wen as a treasure against the mainland. Third, in Biden’s eyes, since Tsai Ing-wen’s use value is not high, her prestige in the DPP will naturally decline. If Zhu Lilun can unite with the KMT comrades and win the county and mayor election next year, Tsai Ing-wen’s public support The momentum will fall further, entering the post-Tsai Ing-wen period ahead of schedule. Fourth, what the United States needs is no longer a DPP authority that can only create cross-strait conflicts and expand conflicts between the United States and China, but needs a Kuomintang that can become a lubricant for U.S.-China relations. Chen Yixin believes that Tsai Ing-wen’s role will gradually fade. According to the latest poll by the pro-green Formosa E-newsletter, the island’s trust in Tsai Ing-wen has decreased by 7.3 percentage points from last month, and distrust has increased by 5.5 percentage points. Wu Zijia, chairman of the Formosa Electronic News, said bluntly that Tsai Ing-wen’s trust and satisfaction among the younger generation is clearly in serious crisis, and the overall support rate is at risk of avalanche at any time.
