Hou Youyi, the mayor of New Taipei, Taiwan, as the presidential candidate called by the Kuomintang, is obliged to preach the party's political platform and policies, such as identifying the 1992 consensus, opposing Taiwan independence, and opposing one country and two systems.manner.Relative to the DPP presidential candidate Lai Qingde, Lai Qingde clearly opposed the 1992 consensus and labeling 1992 consensus is one country, two systems. The cross -strait policy proposal proposed by Hou Youyi is relatively wide.Under a Republic of China ", the substantial content of the policy is slightly empty.
Hou Youyi was recruited by the Kuomintang, and he rarely put forward specific discussions on cross -strait policies and issues.Looking at the discussions of the cross -strait and international affairs before nomination, he was too vague and unclear. Compared with the people's party, Ke Wenzhe proposed "a family on both sides of the strait", he expressed his insistence on the consensus on the 1992 consensus of the mainland.Cross -strait discussion; Lai Qingde advocated not recognizing the 1992 consensus, and clearly denied the 1992 consensus, and vaguely proposed Taiwan's independence (advocating pragmatic Taiwan independence and illegal Taiwan independence).
It is very clear that in terms of the political spectrum arrangement and space of various policies of political parties, it is clear that Hou must propose that "Taiwan is actually a country with sovereignty independence" and "pragmatic Taiwan independence" discussions.Only strategically and clearly expressed adherence to the 1992 consensus, and can provide collective incentives in the election market. On the basis of consolidating the basic votes of pan -blue, actively attract middle voters and obtain the goal of voting greatly through splitting strategies.
The cross -strait discussion and routes proposed by Hou Youyi have fallen into the dilemma of hollowing up. Although they are resorted to the Constitution of the Republic of China and opposed Taiwan independence, opposing one country, two systems, the discussion and route are quite conservative, and the connotation of the discussion is too hollow, forming another form of ""Hou Hou" is like "hollow Cai".The Kuomintang has the party's party constitution and policies, but it is not brave to expose the banner and insist on the 1992 consensus. This is difficult to inspire the enthusiasm of pan -blue supporters.
Hou Youyi's conservative cross -strait discussion has almost differentiated his claims with other political parties. Whether it is Ke Wenzhe and Lai Qingde, they have proposed the basis and follow the Constitution, and call for the existence of the Republic of China. They also oppose one country and two systems.Even the leaders have proposed to handle cross -strait affairs in accordance with the constitution of the Republic of China and the Cross -Strait People's Relations; former President Chen Shui -bian has proposed to respond to the "one China principle" in the mainland as the Constitution of the Republic of China;The various statements of the "Constitution Together" and "Constitution" and "Constitution Consensus" are more specific, but these discussions are more specific, but in fact, it does not help alleviate the tension between the two sides of the strait.
The key is that the presidential candidates of each party have proposed to return to the Constitution and oppose one country, two systems.Ke Wenzhe maintained vague demands and affirmed the "cross -strait family". It did not propose Taiwan's independence and captured light green, light blue and middle voters; Lai Qingde clearly defined "both the two sides of the strait are not affiliated with each other" and "pragmatic Taiwan independence".Green and pan -green voters; if Hou Youyi continues to discuss on both sides of the strait to maintain blurring, it is not easy to achieve deep blue support; and he must compete with Ke Wenzhe to compete with light blue and middle voters, which will not be conducive to voting the goal.
Compared to Lai Qingde's distinctive platform, Hou is too cautious about cross -strait relations, not sticking to a pot, and a subtle and ambiguous exposition.Although this can strive for the switching support of the light green people in the south, it has lost the basic masses of the pan -blue basic community and lost its own position.
As the mayor of New Taipei, the largest local princes of the Kuomintang, Hou has served the police for a long time, which is conducive to creating a tough guy to defend the country's country and the safe property of the people's life.The background is unlike Ke Wenzhe criticized the issues of national defense, diplomacy and cross -strait affairs, especially the entangled US -China triangle relationship.Ke Wenzhe has proposed the "one -five -five views" and "no two Chinese theories" and promoting cross -strait city exchanges, which will also highlight the lack of cross -strait discussion and practice.
Hou Youyi can be re -elected as the mayor of New Taipei and obtained the highest voting, showing that he was well affirmed in cities and internal affairs.He declared opposition to Taiwan independence and one country, two systems, and declared that "the Republic of China is the legal name of the country"; at the same time, he refused to split the country with ideology, or disconnected to make the country's internal confrontation. This defending the Republic of China is worthy of recognition.However, these claims seem to be inadequate to restart the interviews and negotiations on both sides of the strait.Guanzhi Guo Taiming's discussions on the two sides of the strait have the places of full mirrors, which will not only help restart cross -strait negotiations, but also help the establishment of a peaceful and stable relationship structure on both sides of the strait.
Guo Taiming advocates the consensus of 1992, opposes Taiwan independence and oppose the one country, two systems, advocates returning to the common political foundation of cross -strait coexistence, and proposed the "cross -strait state of peace".Balance cross -strait and international strategies, and use negotiations to create more peaceful possibilities; cross -strait cannot start negotiation and communication, and will lack the possibility of peace.Needless to say, Tsai Ing -wen denied the 1992 consensus and has proven to be unable to restore cross -strait negotiations. It is difficult to highlight cross -strait governance capabilities, and it has also caused Taiwan to fall into the risk of fierce war.
Now Lai Qingde has denied the 1992 consensus. Once it is in power, it will not be able to solve the state of stalemate on both sides of the strait, and it may fall into a vicious circle.If Hou Youyi's cross -strait discussion can absorb Guo Taiming's claim, it can not only alleviate the doubts of the pan -blue, to expand the support of the masses, but also to eliminate conservatives and difficulty in highlighting the governance capabilities of cross -strait.Hou Youyi's cross -strait discussion and routes do not need to be demanded. As long as you return to the existing party's political platform and claims, you can solve it.
