[Global Times Comprehensive Report] After the "nine in one" defeat, Tsai Ing-wen became the target of public criticism, and Lai Qingde was also ready to move.

　　According to Taiwan's United News Network and other media reports on the 5th, after Tsai Ing-wen resigned as the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai acted as the chairman of the party.

After many consultations and considerations, Lai Qingde has already stated to Tsai Ing-wen that he has decided to serve as the party chairman himself and will do his best to prepare for the 2024 Taiwan leadership election.

However, Lai Qingde's office stated on the afternoon of the 5th that many people have indeed been persuaded to join the company recently, but Lai has not made any decisions yet.

　　China Times reported that Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan, who was originally coordinated by the DPP to be recognized by all factions, took over as the party chairman. Unexpectedly, his National Taiwan University degree was revoked due to plagiarism, which also put a big question mark on his succession.

In this regard, there are different opinions within the green camp.

Chen Tingfei, the "legislator" of the Democratic Progressive Party, believes that Zheng Wencan has apologized for the paper, and every point is equal to one point.

Shi Mingde, the former chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that if Lai Qingde wants to be elected in 2024, he should run for the party chairman first this time.

Hong Qichang, a former "legislator" of the DPP, said that it is not suitable for Lai Qingde to run for the chairmanship of the party at this time. He should show a greater pattern and confidence. Let Zheng Wencan lead the DPP during the transition period, which will help to unite.

Xu Xinliang, former chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, believes that Lai and Zheng are on the DPP's "dream list" for 2024.

　　But obviously the public opinion on the island is not optimistic.

According to Lianhe News, the people have clearly expressed their position in the "nine-in-one" election, and how to maintain peaceful cross-strait relations is definitely the most important issue in 2024.

As for Lai Ching-te, who claims to be a "pragmatic Taiwan independence worker", if he fails to propose specific measures to break the ice in cross-strait relations, he may still fail to pass the test of Taiwan voters.
