After the Democratic Progressive Party was defeated in the 2022 "nine-in-one" election in Taiwan, there have been constant calls on the island for the reorganization of the Taiwan authorities' administrative agencies.

On the 19th, Su Zhenchang announced that he would lead the team to resign after more than a month of "retention drama".

Once referred to as "the most hated political figure" on the island

　　In 2018, Su Zhenchang lost the mayoral election of New Taipei City, and formed a "loser's alliance" in the administrative agency. After that, Su Zhenchang "monopolized the power" until 2023. The epidemic made him a real decision-maker. Tsai Ing-wen hid herself from the media. , Su also showed his face in public.

　　As early as October 2020, a poll by the "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation" showed that Su Zhenchang was "the most hated political figure."

　　In this regard, You Yinglong, chairman of the "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation", analyzed why Su Zhenchang is "the most hated political figure" because "the tree attracts the wind".

In short, Tsai Ing-wen focused on defense and cross-strait affairs, and greatly reduced her attention to administrative affairs on the island to avoid being involved in the whirlpool. Su Zhenchang naturally became the target of public criticism.

　　As the head of the administrative agency with the longest single term and the longest overall term after the election of the leader of the Taiwan region, Su Zhenchang's coming to power and continuing to stay in office is full of power tension with Tsai Ing-wen; Obsession, and domineering personality.

　　Su Zhenchang is also the "Ge Kui" who knows how to ignite, set fire, and start fire everywhere.

Taiwan's "China Times" pointed out in an editorial on the 13th that Su Zhenchang is actually very domineering. When questioned by the legislature, it is commonplace to ask false questions and answer falsely. Arrogant and arrogant counter-questions are not uncommon, and even uttered bad words to representatives of public opinion.

　　Taiwanese media analyzed that Su Zhenchang will be in office for four years, and it will be a matter of time before he resigns, and there are signs to be found.

Tsai Ing-wen held a press conference at the end of December last year, and publicly recognized the deputy leader of Taiwan, Lai Ching-teh, as her successor. Su Zhenchang was not mentioned at all in the press conference, and Su Zhenchang knew it well.

Recently, "repaying taxes to the people" on the island has sparked heated discussions. Taiwan's administrative agency insisted on announcing that Tsai Ing-wen would "discover money" for the people. "It looks good, showing that the "Cai-Su relationship" has undergone subtle changes.

　　When rumors of resignation were raging, Su Zhenchang compared himself to Yuan Chonghuan in an interview with the media, and even asked, "Yuan Chonghuan is not dead, how did the Qing soldiers enter the customs?"

　　Regarding this, Wang Hongwei, a "legislator" of Taipei City, said that Su Zhenchang's comparison was very strange. He compared himself to Yuan Chonghuan. Isn't Tsai Ing-wen the same as Chongzhen?

Even Taipei City Councilor Wang Shijian from the Democratic Progressive Party said that Su Zhenchang has never been thorough in his reading and often gives wrong examples.

　　Since January 11 this year, there have been rumors of the reorganization of the Taiwan authorities' administrative agencies. The latest poll released by the "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation" on the 13th shows that 57% of the people are dissatisfied with the overall governance performance of Su Zhenchang's team, a record high since its establishment in January 2019. A new high record, and 21 percentage points more dissatisfied than satisfied.

　　You Yinglong said that this conveyed a clear and important message that Su Zhenchang's team has lost the affirmation and support of the vast majority of the public. There is no doubt that this is the "hottest moment among the people" in the four years since its administrative team was established.

When Su Zhenchang (second from left) was answering questions in the "Legislative Yuan", he scolded Zheng Liwen, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, who was dissatisfied and ran to the consultation desk to express his dissatisfaction.

The DPP "changed the soup but not the medicine"?

　　On January 15, Lai Qingde was elected chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party. He claimed that "the next step is the beginning of the DPP winning back the trust of the people." Taiwan's United Daily News recently published an article saying that Lai Qingde's becoming the chairman of the DPP is undoubtedly a source of pressure for the reorganization of the administrative organization .

There is a general consensus within the DPP that Su Zhenchang's four years in power have blocked the development of the DPP's Mesozoic generation.

　　The article mentioned that 2024 is just around the corner, and after the Lunar New Year, the Democratic Progressive Party will enter a period of fighting within the Democratic Progressive Party, and the primaries for regional leaders and representatives of public opinion will be undercurrents.

　　Taiwan's "China Times News Network" recently published a commentary pointing out that the fundamental problem of the DPP lies in self-alienation. The DPP's governance is facing a deep crisis, but key members of the party do not conduct in-depth self-examination, but instead look for scapegoats.

　　As for the successor, Youdao netizens think that they are all in the same category.

Netizens have said, "Take off the DPP and step down! Taiwan has a future", "As long as the DPP is in power, it doesn't matter whoever takes over", "No matter who takes over, it will be the caretaker cabinet", "Half a catty for eight taels".

There are also netizens who believe that "resignation of all is the real review", "the lesions are very deep", "change the soup but not the medicine".

　　Zhu Lilun, chairman of the Kuomintang, said that if Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP’s arrogance does not change, and they don’t know how to reflect and review, it will be the same whoever is in charge. In response to the previous rumors of the successor, Zhao Shaokang, a senior media person on the island, satirized that if Chen Jianren matched Zheng Wencan, it would be the same. A "cabinet" of marketing ("high-end vaccines") and fraud (plagiarism).

　　Zheng Liwen, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, said that the people's hatred for the Tsai authorities is getting higher and higher. Days are only seen as post-election garbage time".

Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: "Taiwan independence" diehards will be cast aside by the people and judged by history

　　In November 2021, Su Zhenchang, You Xikun, and Wu Zhaoxie were included in the list of "Taiwan independence" diehards by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.

　　Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at the time that for a period of time, Su Zhenchang and a very small number of "Taiwan independence" diehards have tried their best to instigate cross-strait confrontation, maliciously attack and slander the mainland, seek "independence" with bad words and deeds, and collude with external forces to split the country and seriously damage cross-strait relations. Seriously endanger the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, seriously damage the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.

　　She pointed out that this kind of "Taiwan independence" diehards are being warned that those who forget their ancestors, betray the motherland, and split the country will never end well and will be cast aside by the people and judged by history.

The mainland side will pursue criminal responsibility for "Taiwan independence" diehards in accordance with the law, valid for life.
