Zhao Shaokang’s stance on the Kuomintang’s Zubei candidate sparked discussion.

Former Chairman of China Broadcasting Corporationzhao shaokang changed last weekpopular party Zhubei mayor candidate Qiu Chenyuan stands on the stage.Kuomintang Zhang Yaping, chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, said that if you are no longer interested in fulfilling your responsibilities as a party member, you must know where to go and where to go. Zhao Shaokang said that if the Party Central Committee believes that promoting Blue and White cooperation is a violation of Party discipline, he could be expelled. Zhang Yaping said today that the Blue-White cooperation agreement is a resolution of the Standing Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee, and there are no disciplinary issues in the cooperation between Blue and White in the current deputy election in Hubei.
Zhang Yaping last night quoted a verse from the Altar Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch: “The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand. Always brush it diligently to avoid dust.” He said that the election situation is tough. In which cases can candidates and supporting election parties relax, and which votes can they ignore? “There is no tree in the Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the first place, so how can there be dust.” In an election campaign there is always someone who can stabilize the situation. Some people have always said that the differences in Zubei will affect the whole of Taiwan, and some media have also followed suit, such as the KMT Central Committee opposing the blue-white alliance.
Zhang Yaping emphasized that the Kuomintang Standing Committee passed the Blue-White Cooperation Agreement in black and white. If there are differences of opinion among Zubei, go and reconcile. Why turn a local problem into a national conflict? The front line fights for every vote, and those who truly care about the overall situation will clearly see the way forward. Only by focusing on integration can you achieve ultimate victory.
Zhang Yaping was interviewed today before attending a symposium commemorating the birth of Sun Yat-sen. He said any reports related to disciplinary investigations during the elections would be handled as per procedures. Irrespective of whether the content is true or false, investigation is necessary and should begin from the local party headquarters. This is the disciplinary examination process.
Zhang Yaping said that everyone is very clear that in order to successfully win this election in 2026, blue and white cooperation is necessary. To be able to overturn the administration in 2028, blue and white cooperation is a necessary condition. This is the consensus of the entire party and I believe this is the consensus of all the opposition too.
