台海观澜 | 国民党主席应是没有杂质的“纯蓝人”

Group 1 - The Kuomintang (KMT) is set to hold a new party chair election on October 18, with several candidates announced, including Zheng Liwen, Luo Zhichang, Zhang Yachung, Zhuo Boyuan, Zhang Yaping, and Sun Jianping, while current chairman Zhu Lilun has called for Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan to run but has been publicly rejected [2] - The next KMT chairman is expected to be a "pure blue" individual, a concept inspired by Taiwan's leader Lai Qingde, who aims to eliminate "impurities" from the political landscape [3][4] - The KMT is perceived as a mixed party, and there is a pressing need for a leader who can guide the party out of its current predicament [6][7] Group 2 - A core issue for the KMT chairman is the adherence to the "One China" principle and recognition of the "1992 Consensus," as past chairmen have shown inconsistency, contributing to the party's decline [8] - Among the candidates, Zheng Liwen has publicly identified as Chinese, stating she would respond as "I am Chinese from Taiwan" when asked about her nationality [8] - The KMT's internal culture, referred to as "jar culture," has led to a lack of genuine leadership and has stifled talent development, which needs to be addressed for the party's revival [9][12] Group 3 - The next KMT chairman should possess strong combativeness, as a weak leader has historically been a common issue for the party [12] - Luo Zhichang has made a public commitment that if elected, he will not run in the 2028 elections and will support Lu Xiuyan, demonstrating a selfless and pure approach [10][11]
