He also used the analogy of Journey to the West, although Sun Wukong couldn't beat the monsters, so he swallowed them, but it was too difficult to digest.

[Central News Agency] Ke Wenzhe, chairman of Taiwan's People's Party, said today that the goals of running for the 2024 election are "new economy, new national defense, and new diplomacy", emphasizing that he has no willingness to form an alliance with the Kuomintang in opposition.

Ko Wenzhe also used the analogy of Journey to the West, pointing out that although Sun Wukong couldn't beat the monsters, he swallowed them, but he was too difficult to digest.

Huang Guochang, former legislator of Power of the Times, served as the substitute host of "POP Great People" today and interviewed Taiwan People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe.

Since Ke Wenzhe did not deny that he would participate in the 2024 presidential election, today's visit touched on many issues at the presidential level.

Huang Guochang asked when he would officially announce his candidacy for the 2024 president, and whether he would exchange views with the founder of Hon Hai Group, Terry Gou.

Ke Wenzhe replied that an announcement is required only if he is not elected, and he does not need to announce the election of the president; he has not discussed the topic of presidential election with Guo Taiming, but he has discussed Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan.

As for the possibility of "blue and white cooperation" or an opposition alliance, Ke Wenzhe said bluntly that he has no intention, at least not now; he also used the analogy of Sun Wukong, the protagonist of Journey to the West, as long as Sun Wukong can't beat monsters, "he will be swallowed by others", but he himself is too difficult to digest .

Talking about the characteristics of Taiwan's national leaders in the next stage, Ke Wenzhe believes that ideology should not be too much, and problems must be dealt with pragmatically. "It is useless to talk too much about politics."

Huang Guochang asked, what are the three things that Taiwan most needs to reform.

Ke Wenzhe called out the three goals of "new economy, new national defense, and new diplomacy." He believed that a balance should be achieved between China and the United States, and that defense policies must be pragmatic.

Ke Wenzhe said that the compulsory service was restored from four months to one year, and he thought, "Is this useful?" If the national defense is dominated by the navy and air force, it is useless to serve in the army for a year, because the navy and air force are high-tech arms.

Talking about constitutional reform, Ke Wenzhe bluntly said that the threshold for amending the constitution of the Republic of China is too high. Unless the revolution changes the name of the country and makes the constitution, there is no way to amend the constitution; Don't make a budget, or don't nominate candidates for the examination committee and supervisory committee.

Huang Guochang asked during the commercial time of the interview whether Gao Hongan would ask Ke Wenzhe for his opinion in promoting municipal administration; Ke Wenzhe responded, "rarely."

Huang Guochang asked, Gao Hongan seemed to be taken away by UMC honorary vice chairman Xuan Mingzhi; Ke Wenzhe said with a smile, "Yes, they have money, we don't!"
