[Reporter Shi Xiaoguang/Taipei Report] Hou Youyi, the mayor of New Taipei City, who is considered by the blue camp to be the strongest hen and the strongest candidate for the 2024 presidential election, has been declining recently in polls. The party has asked the Party Central Committee to recruit Hou Youyi as soon as possible. During the 65th anniversary celebration of the university, the interviewees responded that of course there will be different voices and opinions within the party, but the most important consideration for the party center is to create the most favorable conditions and remove obstacles in line with the subjective and objective environment of the "main candidate". It is the party's responsibility to win more support, and it is what it is currently trying to do.

Zhu Lilun also reminded the party, don't forget that the real opponent is the DPP, don't create more obstacles, exclude more friends, must remove all obstacles, win more friends.

KMT Secretary-General Huang Jianting met with Zhang Yazhong, the principal of Sun Wen School, who is seeking to be nominated for the presidential election. The media asked when the Party Central Committee will interview Hou Youyi and former Hon Hai Chairman Guo Taiming. Will Zhu Lilun meet in person?

Zhu Lilun only said that he maintains close contact with Hou Youyi, hoping to remove various obstacles in the process, gain various support, and help party candidates resolve various disputes. Huang Jianting will also call on Zhao Shaokang in addition to calling on Zhang Yazhong.

The media asked whether Guo Taiming would be the candidate for the evaluation?

Zhu Lilun did not respond positively, but only emphasized Guo Taiming's contribution to Taiwan's economy, technology, and public welfare. It is obvious to all that the Kuomintang regards Guo as an important part of the blue camp. We must unite all forces, not just Guo Taiming, but all non-green friends. We must also unite together to make the team stronger and strive to win the election in 2024.

In addition, the media also asked about the rumor that Hou Youyi had 3 phone calls with Zhu Lilun, and even apologized for posting an anti-black gold article. Zhu Lilun said that Hou Youyi kept in close contact with him. If the media wanted to ask how many phone calls he had, he could disclose that more More than 10 passes, he and Hou often discuss different issues. In the past few days, I also thank Hou Youyi for playing the role of the strongest hen and helping the local government resolve the problem of the primary election of party members. As a member of the committee, this is his responsibility. The local chiefs of the Blue Camp will assist in many local issues.

The green camp questioned that Hou Youyi was coordinating the primary election of the party's legislative committee in the New Taipei City government, and that the party and the government were not separated. It was natural to meet there.

Responding to Robert O'Brien, the former US White House national security adviser, who called on all Taiwanese to learn to use rifles, Zhu Lilun said that the Kuomintang emphasizes the "2D strategy". , It must be through exchanges and dialogues. If you continue to confront and fight against each other, you will let your children go to the battlefield and put Taiwan in danger. The KMT's "2D strategy" policy is the most stable and can bring peace across the Taiwan Strait.
