Since taking office, tensions across the Taiwan Strait have intensified. Ahead of the DPP's Central Standing Committee election on July 21, concerns arise as DPP legislator Chen Ting-fei independently runs for the position and suggests presidential candidate Lai Ching-te intervene to prevent internal division. Former legislator Guo Zheng-liang speculates that Lai Ching-te's next step is to secure 50% of the votes and vie for re-election in 2028, solely aiming to recover from the significant loss in 2022. Guo suggests that Lai is betting on avoiding war and creating internal unity, focusing on securing votes rather than independence. Guo also highlights the dependency of Lai's decisions on U.S. President Biden being in power, predicting potential backlash if Trump were to win.
