Box Office Poison? Hsu Chih-jung: DPP Best Keep Believing Lies

Kuomintang (KMT) Chairwoman Hsu Chih-jung has strongly refuted suggestions that she is a "box office poison" for the opposition, asserting that the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) should continue to believe its own "lies."

Appearing alongside Taiwan People's Party (TPP) Chairman Huang Kuo-chang to support TPP candidate Chang Chi-kai in Chiayi City, Hsu dismissed the "box office poison" label, stating she is "not worried at all." She highlighted the significant public enthusiasm for the KMT across Taiwan since she took leadership, attributing this shift partly to dissatisfaction with the current administration. "Everyone really can't stand it anymore," she commented.

The DPP had best continue to believe the lies they have woven themselves.

Hsu questioned the current unity among opposition parties and the strong public sentiment against the ruling party. She urged the DPP to introspect, asking why a party in power for a decade has accumulated such widespread public resentment. She also criticized the current state of Taiwan, describing it as "chaotic" with constant internal conflict and "internal friction."

The KMT chairwoman further lamented the perceived erosion of democratic institutions in Taiwan, including the legislature, judiciary, and media, which she believes have been "lost."
