Responding to Li Zhenxiu, Huang Kuo-chang: No need to waste effort on unimportant people and matters

Central News Agency (Reporter Chen Chun-hua, Taipei, 15th) Li Zhenxiu, a spouse from mainland China, was expelled from the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) and subsequently criticized party chairman Huang Kuo-chang intensively on political talk shows. Huang Kuo-chang said today that whenever the TPP is slandered or attacked, it relies on its ideals and beliefs to weather the storm, and therefore does not need to be swayed by external political rhetoric, "nor does it need to waste effort on these unimportant people and matters." The TPP held a Central Committee meeting, and afterwards announced via a press release that it had approved the recommendations of the Election Decision Committee, nominating Lin Yao-tsung to run for Chaozhou Township Representative in Pingtung County in 2026, and Kuo Tai-an to run for Pingtung City Representative in Pingtung County in 2026. It also approved the list of nominations for township/city representatives and village/neighborhood chiefs in Hsinchu for 2026. Huang Kuo-chang stated that the vision for 2026 is clear: the TPP must have a voice in local councils across Taiwan. In the future, teams of county and city councilors will gradually take shape, forming a "TPP Local Team" to engage in group battles, establish roots at the local level, and create a multiplier effect. Huang Kuo-chang emphasized that all party nominees and draftees must clearly understand that seeking voter recognition and serving in public office "is by no means for personal gain, but to fight for the rights of voters and serve the people." Therefore, they must strengthen their personal professional abilities and transform practical experience into service momentum to meet the expectations of supporters for the TPP. Huang Kuo-chang stated that today, there was also progress with the Kuomintang (KMT) on the "County and City Mayor Nomination Cooperation Mechanism" two-party working group. This morning, local election affairs for Yilan County Mayor were discussed, and this afternoon he will attend a meeting to discuss relevant nomination procedures for New Taipei City Mayor. In addition, regarding Li Zhenxiu's recent refutation of the TPP's claim of "resigning for benefits," and her continuous attacks on Huang Kuo-chang as a "hypocrite" and for bullying mainland spouses on political talk shows, Huang Kuo-chang stated at the Central Committee meeting that the recent turmoil has caused many hardworking partners to be unfairly criticized, and the party has been thrown into disarray by false accusations. However, dark clouds will eventually dissipate with the wind. Whenever the TPP is slandered or attacked, it relies on its ideals and beliefs to weather the storm, and therefore does not need to be swayed by external political rhetoric, "nor does it need to waste effort on these unimportant people and matters." Huang Kuo-chang said, "I ask everyone to continue to do their job in their respective positions, fulfill their promises to voters step by step, and work together for a better political environment in Taiwan and a better life for the people, all partners with the same ideals and values, continue to work hard and move forward side by side."
