He urged her to 'take her parents' words seriously.' Meanwhile, Xie reaffirmed her determination to seek the nomination.
In a radio interview, Xiao said that while Xie is a strong candidate, her family opposes her run.

Xiao, who has a three-generation friendship with the Xie family, stated that no matter who leads the party, it won't help if the family doesn't support the campaign. He believes her parents are making a painful but reasonable decision for her future.
