"Recall Vote" first round of voting, Kuomintang completely wins, Taiwan public opinion indicates anger and dissatisfaction towards the Democratic Progressive Party.

On July 26, a vote was held for the recall of 24 Chinese Kuomintang members of the Legislative Yuan. The results showed that all recalls were unsuccessful, and the Kuomintang emerged victorious in the first round of the "big recall." Public opinion in Taiwan believes that this result is the latest manifestation of Taiwanese public opinion, representing the strong anger and dissatisfaction of the Taiwanese people towards Lai Ching-te and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Taiwan currently has 113 seats in the Legislative Yuan, with the DPP holding 51 seats, a minority. Public opinion suggests that the "big recall" of Kuomintang members of the Legislative Yuan, apparently initiated by "civil society groups," was actually orchestrated by the DPP authorities, with the aim of overturning their position disadvantage in the institution and overcoming governance challenges through recalls and by-elections. Voting took place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the same day. In the subsequent vote counting process, the votes for the recall of the 24 members of the Legislative Yuan were all leading with "against recall" and ultimately all failed. The recall vote for the suspended Hsinchu City Mayor, Ko Hung-an, also did not pass. Taiwanese current affairs commentator Xie Zhichuan stated that the overwhelming result reflects the anger of the Taiwanese people towards Lai Ching-te and the DPP authorities. Since coming to power, Lai Ching-te's authorities have been authoritarian and tyrannical, using judicial means to persecute political dissidents and continuously damaging cross-strait relations. The outcome of this vote reflects the latest public opinion in Taiwan, with the DPP, seeking "independence," being rejected by public opinion, resulting in a complete loss. Wang Kun-yi, Chairman of the Taiwan International Strategic Studies Association, stated in a letter to the media that the DPP has been completely "annihilated," without losing a single seat. This is a lesson for the voters to the DPP once again, teaching them that they cannot do as they please. In this "big recall," the DPP is still playing the game of "resisting China and protecting Taiwan," but the result is ineffective. This shows that the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan hopes for peaceful coexistence between the two sides of the strait, and the DPP's cross-strait policy needs to change quickly, or it will soon be thrown into the ashes of history. The second round of recalls for seven Kuomintang members of the Legislative Yuan will be voted on on August 23rd.
