After Tsai Ing-wen took office as Taiwan region's leader in 2016, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) she leads has only brought chaos and absurdity to the southeast China's island region. After Lai Ching-te resigned on January 11, Su Tseng-chang was sworn in as the head of Taiwan's administrative authority three days later.

Although the "new cabinet" has changed its members, the policy remains the same, and there is little chance that Tsai Ing-wen will accept the one-China principle because all the members in this new "cabinet" are old faces from Taiwan region's former leader Chen Shui-bian's faction, who is an advocate of so-called "Taiwan independence". Most of them also support such an idea. As a result, with a focus far away from economic development, the DPP will find it difficult to satisfy the local people's expectations, and its failure in the local election at the end of 2018 is a vivid example. 

Joanna Lei, a former local "legislator", claimed that local newspapers showed little respect to this reshuffled "cabinet", she told CGTN's "Dialogue" program that a local newspaper used "Hui guo rou" (a kind of traditional Chinese food, meaning twice cooked meat) to describe the new body.

She also pointed out that Su Tseng-chang used to be a prominent politician but due to DPP's recent electoral defeat, he will not challenge Tsai's position. However, what concerns the Chinese mainland is that all the members in the "cabinet" are advocates of "Taiwan independence".

Huang Jing, the dean of the Institute for International and Regional Studies at the Beijing Language and Culture University, claimed that the DPP is ideologically driven rather than policy driven. After Tsai Ing-wen took office, the island region's poor economic performance failed to meet the people's need. The reshuffle of the "cabinet" doesn't do any help for her to escape this dilemma.

Talking about the relationship between the DDP and the Kuomintang (KMT), the opposition party, Zhong Houtao, a research fellow from the Taiwan Studies Institute said that the new "cabinet", instead of being called "the losers' union" should be called "the Avengers' union" because 15 out of 25 cities and counties in Taiwan are controlled by the KMT, and the DPP controls the central authority, and there will be a great conflict between the DDP and the KMT"

As a result, a fight between two parties will consume a lot of energy which could otherwise be used in developing the local economy.
