I agree with GreenWater. DPP seems to have the upper hand, they are very unapologetic with their messaging: “open up to the world first, then to China”, typical neoliberal stance but definitely more appealing to the younger progressive base, whereas the KMT has the opposite stance and more vague messaging.
KMT’s Hou seems to be on the reactive mode right now, with his “I’m the true patriot, I promise I will not sell out Taiwan” affirmation, which appears to suggest that pro-China stance is rather poisonous with the voting base. Even if KMT wins, they will still have to tread carefully with their policies regarding China.
