TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Political figures from the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) have stirred public speculation by using symbolic references to a "train" to hint at an eventual Blue-White Coalition.

TPP presidential candidate Ko Wen-je shared a photo on his Facebook page on Saturday (Nov. 4), showing him enjoying a Taiwan Railways boxed lunch during a ride on the Puyuma Express from Taitung to Fangliao. His caption conveyed a sense of relaxation and contentment.

 


In contrast, a few days ago, on Thursday, KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih caught considerable attention when he declared, "the train will not wait for those who are late," urging Ko to make a prompt decision regarding their collaboration. This statement quickly became the subject of public discourse and intrigue.

Responding to Hou's comment, KMT chairman Eric Chu attempted to defuse the situation by stating, "the train has not even arrived at the station yet," suggesting that there's more to unfold in this political journey.

Throughout his journey, Ko maintained his characteristic composure, promptly tending to his duties before moving on to the next agenda. His choice to travel by train received positive feedback and support from internet users.
 


The metaphor of the "train" has taken on significant political symbolism, sparking curiosity and discussions on various social media platforms. The development of the Blue-White Coalition continues to be closely monitored and remains an evolving storyline in Taiwan's political landscape.
