You have a good point. Even within DPP there are many different subgroups that fight one another fiercely, for example the new DPP chief Lai is from a different subgroup from English Tsai’s, they dunt like each other politically.

Indeed. This William Lai is an interesting chameleon: IIRC he launched his career under the wings of hardcore pro-independence DPP elders who are even more extremist than Chen Tsui Bian and at one point even audaciously declared himself as someone dedicated to a lifelong career of seeking Taiwanese independence.

However during his contest with Tsai for DPP leadership in 2019(?) out of the blue he suddenly pushed for a totally different narrative from the established DPP one by claiming he wanted to make peace with China in order to protect Taiwan. This was in total opposition to Tsai's then election call of whipping up Taiwanese patriotism by resisting China.

Now that Tsai has pivoted to what is traditional KMT territory of ROC status quo without reunification, I was mildly surprised that he actually continued Tsai's policy of status quo in his first proclamation as DPP leader by suing for peace with China through what is essentially Ma Ying Jeou's 3 No policy.

Looks to me there is no more Green-Blue divide in Taiwan anymore, everyone is essentially a White with a tinge of mild Blue now. Weird.
