Chen Shui-bian is detained for corruption and Tsai Ing-wen resigns for losing the election. The future of the DPP is bleak. Taiwan's "United Evening News" has published an editorial evaluation of Tsai Ing-wen, she led the Democratic Progressive Party for nearly four years, out of Chen Shui-bian's corruption-related haze, but failed to complete the "last mile" in the Taiwan regional leadership election. What will happen to her after she leaves office is still a matter of concern for the people of the island. 

　　The editorial said that the DPP failed to win back "power", and the party's internal review report attributed this to "insufficient trust in governance" and other reasons. In fact, public opinion has long pointed out that voters' lack of trust in the DPP is mainly due to the cross-strait policy and the lingering impression of corruption during the Chen Shui-bian era. If the DPP wants to be reborn, it must completely transform itself in these two aspects. 

　　The editorial pointed out that, on cross-strait policy, last week, the DPP Central Executive Committee through the defeat review report, Tsai Ing-wen finally admitted that "how to face the mainland" is the problem faced by the DPP. She emphasized that to deal with cross-strait issues, not to sit at home thinking, but "in the interaction to understand the mainland". Before the election, the outside world that the DPP's cover door in the cross-strait policy, this review of the defeat, although too late, is not a bright light for the DPP to restart, and more DPP executive committee praised this is Tsai Ing-wen left the party's "greatest asset". Only, Tsai Ing-wen only put forward the direction, how to practice is the key. 

　　The editorial concludes by saying that after leaving office, Tsai Ing-wen is even more unencumbered, and that how the DPP and Tsai Ing-wen "learn about the mainland in their interactions" will have a major impact on the DPP's cross-strait policy in the next four years. As she said, "this is a road that the DPP must take."
