- 'Han tide' -
The 62-year-old has enjoyed a 素晴らしい rise in the last two years, 旅行ing from 親族 obscurity to become his party's 大統領の 候補者 in a 現象 that has been dubbed the "Han tide".
Some have に例えるd him to US 大統領 Donald Trump and other 人民党員 leaders who あられ／賞賛する from outside 設立 circles and 命令（する） a 熱烈な 投票者 base ブイ，浮標d by lofty 約束s of resurrecting their fortunes.
Han has been able to 召集（する） 抱擁する, enthusiastic （人が）群がるs during （選挙などの）運動をするing, where he has 公約するd to 回復する warm 関係 with Beijing and kickstart the economy.
He was a 親族 unknown until he 掴むd the Kaohsiung mayoralty in 地元の 選挙s last year, a shock 勝利，勝つ in the southern city that has long been a DPP 中心地域.
To become the KMT's 候補者, he saw off a challenge from Taiwan's richest man, 億万長者 Foxconn 創立者 Terry Gou.
But 憶測 is rife that Gou could run 独立して -- a move that would likely 分裂（する） the KMT 投票（する）, or team up with 独立した・無所属 Taipei 市長 Ko Wen-je for a 共同の （選挙などの）運動をする.
Shih Cheng-feng, a political 分析家 at 国家の Dong Hwa University, said Gou would 控訴，上告 to more "middle of the road and younger" 投票者s compared to Han.
"Gou could be an Achilles heel for him," he told AFP

It also pointed to 現在進行中の political 大混乱 in Hong Kong as an example of why 投票者s should remain distrustful of Beijing.
