District elections are highly politicized

As for the establishment defeated in the district elections, Liang Zhenying analyzed that the Democrats won 57% of the total votes in the elections and won only in the single-seat, single-vote system. Democrats should not overstate the election results. He pointed out that this district election was highly politicized. Voters voted on a political stance rather than based on the candidate's regional work. He hoped that the democrats would not be overwhelmed.

When Liang Zhenying left, he was asked if he would worry about being sanctioned by the United States. He left without responding.
