Hsu was closely associated with the pan-blue camp over the past few years, particularly during the anti-Chen Shui-bian campaign in August 2006 initiated by former DPP chairman Shih Ming-teh (施明德). Hsu’s endorsement of Hsieh in the run-up to March’s presidential election was as an apparent move away from the pan-blue camp.
Hsu reportedly had asked Tsai yesterday “to return his old party card,” indicating Hsu’s willingness to rejoin the party.
