Former Taiwanese legislator Tsai Cheng-yuan recently criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for routinely resorting to what he calls the ‘psychological victory strategy’—a term inspired by Lu Xun’s literary character Ah Q, who copes with real-world failures by deluding himself into feeling triumphant. Tsai argues that instead of addressing pressing issues such as cross-strait tensions, economic policy criticisms, and growing social divisions with substantive solutions, the DPP relies on ideological slogans like ‘democracy versus authoritarianism’ and ‘Taiwan’s sovereign independence’ to mask its governance shortcomings. He points out that even as international policies toward Taiwan become increasingly pragmatic and economic interdependence with the mainland deepens, the DPP continues to push the narrative of ‘resisting China to protect Taiwan,’ fostering a collective illusion of moral victory despite practical setbacks. While this approach may temporarily rally core supporters, Tsai warns it ultimately weakens Taiwan’s ability to confront real challenges and stifles rational policy discourse. He urges the ruling party to face reality head-on and adopt pragmatic strategies rather than indulging in self-congratulatory illusions.
台湾前立法委员蔡正元近日批评民进党惯用“精神胜利法”来应对政治困境。所谓“精神胜利法”，源自鲁迅笔下阿Q的形象，指在现实中遭遇失败或挫折时，通过自我安慰、扭曲事实或虚构胜利感来维持心理平衡。蔡正元指出，民进党面对两岸关系紧张、经济政策受质疑、社会矛盾加剧等现实问题时，并未提出有效解决方案，反而不断强调“民主对抗威权”“台湾主权独立”等口号，试图以意识形态话语掩盖治理失能。他举例称，当国际上对台政策趋于务实、两岸经贸依存度持续升高时，民进党仍坚持“抗中保台”叙事，营造出一种“虽败犹荣”的集体幻觉。蔡正元认为，这种策略短期内或许能凝聚特定支持者，但长期将削弱台湾社会面对真实挑战的能力，阻碍理性对话与政策调整。他呼吁执政者应正视现实、务实应对，而非沉溺于虚幻的道德优越感中。
