Why It Matters
The report is based on polling data released by the "Beautiful Island Electronic News" and reflects the political offense and defense between candidates during the Hsinchu County Magistrate election.
According to a political figure favorability poll released by the "Beautiful Island Electronic News" on the 12th, DPP Hsinchu County Mayor candidate Zheng Chaofang topped the list with 64.0% favorability, while Kuomintang Hsinchu County Mayor candidate Xu Xinying ranked first with 23.1%. In response, Zheng Chaofang's campaign office responded today by saying that it would like to thank the county residents and friends for their recognition and favor. Zheng Chaofang has proven himself with his political achievements and will respond to the expectations of the county residents with serious work in the future.
Xu Xinying said in an interview today that instead of focusing on favorability, people's dislike of money-power politics is the issue that politicians should pay most attention to. "I also believe that the people of Hsinchu County are absolutely unwilling to return to the path of family interest control."
Su Aiting, spokesperson of Zheng Chaofang's campaign office, said that she would like to thank the friends of the county residents for their affirmation and good impression of Zheng Chaofang. This shows that the people will see the hard work, and bringing about changes must be seen. The bottomless smear and political slander are also seen by the people, and the credibility needs to withstand the test.
Su Aiting said that Zheng Chaofang also invited all the folks in the county to come to Xinyueshawan on September 20 to participate in the "Listen to the Sea Rooftop and Carousel Romantic Ocean Concert" to enjoy the sea breeze, listen to music, and see the beautiful coast of Hsinchu County.
In response to Xu Xinying's response, DPP Hsinchu County Councilor Ouyang Ting asked, if Councilor Xu Xinying really hates "family politics and money-power politics," she should first turn around and examine the Kuomintang to which she belongs. The lineup nominated by the Kuomintang in every county and city in Taiwan can be seen everywhere the shadow of local factions and the second generation of politicians. Using this double standard of being strict with others and lenient with yourself to fight the election will only highlight your own political calculations.
Ouyang Ting bluntly said that voters have sharp eyes, and the real money-power politics lies in the Hsinchu County Government. Commissioner Xu keeps saying that he will "seamlessly succeed Yang Wenke." Does he also want to take over the work together with the corruption of the Director of Public Works and the collusion between government and businessmen that is deeply hated by the county people, such as the Zhubei Tiankeng case? What Hsinchu County needs is to completely say goodbye to corruption and laziness, rather than seamlessly integrating with the old system.
DPP Hsinchu County Councilor Cai Yuxi pointed out that Zhubei City is a city with a high proportion of immigrants in the country. With the younger population and changes in the voter structure, the stereotype of politicians has long been given a new interpretation. Judging from the results of this poll, Zheng Chaofang's policies have won the support of more than half of young voters. In the future, she will work with the DPP team to uphold the spirit of "integrity, diligence, and love for the country" and continue to work hard in Hsinchu County.
