Font size

Kuomintang Taitung County Mayor candidate Wu Xiuhua announced a number of women's policies today. Chen Lingyan, wife of former Taitung County Mayor Huang Jianting, praised her as a "warm political leader." Wu Xiuhua did not respond to Lvying's question this morning about her family's involvement in the optoelectronics industry. She followed the previous press release issued by the competition administration and said, "I am the first to speak out against wind power." Regarding this, Chen Ying pointed out dissatisfiedly, "Is it amnesia? We opposed it together and even took a group photo together."

After Wu Xiuhua's press conference on women and children, she was asked about external doubts and refused to respond as "it has nothing to do with the content of the press conference." When the reporter asked, "Last year, Chen Ying actually joined you in opposing wind power." Wu Xiuhua said, "I forgot. I just remember that I was the first one to come out and oppose it." After Chen Ying learned about it, she said, "Is wind power a fig leaf for the Wu family?" She asked Optoelectronics and answered wind power. She also opposed Taitung offshore wind power back then. "We even took pictures together. Have we lost our memory?"

This morning, Green Camp questioned the Wu Xiuhua family’s involvement in Taitung’s optoelectronics industry. There are many family companies. Among them, the representative of “CICC Energy” is Wu Junli’s nephew Zheng Weiren. The founder Yang Zheming’s father Yang Zhiqiang was also involved in the Tainan Speaker bribery case. Yang Zheming’s brother Yang Menghan serves as a director of another Wu family company “Orange Mountain Company”. Another director is Du Kaizhao, chairman of “Yuxuan Green Energy Company”. “Yuxuan” is also related to the “88 shooting case” that year.

Green Camp wants Wu Xiuhua to clarify his relationship with the optoelectronic company. If he is in power in the future, will he be able to contract a large number of optoelectronic projects in the public sector? Wu Xiuhua, the president-elect, issued a document accusing Chen Ying and Green Camp of "wind power projects destroying the sealine ecology" and "Chen Ying did not stop it at the central level, but Wu Xiuhua opposed it at the local level."

Wu Xiuhua announced six major women's policies at a press conference today, putting forward political opinions on child care, maternal and child safety, women's employment, health, etc. Chen Lingyan, who has always focused on family-related policies, was invited to give a speech. She was very happy when she received Wu Xiuhua's invitation. When she saw the policies, she thought she was a "warm political leader" and "there should be no turbulence in elections."

Open Questions

  • What is the actual relationship between the Wu Xiuhua family and the Optoelectronics Company?
  • Will it contract for photovoltaic projects in the public sector in the future?

To prevent the armed police from monitoring the concert, Lai Ruilong and Ke Zhien choked each other, "Say one thing and do another."

Ke Chi-en's campaign headquarters countered, pointing out that Lai Ruilong used to push Kaohsiung's direct flight to Beijing and participate in the Strait Forum, but now criticizes the United Front. Lai Cai is really saying one thing and doing another.
