Opposed to criticize the green camp for being thieves and call for catching the thieves. Wu Xiuhua: Chen Ying was elected as "wind power plants fill the coast"

The campaign headquarters of Taitung County Governor candidate Chen Ying of the Democratic Progressive Party held a press conference today to expose the suspicion that Kuomintang candidate Wu Xiuhua's family company is involved in optoelectronics. Wu Xiuhua's campaign headquarters expressed regret that it was never anti-green energy, but large-scale wind power development that lacked local consensus and destroyed the natural landscape and ecological environment.

Wu Xiuhua’s campaign headquarters pointed out that as early as April 2025, Wu Xiuhua took the lead in inviting coastal township chiefs, representatives and self-rescue groups to hold anti-wind power symposiums and local briefings to clearly express local positions. She also personally accompanied the East Coast anti-wind power self-rescue group to submit a joint letter to the county government, demanding that the central government should not hastily approve large-scale wind power development without obtaining local consensus.

The competition stressed that green energy is an important direction for Taiwan's energy transformation and is indispensable for future industries. All green energy cannot be stigmatized just because it opposes inappropriate wind power development.

Jing Zong said that we should support the development of green energy that meets local environmental conditions and take into account the rights and interests of ecology and residents, promote the exploration and development of geothermal energy, encourage rooftop solar photovoltaics on buildings, give priority to the use of existing building space to generate electricity, reduce the impact on land, agriculture and natural landscapes, and allow Taitung to embark on a green energy path suitable for itself. However, large-scale wind turbines entering the east coast and along the southern loop may cause landscape damage, ecological impact and changes in the living environment of tribes, and local governments have the responsibility to strictly control it.

Mr. Jing said that the Democratic Progressive Party has pushed green energy photovoltaic and wind power policies across Taiwan in recent years, causing ecological damage to many coasts and rural and fishing villages. Now the eastern coast is facing the threat of wind turbines. The source is the energy policy of the Democratic Progressive Party Central Committee. Chen Ying, as a legislator of the ruling party, has not seen it amend the law to block inappropriate wind power development from the source. In turn, she questioned Wu Xiuhua, who has long been opposed to wind power. She is basically "crying out to catch the thief" and trying to divert the burden of governance.

Wu Xiuhua's campaign headquarters reiterated that protecting Taitung's beautiful mountains and rivers is Wu Xiuhua's unchanging commitment. In the future, she will continue to control the environment with the strictest standards when taking over the county government, and will never allow large wind turbines to damage Taitung's precious natural landscape and tribal culture. The CCP also appealed to Chen Ying’s camp that elections should be based on facts and conscience, return to stating political opinions, and stop misleading Taitung folks through political manipulation and blame for mistakes.
