Tsai Ing-wen held a press conference to apologize
According to reports, Tsai Ing-wen said that the Taiwan Defense Department held a press conference yesterday (21st) to explain the preliminary investigation, and Yan Defa, the head of the Taiwan Defense Department, also "pleaded for punishment" from her. As the "Commander of the Three Armies", the affairs of the Taiwan Army are her responsibility. She apologized for the Taiwanese Navy's apology for such a big violation of epidemic prevention in this mission.
Tsai Ing-wen also said that she has asked Taiwan’s defense department not only to clarify the truth and correct the mistakes in the shortest time, but also to quickly make up for the epidemic prevention loopholes caused by this violation. Regarding the omissions in the Taiwan Navy in epidemic prevention, Tsai Ing- said that she has asked honesty as the highest principle. The Taiwan Defense Department also reviewed the four major shortcomings yesterday. This is just a preliminary investigation. After a complete investigation, she will never "protect her shortcomings."
While apologizing, Tsai Ing-wen did not forget to incite cross-strait confrontation, saying that in the face of the mainland's military actions during the epidemic, the Taiwan military stayed at its post and responded at any time. She asked the Taiwan military to defend Taiwan and the people not to relax for a moment, especially in the current situation in the Taiwan Strait, where the mainland is frequently in military action, and all necessary combat readiness training during the epidemic must be carried out to maintain normal combat power and combat readiness.
Some netizens on the island did not buy Tsai Ing-wen's rhetoric. Some people sarcastically said that Tsai Ing-wen’s so-called “never protects her shortcomings” means that the people below make mistakes have nothing to do with her. Someone asked back: What if it is Tsai Ing-wen himself? Furiously shirk the blame? Throw the "short" out? Some people said that Tsai Ing-wen is the "commander of the three armies" and she doesn't need to be approved by the warships when they go on a warship? If she doesn't know all this, then what is she already being undermined? ! Some people also believe that Tsai Ing-wen is "stabilizing the morale of the army" while "disturbing the hearts of the people."
