CCTV News: Taiwan Suhua Highway suffered a large-scale landslide on May 28, resulting in the interruption of two-way lane and was closed for three consecutive days. It was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and many people drove to Hualien to play. The road was blocked, resulting in a large number of tourists being trapped in Hualien. Local engineers in Taiwan have been repairing for several days and finally opened for a short period of 2 hours on the afternoon of May 31. Starting from June 1, it will be released in three periods every day.

After the landslide accident, Hualien County Mayor Fu Kunqi first criticized Tsai Ing-wen's authorities and transportation department officials, accusing him of not only not paying close attention to the island effect caused by the landslide to Hualien, but also failing to fulfill his pre-election commitment to build Hualien. Subsequently, Tsai Ing-wen's office pushed the responsibility to the Taiwan administrative agency, and the Taiwan administrative agency actually claimed that people could not fight against God, and pushed the responsibility to God... This is really "the big laziness supports the little ones, and the other is staring at him."
At the same time, He Chendan, the head of Taiwan's transportation department, who is the direct competent department of Suhua Highway, handles things in a hurry and has a slow pace, but his words are not forgiving. Taiwanese people questioned that he did not arrive at the scene when the accident occurred. He Chendan responded that the person was not present, which does not mean that he was not dealing with the matter. As soon as this remark was made, it attracted criticism from all parties.

The China Times commented that the head of the transportation department can understand the situation in a timely manner and solve the problem on the spot. On the one hand, it can calm the public's panic, and on the other hand, it can speed up the progress of the rescue project on the accident site. This is the most basic responsibility of local officials. However, He Chendan made mistakes in four days of the landslide accident, either confronting the public’s doubts or "shen Yin". Will such supervisors keep for the New Year if they don’t step down?
Taiwan's United Daily News published an editorial: One more way for Hualien people to go home safely. The article suggests that the Taiwan authorities and the Taiwan Transportation Department think about the possibility of developing maritime shipping, because the Suhua Highway itself is not safe and it will never solve the problem when it is repaired. With one more road, the personal safety of Taiwanese people will be more guaranteed.
From the landslide of the Suhua Highway in Taiwan, we saw the "good show" in Taiwan's political arena. When the person in charge of all parties encounters something, the first thing they think of is not how to deal with it, but how to "select" themselves from trouble. How can such an authority win the hearts of the people and how can the voices of the people in Taiwan be listened to?
