Taiwan Zhongshi News Network and United News Network reported that Democratic Progressive Party Taipei Mayor candidate Chen Shizhong revealed in his new book that he had applied for a US green card when he was studying in the Dentist Department of Taipei Medical University, and when he was admitted to the dentist license, he also obtained the green card. Chen Shizhong claimed in an interview on the 17th that he did not continue to handle the matter in order to "stay in Taiwan". In response, Kuomintang "legislator" Lai Shibao criticized Chen Shizhong for his statement that he was tying the United States to respect himself, as if he wanted to tell voters that "I could be an American, but I chose to be a Taiwanese" and use a green card to scare people.
According to Zhongshi News Network, Chen Shizhong mentioned in his new book that after being admitted to Taipei Medical University dentistry, "My father has many relatives living in the United States, so I applied for a green card." When I was taking the dentist license before retiring from the army, I also applied for a green card. When asked whether he would give up his green card on the 17th, Chen Shizhong claimed that after graduation, he felt that he wanted to stay in Taiwan and work hard, so he gave up and did not continue to apply for a green card.
reported that the Kuomintang Taipei mayor candidate Jiang Wanan had previously been mocked by the Democratic Progressive Party "legislator" Qiu Yiying for "Why is the Kuomintang so common for American nationality and green cards?" Later, Jiang Wanan announced the documents on Facebook that he and his wife gave up their green cards. Now Chen Shizhong has published a book and revealed the topic of green card, which is interpreted by the outside world as "disinfection" before running for election.
United News Network said that Lai Shibao criticized Chen Shizhong's statement that many "legislators" in the past have given up their return to Taiwan to teach or hold public office. Now the overall atmosphere in Taiwan is pro-American. Chen Shizhong's statement is to use the United States to respect himself, highlighting that his opportunity cost is very high, as if he wants to tell voters, "I could be an American, but I chose to be a Taiwanese." He used a green card to scare people.
Lai Shibao also said that Chen Shizhong said he gave up being a US citizen and came back to be a Taiwanese. He wanted to use this to express his love for Taiwan to win sympathy and votes. "This statement is too naive and sad!"
Zeng Mingzong, the general convener of the Kuomintang's "Legislative Yuan" party and caucus, questioned that it was a fact that Chen Shizhong applied for a green card in the past to avoid being exposed during the election and being questioned by the outside world. He once wanted to leave Taiwan, so he took the move first, but the reason why Chen Shizhong later gave up the green card was not clearly stated and should be further investigated.
