@王彩彩彩彩彩4 Report Tsai Ing-wen's office spokesman Ding Yungong stepped down after an explosive sexual scandal. The Kuomintang's Ministry of International Affairs posted a tweet on the afternoon of the 9th, using the online term "Ding Ding is a talent", and connecting the "President of Supervision" of the Taiwan authorities Chen Ju during his tenure as mayor of Kaohsiung the third-class merit medal to Ding Yungong during his tenure years of presidency. He praised Ding as a news link of "a romantic literary youth who shared joys and sorrows for 10 years". Ding Yungong and Chen Ju were very sorry. Li Dazhong, director of the Kuomintang International Department, said that this tweet should have been seen by many international followers.
The Kuomintang’s Twitter uses four languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese and Indian. He Zhiyong, deputy director of the International Department, said that "Ding Ding is a talent" is a joke online, and it is difficult to translate it into the other three countries. Otherwise, they would tweet together, so that followers who use Chinese would smile.
According to Wikipedia, "Ding Ding is an online term for individuals, Taiwan, originated from a composite picture of online spoofing using Tinky Winky from the BBC children's program "Aerial Baby" and the PS2 game "True Three Kingdoms 4". In the picture, Ding Ding's actual evaluation is "brain-dead" (a popular alternative to "stupid"), but Mr. Shui Jing said "Ding Ding is a talent", and his strong irony attracted gimmicks."
This tweet from the Kuomintang linked Chen Ju to Ding Yungong during his ten years of service during his tenure as mayor of Kaohsiung on April 17, 2018, and Ding Yungong was awarded the third-class merit medal to Ding Yungong at the municipal meeting, describing Ding Yungong who had won many literary awards and was a talented romantic literary youth. He joined the city government team by chance. She was very grateful to Ding Yungong for sharing the joys and sorrows with the team.
He Zhiyong said that "Ding Ding is a talent" was widely cited when the Taiwan authorities' "representative to Japan" Tse Changting ran for the leadership of Taiwan in 2007. This time, Ding Yungong's explosive sexual scandal happened to fit this joke, so he used it.
After the Kuomintang tweet was posted, "Ding Ding is a talent" caused a hot discussion. Not only Taiwan media reports, but many netizens also said, "Ding Ding is a talent, and it is really appropriate to use it on Ding Yungong."
