According to Taiwan's United Daily News, Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen went to Taitung yesterday (24th) to attend the "All Works and Industry to Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival" symposium held by the "Friends of Little Ying" and was also assisting his student and the candidate for the Taitung County Mayor of the DPP. The hotel operators reported on the spot that mainland tourists did not come, and several hotels in Taitung had collapsed, hoping that the Tsai administration would help improve; Tsai Ing-wen said that the structure of mainland tourists in has changed, and the operators should change their business strategies to attract free travelers . It also said that if Liu Zhaohao was elected in , many problems in Taitung can be solved one by one. She will go to Taitung more often to understand the people's sentiments. As soon as the remarks of were made, it triggered a rebound among netizens on the island. Some netizens translated Tsai Ing-wen's "connotation" and some even scolded the Tsai authorities and called for the end of the year to teach the Democratic Progressive Party a lesson.
Taitung County International Youth Chamber of Commerce Liu Kaiwen, president of the International Youth Chamber of Commerce, pointed out at a symposium on the 24th that mainland tourists have not come in the past two years, and three hotels have been lost in this area, and one hotel in Taitung City has also closed down. Although the number of tourists in Southeast Asian countries has increased in recent years, these countries themselves have beautiful coasts. Most of the tourists come to Taiwan in urban areas such as Taipei and will not come to Taitung; due to the decrease in customer base, his employees of the Fuye Hotel Group have been reduced from 200 to 100.
Tsai Ing-wen responded that he welcomed mainlanders to Taiwan, but the mainland tourist type has changed, the number of group tourists has decreased, and the number of tourists traveling freely has increased. Therefore, Taitung's industries should also be changed. It is recommended that the hotel industry should improve service quality, change its business strategies, and attract more tourists traveling freely.
In response to Tsai Ing-wen’s remarks, Taiwanese netizens translated the “connotation” and said: “Think of a solution yourself and don’t always rely on the authorities.”
Some netizens recalled that Tsai Ing-wen responded to the "one case, one rest" policy that aroused dissatisfaction among many workers. Tsai Ing-wen once said, "This is how Taiwan is. The laborers don't talk to the capital themselves, but come to protest with the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwanese government's parents and relatives become victims, and it becomes like this. You must be self-reliant and self-reliant."
Netizens criticized: Impossible and don't admit it, let's die with the "East Factory"!
even some netizens expose Tsai Ing-wen's "blame trick" and scold: "bad party" and "fraud"
rational netizens analyze the reasons for the change in the mainland customer's form and question: Can the policy be changed first?
Some netizens angrily yelled at "Tsai Ing-wen stepped down" and called for the DPP to use votes to teach a lesson at the end of the year!
Tsai Ing-wen also assisted the candidate for the Democratic Progressive Party’s Taitung County Mayor. She said that many problems in Taitung require the cooperation of the "central" and local governments of the Taiwan authorities, especially transportation and tourism, and overall planning is required. If Liu Zhaohao is elected, the problems can be solved one by one.
Front Taitung County Mayor Kuang Lizhen announced that he would join the election battle, which instead promoted the great unity of the Blue Camp. The DPP's Taitung County Mayor election was tense, and Tsai Ing-wen actively assisted Liu Zhaohao in the election. She said that Liu Zhaohao is her student. She has been deeply engaged in Taitung for more than ten years and is dedicated to serving Taitung. She is the most sincere candidate. I hope that the people of Taitung can give Liu a chance. If Liu Zhaohao is elected, she will go to Taitung to understand the people's conditions more often.
Kuomintang Taitung County Mayor candidate Rao Qingling said that Tsai Ing-wen’s conversation yesterday was regrettable. Can she not take care of the people of Taitung before her student was elected as Taitung County Mayor? Isn’t Taitung concerned about the people’s and local construction needs? I hope Tsai Ing-wen has the pattern that Taiwan leaders should have. (end)
