On May 20, Tsai Ing-wen's first four-year term is about to expire. So what has Tsai Ing-wen and her administrative team led by them done in these four years? What changes have taken place in Taiwan’s political arena in the past four years? The "Taiwan News Face" column specially launched a series of programs "Taiwan's Four Years", which comprehensively sorted out the Tsai Ing-wen administration's governance and the political arena on the island over the past four years. At the beginning of this week, let’s first talk about the reforms and constructions of the DPP authorities on Taiwan’s island over the past four years. We know that the people's livelihood issues on the island are the powers of the heads of the Taiwan administrative agency. Over the past four years, from Lin Quan, Lai Ching-te, and then to Su Zhenchang, Tsai Ing-wen has used three administrative agency leaders like a lantern. What kind of report card did she hand over?
"Old Blue Man" Lin Quan: Fighting for "reform" and being in a state of governance is in a state of trouble. In Taiwan's political arena, Lin Quan is classified as "Old Blue Man". Because Lin Quan came from a deep blue family, although he never joined the DPP, he has served for the DPP for a long time. As a financial scholar, Lin Quan was appointed as the director of the Taipei Finance Bureau when Chen Shui-bian was the mayor of Taipei. After Chen Shui-bian became the leader of Taiwan, Lin Quan served as the head of the Taiwan accounting department and the head of the finance department, and has always been regarded as one of the most important financial think tanks of the Democratic Progressive Party. Because he had experience working with Tsai Ing-wen in Taiwan, Lin Quan has been working tacitly with Tsai Ing-wen for a long time and has become the person Tsai Ing-wen trusts the most.
On May 20, 2016, Lin Quan officially took office. He worked hard from the beginning and took on the role of Tsai Ing-wen's full efforts to reform. However, whether it is the "Labor and Fund Law" amendment, the "Military and Public Education Pension Reform", or the restart of nuclear power plant, it has been controversial and has triggered strong confrontation in Taiwanese society.
The boiling public grievances made Lin Quan very worried, and the retreat and policy "hairpin bends" that the Taiwan legislature had to make after the bombardment of artillery fire also seriously weakened the credibility of Lin Quan's team. In order to stabilize the situation, on the eve of his anniversary, Lin Quanduo distributed a "foresight infrastructure plan" with a total of NT$4 NT$5, but it still failed to get a good result.
According to Taiwan media reports, since Lin Quan took office on May 20, 2016, the dissatisfaction of the governance has continued to rise. In August 2016, the poll of the Taiwan Index Poll Company showed for the first time that the public's dissatisfaction with Lin Quan's team exceeded the satisfaction level, and it was less than 3 months before he took office. On May 20, 2017, on the occasion of the first anniversary of his tenure, many polls, including Green Camp, showed that the public's dissatisfaction with Lin Quan's team's governance had risen to nearly 60%, far exceeding the satisfaction level.
On September 3, 2017, Lin Quan, the then head of the Taiwan administrative agency, submitted his resignation to Tsai Ing-wen on the grounds that "the phased tasks have been completed". On September 7, Lin Quan led the general resignation of the administrative team, ending his term of more than one year and three months.
This issue of "Taiwan News Face" invited Mr. Li Jiannan , a long-lost current affairs commentator, . According to Mr. Li, "Lin Quan and I have a very interesting relationship." What's even more funny is that Mr. Li was ordered by his girlfriend to learn from Lin Quan. As we all know, Mr. Li’s comments are inseparable from limericks. In this episode, he wrote poems to the heads of three Taiwanese administrative agencies. Let’s take a look at his evaluation of Lin Quan: “Lin is the Blue Camp and enters the Green Sect, so of course it is difficult to find the right one; in the end, someone invited him out, but he is not evil.” A few words talked about Lin Quan’s embarrassment and helplessness during his tenure in Taiwan’s administrative agency for more than a year.
Lin Quan's governance is known as the so-called reform, but the result is tragic. But the Tsai Ing-wen administration's administration is still continuing, and it is the turn of the DPP political star Lai Ching-te to make his debut.
"Taiwan independence worker" Lai Ching-te: No achievements in governance, controversy and controversy are constantly
On September 8, 2017, Lai Ching-te, who was re-elected as mayor of Tainan, was appointed as the head of the Taiwan administrative agency by Tsai Ing-wen before his term of office expired. He is a political star in the Democratic Progressive Party, and in the so-called "unification and independence" position, Lai Ching-te is aggressive and has repeatedly clamored for his so-called "Taiwan independence" proposition.However, Lai Ching-te also claimed that he was "loved by China and Taiwan" and said that he "welcome mainland Chinese tourists very much", which made his position on the mainland shocking.
On the issue of people's livelihood on the island, Lai Ching-te, the head of the Taiwan administrative agency, has repeatedly made people laugh and cry. Lai Qingde was once named "Director of the Academy of Merits" for the so-called "Merits Theory".
is also said that the coal used in the Shenzhen-Ao Power Plant is "clean coal", and it should win the Nobel Prize.
Not to mention, he encouraged the public not to peel and dip the sauce to eat bananas, claiming that the average monthly salary of Taiwanese workers is close to NT$50,000. No wonder Taiwanese netizens have to question, "Which Taiwan does Lai Ching-te live in?"
Although he has made no achievements in governance, Lai Ching-te spared no effort to pursue the Kuomintang during his tenure. On September 6, 2017, before he officially took office as the head of the administrative agency, Lai Ching-te started personnel layout and transferred Gu Lixiong, the first director of the so-called "Improper Party and Property Committee" who had no financial background, to the "Financial Supervision and Administration Commission". He then transferred the so-called advisory committee member of the Taiwan Security Conference to the head of the "Party Industry Association", so that the Democratic Progressive Party could recover the Kuomintang's party assets and enter the practical stage. In May 2018, Lai Ching-te also personally supervised the establishment of the "Committee on Promoting Transformation Justice".
It’s a pity that it only opened for more than three months. In September 2018, on the eve of Taiwan’s “nine-in-one” election, Zhang Tianqin, the “vice chairman of the transfer promotion” and old classmate of Tsai Ing-wen, was exposed to claiming to be the “East Factory” at an internal meeting. He called for an allusion to operate and crack down on the Kuomintang’s New Taipei mayor candidate Hou Youyi, which triggered public opinion on the island, and forced Lai Ching-te to publicly apologize to the Taiwanese society for his unreasonable supervision.
Although Lai Ching-te's poor governance achievements, his poll support has always been higher than Tsai Ing-wen. On November 24, 2018, Lai Ching-te announced his resignation due to the Democratic Progressive Party's disastrous defeat in the "nine-in-one" election. Although he accepted Tsai Ing-wen's consolation, on January 14, 2019, Lai Ching-te still led his administrative team to resign, ending his one-year and four-month term.
How should Lai Ching-te's performance during his tenure as the head of an administrative agency in Taiwan? In addition to the still likable poems by Mr. Li Jiannan here, Dong Zhisen, a guest of "Taiwan News Face", threw out four words: A good person is not good at it. Guest Chen Fengxin asserted that Lai Ching-te's future political career has almost come to an end.
From Lin Quan to Lai Ching-te, the governance of these two people does not seem to make the Taiwanese people feel, so Tsai Ing-wen invited the DPP veteran Su Zhenchang.
"Return to the blame" Su Zhenchang: Strong style and manipulate "anti-China" without any limit
Tsai Ing-wen's third administrative agency, Su Zhenchang, was born in 1947, over 70 years old. In 2006, Su Zhenchang served as the head of an administrative agency for more than a year when Chen Shui-bian was the leader of Taiwan, so he came out again and was described as a "veteran revenge."
Tsai Ing-wen once said that in the second half of his administration, he wanted to share the results with the people. Therefore, his greatest expectation for Su Zhenchang is to "be sure to make the people feel." For this reason, Su Zhenchang frequently showed off his political achievements on Facebook, including a detailed analysis of the "99 political achievements" of the administrative team over 100 days, and encountered scorching comments from Taiwanese media: "The video is not long and there is a lot of nonsense. The staff took great pains to make up their political achievements to absurd level."
At that time, it was the critical moment when the blue and green actively planned the 2020 Taiwan leadership election. Su Zhenchang, as the head of the administrative agency, began to "do not do his job properly." On the one hand, when Tsai Ing-wen encountered Lai Ching-te's challenge in the 2020 party primary election, Su Zhenchang, as a member of the five-member coordination group of the Democratic Progressive Party Central Committee, helped Tsai Ing-wen finally win the qualifying line with the "drag-up trick"; on the other hand, in the match between Tsai Ing-wen and Han Kuo-yu , Su Zhenchang "attacked South Korea" and "blacked South Korea" were not ruthless, and turned the administrative agency into Tsai Ing-wen's campaign headquarters. At the same time, he took the initiative to cooperate with the so-called "spicy Taiwanese girl" role played by Tsai Ing-wen, and repeatedly provoked the mainland and escalated cross-strait confrontation.
At the beginning of 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out. Su Zhenchang, the head of the Taiwan administrative agency, changed his policies every day. Not only did he spawn Taiwan's "mask chaos", but also caused trouble in the island's people's livelihood economy. The repeated remarks on whether to find cash relief have been found, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from all walks of life. Recently, another new word appeared on Taiwan's island, called "Zhengjin Baiyin", which means Su Zhenchang's statement on whether to find out whether to relieve the financial situation. It seems that what he said yesterday was useless.
am of Tsai Ing-wen's three administrative agencies, Su Zhenchang's polls are the highest. Does his governance really make the Taiwanese people feel very touched? In addition to Su Zhenchang's personal political skills, we may be able to find the answer from the current situation of Taiwan's media and the Internet.
April 21, Taiwan’s senior media person and current affairs commentators Chen Fengxin, Dong Zhisen, and Li Jiannan, who “written poetry for you”, were guests at "Taiwan News Face". As Tsai Ing-wen’s first four-year term is about to expire, she will talk to you about the three heads of Taiwan administrative agencies in a row, and what kind of report card has been handed over to Taiwanese society. stay tuned.
