The new crown pneumonia epidemic is still spreading around the world, but Taiwan’s leader Tsai Ing-wen said today that he hopes that after the international epidemic slows down, Taiwan’s exchanges and cooperation with the “new southward” countries will be closer. She also hopes to encourage Taiwanese academic circles to not only achieve personal achievements, but also help Taiwan to have innovative energy and forward-looking vision, continue to "advanced deployment" and create better development.
Tsai Ing-wen received the "2020 13th Chongyue Paper Awards Special and Excellent Paper Award Master and PhD" this morning. She said that it is a very difficult achievement for the winners to stand out in the selection of Taiwan's "Oscars in Management Academics". She also mentioned that in the media's exclusive interview with Guo Zhihui, Chairman of Chongyue Group, mentioned that the reason why Chongyue Group can continue to step into new areas is that Guo Zhihui continues to think about "what is next?" and makes advance arrangements for future trends and challenges. Similarly, in Taiwan's development, the "government" must also grasp global trends.
Tsai Ing-wen also claimed that in recent years, the "government" has actively promoted the "new southward" policy and strengthened Taiwan's international competitiveness, including the "new southward plan" of the education authorities of the Taiwan authorities, and also encouraged Taiwanese teachers and students to go to the "new southward" countries to carry out industry-university cooperation and serve as a backing for Taiwanese businessmen's development in the local area.
Tsai Ing-wen said that she hopes that after the international epidemic slows down, Taiwan’s exchanges and cooperation with the “new southward” countries will be closer. Especially in the face of the subsequent international economic and trade situation, the "New Southward" policy will continue to be a very critical strategy for Taiwan to respond to the challenges of the changes.
It is understood that in order to reduce economic dependence on the mainland, the DPP authorities are relying on the so-called "new southward policy." But the results of four years have proved that the "New Southward" is a wrong policy, it is a disaster, causing huge losses to countless Taiwanese people.
Judging from the economic data released by Taiwan’s financial authorities a few days ago, Taiwan’s actual export situation has been recession in the four months from March to June this year. Exports to Southeast Asia and other countries were even more terrible, with a decline of 4.8% in the first half of the year, accounting for 15.8%, lower than 17% two years ago. In comparison, Taiwan's exports to the mainland showed a significant increase during the same period, both reaching double-digit growth. Taiwan's export dependence on the mainland hit a record high, and its proportion exceeded that of Ma Ying-jeou's "during his rule, it was completely inconsistent with the original intention of the DPP authorities.
Recently, Taiwan also held a lot of discussions on the "new southward policy", and finally pointed to one point, that is, the "new southward" did not even arouse "waves", and was destined to become a laughing stock.
