Tsai Ing-wen’s cousin Lin Meizhu made a low-key comeback yesterday and became the chairman of Taiwan Golden Alliance. According to Taiwanese media reports, this position is an out-and-out "fat job" with a monthly salary of up to NT$310,000 and a monthly salary of NT$213.5 per year. If the maximum bonus is included, the annual salary is as high as NT$8.37 million. (approximately more than 1.86 million yuan), which is more than twice the salary of Taiwan’s “Minister of Finance”.

However, Chang'an Street Governor discovered that in less than 24 hours, Lin Meizhu decided to resign from this position. Taiwanese media said that Lin Meizhu was suspected of "losing to the huge pressure of public opinion from the outside world." Taiwan's "Ministry of Finance" officials said that Lin Meizhu had decided to resign, and the authorities would issue a press release explaining it later.

How much pressure is there from public opinion? Many Taiwanese netizens have previously pointed out that this is a clear political reward, and some netizens sarcastically said, "Only in this way can we protect the so-called 'Taiwan values' and prevent the wealth from flowing to outsiders." In fact, since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, not only her cousin Lin Meizhu, but also her best friends and nephews have also come to power, triggering strong criticism from all walks of life in Taiwan.

Tsai Ing-wen was "uninformed"

According to Taiwan's " China Times Electronic News " report on the 12th, the official website of Taiwan Jinlian Asset Management Company announced that Lin Meizhu has been appointed as chairman. However, Taiwan's "Ministry of Finance" did not announce this personnel information to the outside world. The low-key route is obviously considered.

In response to this, Hong Mengkai of the Kuomintang posted on social media and pointed out, "If Lin Meizhu was not Tsai Ing-wen's cousin, how could she be treated like this? He bluntly said that Tsai Ing-wen is ridiculously generous to her own people. Is she insisting on reform or insisting on paying mediocrity? ?

In the face of accusations from Lanying and netizens, Taiwan’s “Executive Yuan” issued a press release this morning. Gulas Udaka said that this appointment was approved by the "Executive Yuan" in October and was not reported to the "President". The "President" did not know about it in advance. Some people said that former Minister Lin Meichu It is not fair to criticize Tsai Ing-wen for "mediocre personnel compensation" due to her kinship with the "President". Lin Meizhu

Gulas Udaka also said that former Minister Lin Meizhu had complete public service experience. She started as a grassroots civil servant. During her long-term public service career, she also served in the Ministry of Finance and other units. She was no stranger to related business and had Professional training in law is beneficial to corporate governance and asset management business. It can be seen that this appointment is entirely based on professional After consideration, the right person will be appointed.

Lin Meizhu has served as counselor of Taiwan's "Executive Yuan", secretary-general of the "Central Election Commission", parliamentary secretary of the "Ministry of the Interior", deputy county magistrate of Chiayi County, etc. In May 2016, the new Tsai Ing-wen government took office. Later, Lin Meizhu joined the cabinet as a political committee member. In February 2017, Lin Meizhu took over as the "Minister of Labor" and resigned due to illness in February this year.

Taiwan Financial Union was established under the auspices of the Ministry of Finance and the Banking Association. It is the first asset management company on the island dedicated to assisting financial institutions in handling non-performing debts. All its previous chairmen are public equity representatives appointed by the Ministry of Finance. Judging from her resume, she has no experience in finance and asset management.

Taiwanese media also pointed out. The purpose of establishing Taiwan Financial Alliance was to deal with the Asian financial crisis in 1997. At that time, the island's financial industry as a whole had high overdue loans and was flooded with non-performing assets. Nowadays, the non-performing debt of the island's financial institutions has been significantly reduced. People in the industry bluntly said, "The function of Taiwan Financial Alliance has been weakened", and the chairman's position "is equivalent to supporting retired officials in disguise"

In February 2017, Lin Meizhu took charge of the "Ministry of Labor". She said that she was "not very familiar" with Tsai Ing-wen, and Tsai did not even know about her fear of dogs.

At that time, the former Luo Zhiqiang, deputy secretary-general of Ma Ying-jeou's office, criticized that if Ma Ying-jeou appoints his cousin as a "labourer" "Minister" has long been thrown away.

Luo Zhiqiang said that Ma Ying-jeou's sister only served as the convener of the biotechnology group under the policy committee of the non-governmental organization "Federation of Workers" in 2009, and was beaten by the DPP and the green media. "Super gatekeeper". The DPP's double standards are despicable. "This is the most disgusting example of the DPP's approach to Taiwanese politics."

Even You Yinglong, chairman of the pro-green "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation", couldn't help but sigh, "I think this leader doesn't know what the people want."

Not long after Lin Meizhu took office, the "Die Lian Hua" tourist bus overturned in Taiwan, resulting in the tragedy of 33 deaths. Many problems emerged one by one, including the tourist bus being too old and the driver working too long.

However, when Lin Meizhu was asked whether being on call while driving at scenic spots counts as work, she responded: "Waiting is not restricted by the employer. It counts as a break. The driver can close the door and take a walk or do exercises."

In response, Shi Li Mingxian, the deputy chairman of the Kuomintang Cultural Communication Committee, criticized, "This is simply a ridiculous joke. Are the officials of this government living in the clouds and out of touch with the grassroots?" Then he asked the police officers on duty at the police station. , can you also go for a walk or listen to music, or are on-duty hours counted only when you encounter thieves and gangsters?

In October last year, Lin Meizhu went to the "Legislative Yuan" for consultation. "Legislator" Xu Shuhua believes that Lin Meizhu does not accept exclusive interviews with the media, and she is not seen at labor union meetings. She does not have many public itineraries and rarely discusses policies publicly, which has led to Lin Meizhu being dubbed the "Minister of God" by the outside world. . Lin Meizhu countered that she had visited 109 county and city trade unions.

In February this year, Lin Meizhu resigned due to illness, and quietly made a comeback 10 months later. Although she deliberately kept a low profile, she still caused topics of discussion again.

My best friends and nephews all came to power

"In the past, when political parties rotated, the most they could do was replace the Dong Zong and give the factions an explanation. But looking back at the DPP's return to power this time, there is no way to place positions here and there. No need to go to extremes!” Taiwan’s China Times once angrily criticized the Tsai administration for “suddenly setting up a ‘policy office’ in the ‘Ministry Council’, allowing the ‘Youth Army’ to fill the seats, and suddenly there were rumors that the old director was dropped from the public sector. He appointed special assistants and advisers to his cronies, causing a stir in the city."

Chang'an Street Governor noticed that He Meiyue, the current "National Policy Advisor to the Presidential Office", is Tsai Ing-wen's "best friend".

He Meiyue (right) and Tsai Ing-wen

According to Taiwan media reports, He Meiyue and Tsai Ing-wen were officials in the same court during the Chen Shui-bian period, and have been colleagues for a long time. In the 2012 "General Election", when Tsai Ing-wen was isolated and helpless in the face of the KMT's fierce attack on the "Yuchang Case", the then "Chairman of the Economic Development Council" He Meiyue used her personal personality to make a bet and claimed that Tsai Ing-wen was serving as deputy "cabinet minister". During this period, Tsai Ing-wen was very touched that she had no plans to participate in the management of Yuchang.

He Meiyue was also Tsai Ing-wen’s main economic think tank during the 2016 general election. He Meiyue, who was born in the "Industrial Bureau", has long been in contact with the business community and has a good grasp of international industrial trends. Many of Tsai Ing-wen's industry visits during the election were arranged through He.

People within the Democratic Progressive Party analyzed that although He Meiyue did not join the cabinet, she was still deeply involved in finance-related "ministries", especially related personnel matters.

In addition, Tsai Ing-wen’s nephew Tsai Yuanshi was elected as a representative of the “Secretary Reform Conference” in February last year, which also attracted great attention. Among the five democratically elected representatives of prosecutors at the Taiwan authorities’ “Judicial Reform ‘State Council’ Conference,” Yilan District Prosecutor’s Office chief prosecutor Cai Yuanshi ranked fourth with 459 votes. Cai Yuanshi's father, Cai Yingnan, is the only son of the second wife of Tsai Ing-wen's father Cai Jiesheng .

Cai Yuanshi

Netizens couldn't help but criticize, "She is a cousin and a nephew. Will even 'Cai Xiangxiang' (Tsai Ing-wen's cat) become a 'minister' tomorrow?"

"The common perception of the DPP is that it looks ugly," said Li Zhenghao, founder of the Kuomintang Youth League Grassroots Association. Only recently did an official who stepped down be re-employed. Today, another "Minister of Labor" Lin Meizhu, who resigned due to the "Labor Standard Law", became the chairman of "Taiwan Jinlian Asset Management Company". The DPP really feels that it has too many votes. If this is the case, everyone will do it again in 2020 to let the DPP know.
