Global Network quoted reports from media on the island that on September 23, the island’s legislative department will start deliberations, and on this day, Su Zhenchang, the head of the island’s administrative department, will be questioned and given a policy report. However, for Su Zhenchang, the questioning on September 23 is expected to face a storm because the Kuomintang has already spoken to resist it strongly.
On September 22, Zeng Mingzong, the convener of the Kuomintang’s League, said at a seminar on a think tank event that the Tsai administration is incompetent in preventing the epidemic, and the epidemic on the island has recurred, and the number of deaths due to the epidemic has exceeded 10,000. Zeng Mingzong said that the entire DPP authorities should apologize for this.
This time, the Kuomintang is preparing to boycott and attack the DPP authorities in terms of the epidemic, and has a great background. According to the report of Singapore Lianhe Zaobao, on September 22, the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center has released the latest news that the island will be opened in two stages from the 29th. If the epidemic does not heat up sharply, Taiwan is expected to cancel home quarantine regulations, open general social visits and sightseeing of "non-visa-free countries" and cancel the travel group restrictions from October 13.
The island’s epidemic prevention commander Wang Bisheng said that the first phase of the opening of the first phase of the implementation on September 29 will be maintained at "3+4" (three-day home quarantine plus four-day independent epidemic prevention). The home quarantine premises will be adjusted to "one person, one room" in the first three days, and the border will cancel saliva inspections and adjust the home fast screening reagent testing measures for incoming passengers.
Wang Bisheng said that the future opening goal is to pilot 150,000 people in a single week and exempt from home quarantine for entry (including tour groups and free travel). If the incoming person has no symptoms, he can take public transportation, and general social visits and sightseeing will be opened for "non-visa-free countries". At that time, the restriction order for Taiwan travel groups will also be cancelled, and Taiwanese people can travel in tourist groups.
Wang Bisheng also said that after the first phase of opening, you still need to observe a week before you can decide the specific date of the second phase of opening. If nothing unexpected happens, the second phase of opening is expected to be implemented on October 13.
This time, Taiwan’s island began to relax its borders. Due to the epidemic, the tourism industry on the island has been seriously affected. Previously, the Tsai Ing-wen administration wanted to support it through the routine of “spreading coins”, but the results were very little. The reason was very simple. The epidemic has had a serious impact on the lives and work of the people. How can we have time to travel? Therefore, the relaxation of entry policy may be aimed at attracting foreign tourists and enhancing tourism on the island. Moreover, the island is about to face the "nine-in-one" election , and the recovery of the tourism industry will also be beneficial to the DPP's election situation.
However, the DPP authorities are anxious to relax their entry policies, and seem to have not taken into account the true level of the epidemic on the island. Taiwan currently has more than 40,000 new local confirmed cases every day, with a total number of confirmed cases reaching 6.09 million, accounting for 26% of the total population. I really don’t know what the DPP thinks about such a high infection rate and the number of confirmed cases that cannot be reduced.
Therefore, the Kuomintang’s statement that it would strongly boycott Su Zhenchang’s inquiries is likely to be related to the fact that the DPP authorities are still insisting on opening the entry policy in the context of the high infection rate on the island.
In addition, on September 21, several "legislators" of the Kuomintang had gone to the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office to report the dereliction of duty by former epidemic prevention commander Chen Shizhong on the island, and questioned the hidden operation behind his vaccine procurement.
In June last year, according to the " Washington Post ", the purchase price of the Pfizer BNT vaccine in the United States was US$19.5 (about NT$1 NT$2540), the purchase price of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the United States was US$4 per dose (about NT$111), and the Moderna vaccine in the United States was US$15 per dose (about NT$416). According to Chen Shizhong last year, the unit price of the high-end vaccine he purchased on the island was slightly higher than NT$750. The Kuomintang pointed out that the unit price of the vaccine may be as high as NT$881.
On August 22 this year, the DPP authorities released the unit price data, which was NT$765. There are constant doubts on the island about this data, and this price is much higher than the purchase unit price of Pfizer BNT vaccine, AZ vaccine, and Moderna vaccine. Moreover, the epidemic on the island remains high due to the vaccines purchased at a high price.So at tomorrow's questioning meeting, it is estimated that the Kuomintang's "legislators" will also question Su Zhenchang on this issue.
It has to be said that at the Su Zhenchang questioning meeting held by the island legislative department on September 23, there is a very likely storm to come.
