[Global Times Special Correspondent Chen Lifei] A policy promotional video of "no treatment toilet" (can flush toilet) to please voters has caused peeping controversy, causing Chen Shizhong, the candidate for Taipei mayor of DPP, to fall into a whirlpool of public opinion. Immediately afterwards, its campaign team was exposed as a green camp "Second Generation of Political Affairs". The charity group Tzu Chi recalled the bitterness of buying and donating vaccines, which pushed Chen Shizhong to the forefront.
First "turn the blame" and then "tamper with red"
Last year, Taiwan Tzu Chi Foundation, TSMC, Hon Hai and Yongling Foundation jointly donated 15 million doses of the Combetine vaccine produced by Shanghai Fosun agent and German BNT company. Yan Bowen, the promoter of Tzu Chi vaccine procurement and CEO of Tzu Chi Charity Foundation, disclosed the hardships of the purchasing process for the first time during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He said that in mid-May last year, he learned from many channels that although the DPP authorities wanted to purchase the new crown vaccine , they faced difficulties because all parties were rushing to buy it. After agreeing, Master Yan of Tzu Chi Economic Certification decided to purchase it. As a result, Yan Bowen quickly received a call from bigwigs from political, business and other majors, saying, "Don't waste your energy if you can't buy it." It turned out that these people also wanted to buy the vaccine, but they were all dissuaded by the Taiwan authorities; the Taiwan Epidemic Prevention Command Center also kept explaining that this is the authority of the authorities, and some officials even told Yan, "Don't think about this matter." However, out of humanitarian rescue, Tzu Chi searched for channels from multiple parties and finally confirmed that there was a purchasing opportunity. In the end, Tzu Chi, TSMC, and Hon Hai jointly purchased 15 million doses of Fubitai, and Tzu Chi was responsible for 5 million doses of them.
I know who this revelation is targeting. Huang Shanshan, an independent Taipei mayor candidate, further revealed on the 12th that the Taipei Municipal Government had compiled NT$2.8 billion last year to prepare to buy vaccines. As a result, Mayor Ke Wen-je asked Chen Shizhong, the then epidemic prevention commander, to talk to Chen Shizhong, who said, "No need to buy it anymore, I have bought 40 million doses." Huang Shanshan said bluntly that the key point is not whether you can buy it or not, but whether the authorities let you buy it. "Tzu Chi is right", everyone knows that they are stuck in the authorities.
DPP has denied it one after another. Taiwan's "Executive Yuan" spokesman Luo Bingcheng made five points on the 11th, arguing that "there is no obstacle to the situation." Chen Shizhong said angrily on the 12th, "Am I a madman? Why should I stop it?" On the same day, the epidemic prevention command center held a press conference. "Director of Disease Control" Zhou Zhihao said that the authorities failed to make a purchase recovery because of "external forces intervene". The epidemic prevention commander Wang Bisheng claimed that "external forces are the intervention of China's political forces", and once again blamed the mainland. On the 13th, Tsai Ing-wen's office issued a five-point statement denied blocking the vaccine, saying that the authorities and the public jointly resolved the problem. Not only that, pro-green media person Zhou Yuko also "smeared" Tzu Chi on Facebook, calling the organization "a member of the Communist Party of China."
There are political considerations behind it
Many people on the island do not believe this set of rhetoric from the DPP. The Kuomintang's "Legislative Yuan" party group criticized on the 13th that Chen Shizhong clearly blocked the vaccine, and even said that the vaccine that the founder of Hon Hai Group, , Guo Taiming, was wanted to buy was OEM in mainland China, "Take the whole nation a fool?" The Kuomintang Taipei mayor candidate Jiang Wan'an lamented on the 13th, how much interest is worth the DPP's overwhelming smear Tzu Chi? How much pressure did Tzu Chi endure it for a year and dare to tell the truth after donating the vaccine? How compassion is it that Master Zhengyan was humiliated by famous mouths and cyber army and still did not say a word? He said that 5 million doses of mercy vaccines have flowed into Taiwanese people, "We will accompany Tzu Chi to fight the evil of the DPP with gratitude and compassion." "Legislator" Zheng Liwen asked back, if the authorities think Tzu Chi's statement is untrue, why doesn't the DPP, which loves to fight fake news, directly issue punishment?
htmlOn 12, Taipei Mayor Ke Wen-je replied when asked "whether he thinks the DPP blocks the vaccine", "I think there is, this is political consideration." He criticized that the authorities should care for the people. The epidemic is already so serious. If the vaccine is coming in, come in quickly. As a result, "You are still reviewing it, and you are willing to pay for the money, and you don't let others come in. It's too much."Former "legislator" of the DPP Shen Fuxiong directly pointed out the source of the problem in "cross-strait relations".He said that the DPP authorities ignored the dependence of cross-strait trade of more than 45%, believing that vaccines that are related to people's lives and safety have special symbolic significance. Therefore, they were unwilling to go through the hands of the mainland at the beginning and attempted to purchase them directly from the original factory. As a result, they encountered a wall. Shanghai Fosun insisted that Taiwan is its agent area and that the original factory in Germany would not be sold directly to Taiwan. At this time, the DPP authorities lied to those who were interested in donating the donations on all sides that they could not buy it. "This is the place where the government is dishonest and openly lying without blushing, and it is also the crux of the entire case." Wu Zijia, chairman of Meilidao Electronic News, mentioned on the 13th that the chaos in vaccine procurement contracts and high-end vaccines are hidden behind huge interests, and the green camp ignores the lives and death of the Taiwanese people and only cares about their own interests.
Most people believe in Tzu Chi
whether Chen Shizhong is blocking the vaccine. A street interview conducted by Zhongtian’s “ Lu Xiufang Spicy Evening News” show that the vast majority of respondents expressed their belief in Tzu Chi. Some young people criticized Chen Shizhong just because they opened their eyes and said lies. Yahoo Qimo A latest poll showed that when the public was asked, "Who do you think is elected mayor of Taipei?", 38.3% of netizens supported Jiang Wanan, Huang Shanshan ranked second with a 21.5% optimistic rate, and Chen Shizhong ranked third with 14.6%.
Taiwan United News Network commented on the 13th that reviewing the history of Bitai vaccine procurement, the DPP authorities not only blocked the vaccine, but also took the lead in smearing the red vaccine. Including Chen Shizhonghe Command Center expert Li Bingying, etc., released the news that Fosun’s Fubitai and Pfizer BNT are different vaccines, and Terry Gou bought a vaccine that was about to expire, etc., in an attempt to create public opinion against the purchase of Fosun. In the end, these rumors were self-defeated. The article said that in addition to rehabilitation, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has also blocked many units from donating vaccines. The United Daily News published an editorial on the 13th saying that in the past year, Taiwan has been in a state of lack of vaccines, reagents, the authorities' unreasonable acts of obstructing donations from private groups, and the unreasonable acts of Taiwan being short of vaccines and reagents, and the authorities' favoritism and obstructing donations from private groups are vivid in my mind. Chen Shizhong had a banquet with his supporters in private, and ran away before the epidemic slowed down, but he intervened from time to time. The allocation of epidemic prevention resources has repeatedly treated Taipei City injustice. Therefore, if his campaign blindly emphasizes its "epidemic prevention achievements", it will arouse people's disgust and increase voters' hatred.
