Taiwan media said today (19th) that Tsai Ing-wen's operation aroused criticism from the outside world. Some officials who participated in the meeting bombarded the Taiwan authorities with the "cold-blooded disaster prevention meeting". The county magistrates of Taitung and Hualien in the disaster area were even more complaining. Although Tsai Ing-wen's urgent apology today, a large number of netizens on the island still burst into their social platforms, mocking Tsai Ing-wen, saying, "It's something that everyone knows long ago if you don't have the people in your heart!"

Since the night of September 17, magnitude 6.5 and 6.9 earthquakes and multiple aftershocks have occurred in Taitung and Hualien County, Taiwan, and the whole of Taiwan feels. Taiwan United News Network quoted the latest data from the Taiwan Disaster Response Center on the 19th, saying that as of 11:00 p.m. on the 18th, the earthquake had killed one person and injured 142 people, and it is expected that aftershocks of magnitude 5 or above may occur in the next week.

As the disaster situation continued, Tsai Ing-wen inspected the Taiwan Disaster Response Center on the evening of the 18th and held a disaster prevention meeting. The Taitung and Hualien County Governments were required to hold online meetings.

However, in the early morning of this year, Yu Mingxun, director of the Transportation and Tourism Development of Taitung County, broke the details of the meeting on Facebook , and criticized Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP authorities. Yu Mingxun said that at 18:00 on the 18th, the Taitung County Government received instructions that Tsai Ing-wen would attend a meeting at the Disaster Response Command Center and asked them to stay at the Disaster Response Center in Taitung, waiting to connect with Tsai Ing-wen for an online meeting.

Yu Mingxun said that the instructions did not inform when the meeting would begin. After waiting for 2 hours, they finally waited until Tsai Ing-wen arrived. During the online meeting, Tsai Ing-wen finally came on stage. Unexpectedly, after she finished reading the manuscript, she immediately left the meeting with Su Zhenchang, the head of the Taiwan administrative department, and Xu Guoyong, the head of the internal affairs department, "shocked everyone at the Taitung scene."

Yu Mingxun said angrily that he participated in the "the coldest blood and meaningless disaster prevention meeting in his life". During the entire online meeting, Tsai Ing-wen and others had no intention of letting the local government explain or report, "of course, they did not say hello, comfort or encourage morale. These people with power were talking one-sided and arrogantly."

Yu Mingxun criticized that he did not know what the significance of this meeting was, nor could he see Tsai Ing-wen and others' care for the people of Taitung. He asked whether it was because Taitung's "non-green administration" that disaster prevention meetings could be so rough and hasty. After this post was published, Taitung County Mayor Rao Qingling also appeared and left a message, saying dissatisfied that "what I can't bear to leave is everyone's time, and I just spent it."

In addition to Yu Mingxun’s revelations, according to United News Network html on the 219th, Rao Qingling and Hualien County Mayor Xu Zhenwei also admitted in an online interview with media people today that the county government team waited online for a long time last night, and finally waited for Tsai Ing-wen, Su Zhenchang, Xu Guoyong and others to arrive, but Tsai Ing-wen left the meeting after speaking, and neither county magistrate was asked about the local disaster situation.

Rao Qingling said that according to past experience, Tsai Ing-wen and others will ask about the local disaster situation, "We listen to the superiors' speech and want to report the local conditions later, but they left after they finished speaking. It seems that they did not want to talk to us."

Xu Zhenwei also said that they had previously counted the disaster and damage, the situation of future reconstruction, etc., and planned to report to Tsai Ing-wen at night. As a result, when Tsai Ing-wen spoke, they could only see the video, and even the sound was turned off. Moreover, Tsai Ing-wen left after speaking, and did not ask about the local situation at all.

What is more ironic is that according to Taiwan’s “Zhongtian Quick TV” report on the 18th, Su Zhenchang emphasized in his speech at the disaster prevention meeting that Tsai Ing-wen “is so busy with official business, and she is also here to meet at this time, which shows her importance to the disaster.” However, when Tsai Ing-wen spoke, she looked down at the manuscript throughout the whole process. After finishing her speech in 4 minutes and 26 seconds, she immediately stood up and left.

As the details of Tsai Ing-wen's meeting were exposed, criticism of her from the outside world became increasingly fierce. Tsai Ing-wen urgently apologized this morning. According to Taiwan's China Times News Network on the 19th, while expressing its apology, Tsai Ing-wen also claimed that the reason why she did not connect to the disaster area last night was because the staff were busy and lacked communication, so that the connection work was negligible and there was no opportunity to communicate with the two county magistrates and the disaster relief team.

However, netizens on the island did not buy into Tsai Ing-wen's apology. A large number of netizens burst into Facebook accounts on their community platform today, and she was so sorry that her explanation was too stiff and said that she would be flickered after reading the manuscript. What is the connection with the loss of connection work? Some people also ridiculed Tsai Ing-wen and said, "It was something that everyone knew about you if you don't have the people in your heart!"
