China Taiwan Net, May 15 According to Taiwan's "United News Network", the Democratic Progressive Party authorities recently launched a "10,000-yuan bailout" plan. Due to insufficient supporting facilities and complicated standards, it has suffered a backlash from the people who are bailing out and the island's public service system. In response, the Kuomintang's "Legislative Yuan" caucus plans to amend the "Epidemic Prevention and Relief Regulations" and reiterate the idea of "discovery cash" to accelerate revitalization.
According to reports, Kuomintang "legislator" Jiang Wanan pointed out that the DPP authorities have planned 11.1 billion yuan (New Taiwan dollars, the same below) to revitalize overall consumption measures and a 2.2 billion yuan voucher budget, but the total only accounts for 0.07% of the 2019 GDP of 18.9 trillion yuan. To achieve the revitalization effect is like asking for a fish out of wood; only by distributing 6,000 yuan in cash per person can the real effect of boosting the overall economy be achieved.
Jiang Wanan said that cash discovery can reward people for cooperating with the authorities’ epidemic prevention measures, allowing people to have extra cash to restore consumer confidence, and can also help boost economic momentum and allow various industries to recover early. He also called on the DPP authorities not to think too much. The next stage of revitalization must be "fair," "simple," "people-friendly," "easy" and "daily." Cash discovery is the only most effective approach.
In addition, Kuomintang "legislator" Lin Yihua also said that Taiwan is now in a "bailout mess", mainly due to "unclear targets", "unfair distribution" and "large administrative burden"; the latest poll pointed out that 87.7% of the people are in favor of cash deposits, calling on the DPP authorities not to make the same mistake again.
According to reports, the Kuomintang group's proposal stated that Taiwan's new crown epidemic is now gradually easing, and all industries are looking forward to getting social and economic activities back on track as soon as possible; in order to revitalize the economy, private consumption and promote domestic demand, it advocates cash payments and rewarding people for their selfless cooperation in epidemic prevention work, so that the people can share the results of epidemic prevention, and add more firewood to help economic recovery and achieve revitalizing effects.
