According to Global Network , DPP leader Tsai Ing-wen held a high-level security meeting yesterday (27th) and decided to extend Taiwan’s compulsory military service for one year. In the afternoon of the same day, she also held a rare press conference on the "Strengthening the National Defense Force Structural Adjustment Plan." Taiwanese media said this was the first time Tsai Ing-wen had held a press conference in 744 days, setting a new record. Famous mouthpieces on the island have also criticized Tsai Ing-wen for only reading manuscripts and refusing to communicate with the public, mocking Tsai Ing-wen, "Finally memorized the manuscript this time?"
Taiwan's "China Times News Network" said on the 27th that Tsai Ing-wen had previously publicly accepted the media The record of questions has been stuck on December 12, 2020, when she attended the "Press Conference for the Premiere of Taiwan's Full Record of the War Against Epidemic". After the meeting, she was interviewed by the media and was asked about issues such as the removal of Zhongtian News Channel, Ma Ying-jeou's accusation that freedom of speech has been set back 40 years, and the opening up of the import of pigs and nuclear food. After that, although Tsai Ing-wen held several press conferences one after another, she did not accept questions from media reporters, setting a record of not opening an interview for 744 days. Even when the Democratic Progressive Party's election collapsed in the "nine-in-one" election on November 26, she announced her resignation as chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party and did not accept questions from reporters.
The "China Times News Network" article said that Tsai Ing-wen finally "asked", and some media laughed at themselves, saying that the question that had been kept in their pocket for 744 days could finally be taken out. Tsai Ing-wen's deputy Lai Qingde and heavyweight members of the "cabinet" sat with her until the seats were full and "performed" the one-and-a-half-hour drama. But from the fact that she used the epidemic as an excuse to explain why she did not ask questions for more than two years, it is obvious that Tsai Ing-wen still does not know the reason for the DPP’s nine-in-one defeat.
Taiwanese media observation pointed out that reporters could feel from Tsai Ing-wen's performance throughout the performance that she deliberately showed a soft figure; Lai Qingde sat aside and took notes diligently; Bai Honghui, deputy head of the defense department of the Democratic Progressive Party authority, walked around and gestured when making a policy report in front of a large backboard; although Su Zhenchang was not asked many questions, when he rarely answered, his tone was much gentler. When the media asked a lot of questions, Tsai Ing-wen would ask again, "What was your second question?" The microphone suddenly went silent, and she, who always had a very low volume, even turned up the volume and said, "Can you hear me?" However, the "humble" atmosphere created by these completely collapsed after she responded to the reason why she did not ask questions for 744 days. If everything can be blamed on the epidemic, why can the schedule be so busy during the "nine-in-one" election? Will there be fewer voters than the media?
Tsai Ing-wen told the media, "You don't miss me, you just want to ask questions. I always have to do my homework before I can answer the questions. Give me some time to do my homework." Apparently, Tsai Ing-wen, who has been ridiculed as a "script reader", has deliberately hidden herself from the media in the past period. Now she thinks she has done her homework well, but she uses the epidemic as an excuse and has not apologized for the controversy over Lin Zhijian's paper. Taiwanese media believe that she, who once shouted that "to govern" must be "humble, humble and humble again", she still doesn't know what "humility" is.
In fact, as soon as the news that Tsai Ing-wen held a press conference for an interview on the 27th came out, there was a lot of ridicule on the island. Kuomintang "Legislator" Zheng Liwen posted on Facebook on the 27th that she ridiculed Tsai Ing-wen, "Have you finally memorized the manuscript?" She blasted, "Tsai Ing-wen refuses to communicate with society and is only willing to read the manuscript to escape. No one can accept it." Chen Guanan, chairman of the "China Youth Public Participation Association" in Taiwan, wrote on the 27th that the fact that a democratically elected leader's interview with the media would attract such attention actually reflects the sadness of Taiwan's current political operation. "Tsai Ing-wen only has press conferences left to reflect on."
Guo Zhengliang, the former "legislator" of the Democratic Progressive Party, pointedly pointed out in a political commentary program that Tsai Ing-wen chose this issue to hold a press conference after 744 days because she knew that the United States was watching and "this is an issue that the United States wants." Therefore, she made a formal statement, saying that the "security meeting" passed and "it was me who made the decision." Guo Zhengliang said bluntly that because Tsai Ing-wen needs the support of the United States for the remainder of her term and the 2024 election, "this issue must pass."
