Brief politic affairs of Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo


Brief politic affairs of Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo

Mayor of the Capital City Taipei, Professor Ko( KoP), is visiting the eastern
U.S. for the time being. There are brief political affairs occurred also in
Taiwan. Former Mayor of Tainan and also the Primer, Ching-teh Lai has
registered to the primary of the Presidency of the Democratic Progressive
Party in 2020 national election, a direct challenge to the incumbent Tsai
In-wen. We, Taiwanese, all anticipate a three way campaign in 2020, Lai,
Ko, and a representative of KMT( Nationalist Chinese Party.)

Mayor Ko’s visit in NYC has three interesting speeches which I have watched
them all on You Tube including questions and answers. He has just finished
his visit in the big apple and on his way to Washington D.C. and I don’t expect
him to be received by any of the Trump administration. Trump is on the run
and there is nothing else that his deputy can have their mind concentrated in
the international affairs. They are all facing the laws now. I hope Taiwanese
medias understand the U.S. political situation for the moment.

I don’t really know if there is any urgent need of Trump or any think tanks to
receive any party from Taiwan. The U.S. White House has entangled so much
issue from Trump himself down to most of his associates. They are either under
criminal or civil investigation by the courts or by the congress for their possible
obstruction of justice, violation of campaign finance, tax evasion, and Russian
collusion, etc. Trump is also busy in building his Long Wall and tariffs with China.
He might forget his dealing with Kim Jung-un of the North Korea. Taiwan is not
an urgent issue now. Tsai has already intended to buy 24 F-16 fighter jets from
Boeing.

I am very pleased that Ko has established his systems, mostly under SOP standard
operation procedure, to manage his city while he is on the foreign tours such as
Israel and the U.S. I am looking forward to his running for 2020 Taiwanese President
and I believe that will be a very interesting campaign in Taiwanese history.
