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.
