Back to watching Taiwanese Election 2020/Carlos Pueblo

After returning home from the cruise, I have been glued to the You Tube

Channels of Taiwanese political discussion of the National Election 2020.

Like most of the male population in Taiwan, I have been very fond of

politics for most of my life. I have inherited from my dad and also passed

it to my children.

First issue of this year is the National Status of Taiwan for all the candidates

who have the desire to run for the highest office. One China and Taiwan is part

of China is no longer the pre-condition. Even Beijing Communist regime keeps

silent for Terry Gou’s two China’s statement, under Chinese Race the Republic

and the People’s Republic are permissible and can be co-existed. Xi is quiet and

I don’t see any angry in Beijing. The old tune of 92 Consensus has been replaced

by Xi’s One Nation and two Systems which is challenged by two millions protest

in Hong Kong and a follow up by Nancy Pelosi and her colleague in the Congress.

A law has been passed to demand election in Hong Kong to elect the leader by

popular vote in 2020 or facing a change of most favorable trading status. If there

is no two systems existed, Hong Kong and China should be the same one to face

Trump’s tariff.  

Is Taiwan a Nation? The answer is yes yet not a regular Nation due to lack of

other nations to recognize it as a nation. It is because of the one China doctrine

and pressure from China. However, most of the population is against Taiwan

be annexed by China under the Communist’s rule. Therefore, the Nationalist

Party and the current incumbent Democratic Progressive Party have both adopted

a national title as the Republic of China in Taiwan. It was in Chinese Mainland before

1949 when the PRC replaced it and expelled KMT to Taiwan. My logic is that Taiwan

Is still a colony of the ROC even though DPP is a local identity.

As an expert observer of the Taiwanese Politics, I must have my first conclusion here

to hope the choice of Taiwanese next President is the Mayor of Taipei, Professor Wen

Jer Ko, M.D. due to his excellent of resume, educational background and achievement,

30 years practice of medicine, and hardworking habits. He is the best of all among the

politicians among the world. He keeps a very clean and efficient city government which

is very much different from a traditional Chinese Government of any kinds.
