Presidential Election in Taiwan iin 2024/Carlos Pueblo

 Presidential Election in Taiwan in 2024/Carlos Pueblo

Taiwan National Election has been started now, National President as well as the Legislative House. Three parties shall chase for the President seat and the majority of the House. Currently the incumbent Democratic Progressive Party nominate William Lai, the incumbent Vice President, Taiwan People's Party will have its Party Chairman, former Taipei City Mayor, Dr. Ko Wen-jer to run, while Chinese Nationalist Party(Chiang Kai-sek's old Chinese exile force) will nominate New Taipei City incumbent Mayor Hou Yo-yi to run. I prefer Dr. Ko and there are several reasons.

He has his unique ideas to run the Nation and he clearly describes it on his books, speeches, and showing it during his 8 years mayor in the Capital City of Taipei. He is a very well learned person with sense of hummer. He can explain complicate issues in a simple and understandable way. He believes that Taiwan must talk to China for a main reason of cultural influence even though most of the population refuse to identify themselves as Chinese yet current Taiwanese are more Chinese than Communist ruled Chinese in China. He is for Taiwanese Independent away from one China. He doesn't believe we can cut off Chinese influence immediately. We need talk to China like the US still attempt to talk to China even the economic sanction is still in progress. He is pragmatic on every front yet he has a principle which is non  negotiatble which is Taiwan is an independent Nation from China.

In his 8 years tenure, I don't see the current KMT Mayor finds any corruption cases on him and his team. This the first time showing in Taipei for a long period of time, as a matter of fact since DPP's Chen Sui-bien left Taipei City Hall in 1998. 

He has a very adorable solid education and medical career in the University of Taiwan. He also has a very good traditional Chinese civilization influence as well as his parental Japanese cultural discipline while he has learned it from Taiwan University Hospital. He does what he says or he says what he means. He can improve Taiwan like he has improved Taipei in an excellent way.
