2024 Taiwan National Election/Carlos Pueblo

 2024 Taiwan National Election/Carlos Pueblo

There is a hotly contest of Taiwan National Election this year 2023 for the actual voting of January 13, 2024 for the head of the Nation, the President as well as members of the Legislative Yuan similar to the House of Representative in the U.S. Taiwan is a genuine nation belongs to the people in Taiwan nothing to do with the current day China. Taiwan was once a colony of the late Manchu Dynasty until it ceded to Japan in 1895. The U.S. defeated Japan in 1945 and The U.S. put no effort to rule Taiwan and invited Chiang Kai-sek's Republic of China army to enter Taiwan after the War. Mao's People Republic of China army defeated Chiang and forced him to be exiled to Taiwan in 1949. In 1996 Taiwan held the first National Election to elect its first citizen voted President to formally made up the needed Self Determination since the end of WWII in 1945. It's been 7 times of such Election to mandate Taiwan as an Independent Nation.

This year, there are four set of Presidential Candidates in Taiwan, the incumbent ruling party DPP Vice President Andrew Lai; the Shin Taipei Mayor You-Yi Hou of the KMP party; former city Mayor of Taipei Wen-Jer Ko of the TPP party. There is also an independent candidate Terry Gou of the Foxconn, a billionaire. Personally I like to vote for Dr. Ko. I can vote if I dare to spend such money to fly back to Taiwan in 2024.

Ko has graduated from the medical school of Taiwan National University, his wife Peggy Chen is also a graduate of the same medical school and still practicing. He has parents with Japanese background between such era of 1895-1945. Like myself that I currently realize that I also have been influence by such civilization from my parents, they were all citizen of the Imperial Japanese citizen with outstanding Japanese influence.

After the graduation of the medical school, he has entered the medical school hospital to practice and becomes a clinical professor of that medical school. That medical school is the only one institution under heavy Japanese trained physicians professional not bothered by the ruling Chinese refugee scholars. He has learned and disciplined by such advanced environment so that when he has become the Mayor of the Capital City Taipei, he has brought a well discipline government to Taiwan. He starts his work at 7:30 am and he has taken city bus to work every day. He doesn't embezzle any penny at all.
