Taipei Mayor @KP_Taipei's party Taiwan People Party issued a statement questioning whether #Taiwan president @iingwen and ruling party @DPPonline's support for #HongKong, doubting whether Tsai is only capable of issuing "statements" but not able to take concrete steps ...
... to amend article 18 of the #HongKong and Macau Affairs Regulation. This was part of their campaign advertisement which focused on #DPP candidate @chimaichen's campaign slogan that he will "make Kaohsiung the second home for #HK people" if he wins the by-election on Saturday.
"If a president who won 8.17 million votes is only willing to issue statement after statement in public and on Facebook, why would people in Kaohsiung think they can elect a Mayor who will really support #HongKong?"
"If a politician who has really done something in real life keeps chanting slogans, everyone will support him/her. But if they didn't do anything in real life but only knows when to chant slogans, it is a typical 'capitalizing on certain groups of people.'"
"The DPP kept chanting all kinds of slogans to support #HongKong before the election, but after they won, they began to use all kinds of excuses including 'the existing legal frameworks are complete,' 'we care about what's happening in #HongKong but we won't intervene,' ...
... but they still haven't really passed any significant legislation that can really make a difference. The TPP doesn't use slogans to support #HongKong, but we take real actions to explore how to defend human rights under the circumstances that won't impact #Taiwan's development
. We even think about how to further improve #Taiwan's development while offering humanitarian assistance. Real actions mean more than using large amounts of resources to insert slogans into the media."
