Welcome to the program. With 85 days to Election Day, President Tsai Ing-wen headed to Kaohsiung on Friday for an industrial tour. During her stay at the harbor city, Tsai leveled criticism at Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu for taking three months'' leave for his presidential campaign. She also responded to Han''s threat to undo two key policies of her administration. President Tsai headed south to Kaohsiung and paid a call at the office of ASE Technology Holding Company. In her speech at the tech firm, she gave emphasis to the importance the central government attaches to Kaohsiung.Tsai Ing-wenPresidentIf you take a close look, you''ll notice that among us are people with connections to Kaohsiung. So Kaohsiung''s industries and enterprises need not worry. The central government can hear Kaohsiung''s voice loud and clear. When city leaders are habitually absent or if they go ahead and take leave, the administration''s operations can''t help but suffer. And at this stage, Kaohsiung''s development can''t afford to stagnate.It was a thinly veiled rebuke of her 2020 rival, Mayor Han. Tsai addressed Han''s campaign pledge to undo her workweek reforms and to kill the Pingtung high-speed rail project.Tsai Ing-wenPresidentAs a presidential candidate, whenever you wish to comment on major policies, you must first understand the context of those policies. You must be able to demonstrate a profound understanding of the matter or the policy, instead of simply running your mouth. What exactly is his position on the five-day workweek? If he doesn''t want to keep one fixed day off and one flexible rest day, would he rather revert to one day off a week? The high-speed rail''s southern expansion will improve the balance of regional development. Before presidential candidates express their views, they absolutely must do their homework. They cannot merely engage in political attacks and defense.With less than three months to Election Day, the president is campaigning at home while her former premier Lai Ching-te stumps for her in America. At a rally for supporters in the U.S. Midwest, Lai urged the crowd to go home and vote to secure Tsai''s reelection and a majority in the Legislative Yuan.
