The three vice presidential candidates yesterday wrangled over foreign policy and the Constitution in a televised debate.

In her opening remarks, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice presidential candidate Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) said Taiwan must strive to keep pace in a fast-changing world.

The Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) plans, such as reintroducing the cross-strait service trade agreement and opening up Taiwan to large groups of Chinese university students, allowing them to seek jobs in the nation after obtaining degrees, are examples of its “old mindset,” Hsiao said.
