Tsai rally crosses Jhuoshuei River

Thursday, 13 October 2011 09:47 Taiwan Tati Cultural & Educational Foundation

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday called on supporters to make their voices heard in the north as she crossed the Jhuoshuei River (濁水溪), the symbolic dividing line between north and south Taiwan.

Yunlin County Commissioner Su Chih-fen (蘇治芬) said crossing the Jhuoshuei symbolized that the DPP’s influence was continuing to spread northwards.

Tsai’s campaign tour moved along the No. 1 Provincial Highway yesterday, bringing her to Citong (莿桐) and Siluo (西螺) townships on the banks of the Jhuoshuei, where she visited temples and roadside rest areas and sampled local dishes.

Academics and politicians continued to express mixed reactions yesterday to Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) “recognition” of the Republic of China (ROC) last weekend, with some members of the pan-green camp voicing strong disapproval.

While most people, including the DPP’s rival in the January presidential elections the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), welcomed the statement, some DPP members expressed displeasure over Tsai’s statement, with DPP Legislator Twu Shiing-jer (涂醒哲) saying that Taiwan is not the ROC and that its status remains undecided.

More Hong Kong residents have become supportive of Taiwan’s efforts to rejoin the UN and fewer are now identifying as Chinese since Beijing authorities blocked imprisoned dissident Liu Xiaobo (劉曉波) from accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, a new poll found.

A Hong Kong University poll conducted earlier this month found that 42 percent of the territory’s residents backed Taiwan’s bid to become a UN member, a 5 percent increase from similar polls in September.
