Since the DPP and Tsai Ing-wen took office, there’s an atmosphere of abundant talent pervading the green camp.
For instance, the impeccable Defense Minister Feng Shih-kuan.
For instance, Lin Quang, the Premier responsible for pushing through the Forward-looking Program and tax reform, praised by Kuan (the father of the bride of KMT Chairman) for his remarkable work.
For instance, Wu Yin-ning, a literature specialist, who went from being a simple secretary at Xizhou Township Office, suddenly discovered by President Tsai as a rare talent of historic proportions, was promoted exceptionally to become General Manager of Taipei Agricultural Marketing Corporation, controlling Taiwan’s agricultural distribution lifeline.
For instance, Ku Li-hsiung, a legal expert, who shortly after Tsai became president, took over the Ill-gotten Party Assets Committee, diligently punishing the KMT with various methods. Suddenly, the DPP and Tsai discovered that Ku actually possessed hidden financial and banking expertise, thus dispatching him to lead the Financial Supervisory Commission, controlling Taiwan’s commercial and financial lifeline.
A Facebook user named Wang commented that watching these recent dark horse stories reminded him of the Three Kingdoms strategy game where players search rural areas for hidden talent. Wang remarked that despite playing Three Kingdoms for extended periods, he couldn’t always find talent, yet the DPP finds talent so easily—every DPP member can be discovered by Tsai possessing abilities nobody knew, perhaps even unknown to themselves. Tsai truly possesses the vision of a legendary talent scout.
Wang’s observation is quite sarcastic.
Truthfully, throughout Tsai’s nearly two years in office, people have genuinely wondered: is it that the DPP harbors numerous hidden talents keeping their skills secret, or does it simply follow the centuries-old political maxim ‘the greater the chaos, the greater the profits’?
I’m uncertain. What do you think?
