This article uses just 31 characters—a simple bank account analogy—to summarize the financial impact of each ROC president: Chiang Kai-shek opened the account, Chiang Ching-kuo made deposits, Lee Teng-hui made withdrawals, Chen Shui-bian made thefts, Ma Ying-jeou made supplementary deposits, and Tsai Ing-wen closed the account. Through this extremely concise method, the article expresses commentary on the fiscal situations across different periods.
