Insightful View: Professor Hu You-wei: Support Han Kuo-yu Because We Want to Live

Professor Hu You-wei wrote an article analyzing the reasons behind the massive public gathering supporting Han Kuo-yu at Ketagalan Boulevard before the 2020 presidential election. The article suggests that this unprecedented social movement reflects the public"s strong dissatisfaction with the Tsai Ing-wen government"s cross-strait policy, pension reform, energy policy leading to air pollution, and the Anti-Infiltration Act causing panic over free speech and economic hardship. It argues that supporting Han Kuo-yu stems from an urgent sense of crisis "for the well-being of themselves and the next generation," signifying "a mandate from the people encompassing life and death stakes for a change in ruling party."
