Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九/KMT)

Social Housing

Rental social hosing to be mixed with residential housing for sale, but the goal cannot be reached in one step.

Tax Reform

The increased government debt came from investments in infrastructure. Support taxing the rich more

Yu-Chang Case

I did not give instructions to the SIU to investigate the Yu-Chang case. Otherwise, I will withdraw from the race.

Negative Campaign

DPP and chairwoman Tsai are indeed very good at negative campaigning.

Chen Shui-bian

Tsai cannot escape from Chen Shui-bian's shadow because Tsai had surrounded herself with too many of Chen's people.

Administration

Tsai doesn't understand my decision-making circle, which is rather big.  

Social Welfare

Provide cash and welfare to those that are physically unable to work.

Judicial Reform

The practical side of judicial reform is more important than the systemic side. Not necessary to hold a national judicial conference.

Health Insurance Reform

Second-generation NHI reform is the best approach when reform cannot be completed in one step.  

Human Rights

The Human Rights Advisory Council has been in place and could be improved later.

Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文/DPP)

Social Housing

The goal is to build 800,000 social housing units, 10% of residential housing units.   

Tax Reform

Taxation based on real property values, review minimum tax rate.

Yu-Chang Case

Urges Ma not to destroy Taiwan's democracy only to win the election.

Negative Campaign

Blames Ma and the KMT party for smearing Tsai with negative campaigning.

Chen Shui-bian's

Criticizes Ma for living in the past and being unable to throw off Chen Shui-bian complex.

Administration

Ma's decision-making process came from a small circle. People outside the government system exceed their authority and command the government.

Social Welfare

The government would provide proper manpower, social workers and fiscal resources. The focus should be on execution.

Judicial Reform

Will convoke a conference on judicial reform, with citizens participating.

Health Insurance Reform

Will set up an independent health insurance research center.

Human Rights

Will establish a human rights council with independent authority and budget.

Will hold a national fiscal conference

Yu-Chang Case

There they go again. There are always squabblings in Taiwan's elections.

Negative Campaign

Negative campaign probably originated in Tsai Ing-wen's DPP, but KMT is not much better.

Chen Shui-bian

Chen Shui-bian let people in Taiwan down.

Administration

Tsai has difficulty communicating with DPP.

Social Welfare

One (referring to Tsai) walked from south to north of Taiwan, and one (referring to Ma) slept from north to south of Taiwan. Did they really see Taiwan's problems?

Judicial Reform

Will hold a national affairs conference after the election in order to reach a national consensus.

Health Insurance Reform

Incurred arrears for National Health Insurance program is premium payments when he was a governor of Taiwan province

Human Rights
