KMT Presidential candidate Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱)’s campaign headquarters have begun to gear up. According to informed sources, Yiin Chii-ming, a former Economics Minister and president of National Policy Foundation, the KMT think tank, would be Hung’s campaign manager. Hung’s campaign office has also announced new spokespersons this morning.

Yesterday, Yu Tzu-hsiang (游梓翔), Hung's campaign office spokesperson, said that Yiin had participated in discussions of Hung’s policy planks. As Hung has been visiting Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung recently, Yu added, the Hung office would announce the lineup of her cadres in her campaign team when she came back to Taipei.

Yu plans to resign as Hung’s spokesperson in August and return to his teaching position. The Hung campaign office announced two new spokespersons to replace him today. They are Chen Yu-mei (陳玉梅), a former Taipei City Councilwoman and former Deputy Minister of the Overseas Community Affairs Council, and Hsieh Lung-chieh (謝龍介), Tainan City Councilman and head of the KMT Tainan chapter.

It is expected that Hung will release her campaign white paper in August. The white paper will cover areas such as the economy, labor, taxation, cross-Strait relations, national defense, education, and culture. Yu stated that the white paper would be written in succinct language, to be concise, plain, and easily understandable to the public through different media presentations.

Yu said that in addition to taking the initiative, in response to DPP Presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文)’s policies, Hung would also introduce relevant policies so that the public could compare the policies of the two candidates. Yu added that Hung would also visit local communities to introduce appropriate local policies.
