TAIPEI (TVBS News) — President Tsai Ing-wen on Saturday (Nov. 11) attributed the rule of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) since 2016 to the Taiwanese people's support of its capable administration driving Taiwan in the right direction.
In response to the opposition's accusations about the DPP being the dominant party, President Tsai stressed that Taiwan has robust democratic elections, and a system of checks and balances, saying, "People come first in Taiwan."
Emphasizing that Taiwan needs to continue along the right path, she mentioned that the DPP and its presidential candidate Lai Ching-te are the right choice for the Taiwanese people.
President Tsai stated that Taiwan's national power has enhanced since the DPP took office over seven years ago, as Taiwan's GDP grew stronger from NT＄17.5 trillion in 2016 to potentially reach NT＄23 trillion in 2023. "Taiwanese should feel proud of ourselves," Tsai said.
