Hsu Yu-jen: Government's Inadequate Response to High Tariffs and Currency Wars, Calls for Public Opposition to Malicious Referendum
In the face of the dual pressure of high tariffs and currency wars, Kuomintang legislator Hsu Yu-jen criticized the government today for failing to propose effective countermeasures and instead focusing on the malicious referendum process. She called on the public to unite and cast votes against the referendum. Hsu pointed out that under the pressure of high tariffs imposed externally on Taiwan, the government should respond to protect the economy and livelihoods, yet it has chosen to let the public bear the consequences of its wrong energy policies. She expressed concern that the government's slow response to the rising dollar and rapid appreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar has led to significant losses for many industries and citizens. Hsu emphasized the need for Taiwan to unite against political strife and for the government to prioritize economic development over internal power struggles.
