TPP’s Kao has turned into Han 2.0By Lin Han 林志翰At the beginning of 2019, then-Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) was caught on camera playing mahjong while on a holiday in Bali: Han claimed that the “state apparatus” has been monitoring him and his family. In August of the same year, Han claimed that a tracking device had been installed on his car, again pointing his finger at the “state apparatus,” yet failing to put forward any evidence of a tracking device. Kao accused the Democratic Progressive Party of deploying the “state apparatus” to consolidate its political power. Kao’s brazen reply has turned her into Han Kuo-yu 2.0. During weekends, she traveled around the US, with the additional perk of being able to receive reimbursements for her travel expenses.
