"Do you believe certain agency deputies will be able to find these passionate individuals among the vast sea of civil servants? Tang's push for open governance was supported by President Tsai Ing-wen, who attended this year's HITCON Pacific 2016 meeting of hackers in Taipei. In a statement released following the event, Tsai praised Tang's open government initiatives and said the government should maintain dialogue with hackers despite differences of opinion. Tsai said she believed Tang's newfound presence within the government could be felt online and that the digital minister was bringing new trends to government structures just two months after her appointment.
