“Before the [Jan. 11 presidential election], the Tsai administration told everyone that it supports Hong Kong, but so far the Tsai administration’s support for Hong Kong appears to be just talk,” KMT Culture and Communications Committee chairwoman Alicia Wang (王育敏) told a news conference in Taipei. Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Wang Ting-yu criticizes the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) in Tainan yesterday, saying that its claims to support Hong Kong and Hong Kongers are just a joke. The Tsai administration’s Hong Kong Humanitarian Aid Project only applies to people who enter Taiwan legally, he said. “Although on the surface the Tsai administration says it wants to support Hong Kong, in reality, it appears to be taking advantage of Hong Kong,” Chen said. The DPP should prioritize the proposed amendments to the Hong Kong and Macau act in the upcoming session, he said.
