Whether it will help to drive Kaohsiung’s development will depend on whether the money is spent where it is most needed. Kaohsiung’s development and governance cannot be achieved through telekinesis, slogans or fantasies. Good job opportunities and a good living environment are also the only ways to give Kaohsiung residents a good chance to strike it rich. Taiwan then shifted its industrial focus toward industrial innovation and the creative industry in response to global development trends. Hopefully the Han administration will be able to live up to the hopes of Kaohsiung residents and not let them down.
