Poll shows concern over Chinese port investments‘REOPEN INVESTIGATIONS’: A New Power Party survey showed satisfaction with President Tsai, although most want action on Chinese stakes in ports and science parksBy Hsieh Chun-ling and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerA poll conducted by the New Power Party (NPP) showed that a majority of respondents want authorities to crack down on Chinese investment in Taiwan’s science parks and ports, the party said yesterday. Chinese investment in science parks and port areas is viewed as a national security concern, the NPP told a media briefing in Taipei. The DPP had not listened to the NPP’s suggestion of increasing housing taxes for those with multiple properties, which would likely have helped curb prices, NPP Chairwoman Chen Jiau-hua (陳椒華) said. The survey also asked respondents how satisfied they were with the performance of President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) and Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌). The poll showed that 56 percent were satisfied with Tsai’s performance and 37.4 percent were dissatisfied, while 49.5 percent were satisfied with Su and 43.1 percent dissatisfied.
