By Stacy Hsu / Staff reporterChinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairwoman Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱) yesterday dismissed calls for the KMT to reduce the party’s assets to zero as a “pseudo-issue,” saying that the party would at least need chairs and tables. Meanwhile, at yesterday’s handover ceremony, Hung also shrugged off criticism that the KMT does not appreciate young talent. “I believe the KMT caucus and I share similar opinions in this regard,” Hung said. Some critics’ comments that the party does not value young people are unfair in certain respects. “My stance on the matter is basically the same as the KMT caucus, but I suppose the phrase ‘reducing party assets to zero’ does not include desks and chairs,” Hung said on the sidelines of a handover ceremony for leaders of the KMT’s local youth associations in Taipei yesterday.
