According to Taiwan’s "United Daily News", Taiwan’s leader Tsai Ing-wen was interviewed yesterday afternoon by the host of the radio program "Treasure Island World", targeting Taiwan Before the "Former President of the Executive Yuan" Lai Qingde registered for the Taiwanese leader's party primary election, Tsai Ing-wen asked whether Lai Qing-de was elected or not. Zheng Hongyi asked Tsai Ing-wen "Have you asked him?" Tsai Ing-wen paused for a second , First said "Let me think about it", and then said, "It seems that there is no chance to ask." Zheng Hongyi asked, "Have a trustee asked?" Tsai Ing-wen said, "I don't need to ask someone to ask, or someone will be curious about this question. I believe many people should ask him."

Zheng Hongyi asked Lai Qingde to "believe in democracy." Tsai Ing-wen said that it is right to believe in democracy, but democracy is not necessarily competition. There are other ways to achieve the goals that society wants to achieve. Competition is a way, not just Competition can achieve our goals.

Zheng Hongyi asked Lai Qingde that the best results will be obtained through competition in the primary election. Tsai Ing-wen said that this is of course one way, but it does not rule out the possibility that everyone can discuss an integrated method on one platform and compete. Going down is of course a way. Competition will inevitably have cracks. The integration after the competition is more difficult than the integration before the competition. "This is not a question of feeling, it is logically inevitable." It is difficult to avoid cracks in any competition.

Compared with Lai Qingde who insisted on finishing the primary election, Zheng Hongyi asked Tsai Ing-wen if he wanted to finish the primary election? Tsai Ing-wen said that regardless of whether the primaries will go to the end or not, this is just a proposition. The goal is to integrate the greatest strength, and this is the greatest goal.

Zheng Hongyi asked about the evaluation of the election? Tsai Ing-wen said, of course, we do our best and hope that with our three-year "ruling" efforts and performance, we can continue to get the support of voters. Does

want to say something to Lai Qingde? Tsai Ing-wen said that everyone has a common responsibility to ensure victory in 2020 and let our regime continue. One plus one is indeed greater than two. Zheng Hongyi asked again, is there anything to say to Lai Qingde's supporters? Tsai Ing-wen said that the same reasoning is still true. The DPP still has to do its utmost to integrate and gather the greatest strength of society to win the 2020 "general election."

As for Cai Laipei's question, Tsai Ing-wen said that our supporters and party members have a lot of ideas. There are many people who Cai Lai talks with. There should be other ideas and ideas.

Zheng Hongyi also asked, have you ever thought about not being re-elected? Tsai Ing-wen said categorically that no, the biggest responsibility of the leader of the Taiwan region is to allow the "ruling" to continue and succeed.
