TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The proposed Anti-Infiltration Act, energy policies, alleged corruption and angry exchanges about each other’s capabilities again dominated the third and final live policy presentation on television by President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), Kaohsiung City Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) and People First Party (PFP) Chairman James Soong (宋楚瑜) Friday (Dec. 27).

However, the three rivals will still meet each other for a real debate with interaction and questions from journalists on Sunday (Dec. 29).

During Friday’s televised event, Han again lashed out at alleged corruption in Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration, while attacking the role of the factions inside the ruling party.

Tsai responded by saying Han was using the style of classical Chinese fiction to describe her party. She said she had not heard any policy proposals from the Kuomintang (KMT) candidate, only attacks against her. She went on to list Han’s failed promises as mayor of Kaohsiung, from attracting Disney to invest in an amusement park to plans for a Ferris wheel.
