Tim: So we are very happy today to be here at the campaign headquarters for Sean Lien, who is the KMT candidate for the Taipei Mayoral election. Thank you very much for joining us today, Mr. Lien. Lien: Hi, Tim. How are you and thank you very much. Happy to have the chance to talk to all the audience. Tim: Let's move to question one. So, many are concerned about the rising housing cost in Taipei. Tell us about your proposal to ensure that affordable housing is available to city residents. Lien: The first policy initiative that we proposed was that we're gonna raise the tax for luxury condos, or in the U.S., people call it luxury tax. The purpose of doing that is to use this part of tax. The amount of tax after we increase the tax rate to subsidize those social minority, meaning that those people that are economically under-privileged or economically weaker. Those people include, for example, women from domestic violence, abuse, or single parents, so we're gonna, we're gonna use this tax policy to help those people and I think these are the ones in this country or in this city that needs the help the most. And that's the number one part for all the housing initiative, number two part is that, uh, we're proposing to build minimal 20,000 units of public housing for younger generation and for people who live in the city cannot get a proper.. uh.. decent housing. We're gonna build high-quality condos or high-quality apartments and also within those proposed sites we are gonna incorporate a lot of social services, like daycare center for elderly people, childcare center, kindergarten, maybe a community center. Our purpose is to make sure these social housing can integrate other existing community, the neighbor communities because in Taiwan we were realize, especially in Taipei, we realize the difficulty of building out those project housing is that most likely you’ll run into a lot of strong opposition from neighboring communities, because in the past a lot of those communities in Taiwan, especially in Taipei, they kind of look at the social housing or project housing and the thing …(聽嘸), this is something that's gonna damage our real estate price and it's gonna affect our community negatively, so we wanna minimize that kind of impact. Tim: Salary has been stagnant for many in Taiwan for over a decade and young workers have been by far the hardest hit. Do you think that Taipei municipal government has any role in reversing this trend? What policies would you propose to help boost salary for young people and prevent the city's talent from leaving for higher paying jobs and opportunities overseas? Lien: If you wanna increase the salary or average income for younger generation, I guess you have to go back to the basic rules of economics, which is to create more jobs. Definitely the city government is playing a key role in creating more jobs. The actual way of doing this is, number one is by attracting more foreign investment. We kind of notice that a lot of foreign investment are pulling out of China because of the deteriorating environment in China, but these investment did not come to Taiwan. So we're gonna try really hard to attract more foreign investment, more foreign corporations to r e-domicile to Taipei, which is key in creating jobs, and also we're gonna help those people who try to set up their own business, you know, a lot of younger generation, they wanna create their own companies, we wanna help the younger generation to have a chance to realize their dreams and goals in life. Reducing rental costs, for example, we're gonna set up sort of a incubation center and provide subsidize rent for those new startup companies, and also we wanna provide the memory(?聽嘸) services and also consulting from relevant experts, lawyers or accountants. Also, we cannot forget about the importance of education. So we also wanna increase the competitiveness of our younger generations by focusing on educations, especially when it comes to programs to encourage our students and college students in the city to go abroad, to study advanced technology and advanced subjects. Tim: What polices do you think the city should be pursuing to make Taipei an attractive place to live, for both white-collar and blue-collar workers? And let’s take these two routes separately, for white-collar foreign workers, how do you think that Taipei can develop its international competiveness to attract foreign talent? And for blue-collar workers, what do you think the city should be doing to make life better for foreign labors and domestic workers and to ensure smooth integration of foreign spouses into Taiwanese society? Lien: This question requires probably one hour to answer, but I'll just cut it short into one sentence. To make Taipei a more livable city for all the white-collar and blue-collar alike, and also I guess as a society we need to be more convenient for foreign immigrants, not just blue-collar immigrants from some of the South-East Asia. Obviously, we're gonna provide a lot of subsidy and a lot of social services for those blue-collar immigrants from south-east Asia. But for white-collar, I guess they need different things, education. In Taipei, we definitely have some international schools offered , pretty high-quality educations, but also the city-wise, you need to be more convenient to foreigners, for example, English sign, that’s one thing I’m not very happy about Taipei because I look at street signs I realize it's very confusing, and that’s been a question for more than ten years. It hasn't been resolved completely. That's something I'm gonna do, number one. So you don't wanna people come to Taiwan and get lost all the time, alright? You wanna people to be able to find their home or hotels. So, those little details they really counts. And obviously I think we've got better quality air, you know, clean air as opposed to China or even Hong Kong. But, so, we ar e probably gonna do a lot of things like encouraging electric ..(聽嘸) and all sort of things, sort of clean energy to further improve our environment, make it a more livable.. But we need to improve not just on the hardware, but also software. So, I'll make this community, make this city more dynamic, more global. I guess that's something we need to work really hard going forward. Tim: Finally, both candidates in this election are new comers to politics. What makes you the most qualified person to lead the city and what direction w ill you take it in? Lien: New ideas. My capability in managing business in the past and also our goals, I think I can really enforce the policies and that’s something I've been very proud of myself in the past in the private sectors. And also we need some new ideas, innovations, ok? We cannot draw on our past glory and sort of kind of stuck here and not moving forward. And by moving forward, I think we create a lot of opportunity and that driving force innovation. So, I think because my background in the private enterprise and as a venture capitalist and also as a financier, and also as sort of a half-baked politician, because I was involved in a lot of KMT affairs in the past, I think I'll be able to bring different sides on the same table and really work out something better for the future of Taipei. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.70.147.95 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/PublicIssue/M.1415178173.A.D51.html ※ 編輯: oxasshole (61.70.147.95), 11/05/2014 17:15:05
