It symbolizes Taiwan’s magnificence, and issues such as national security, competitiveness and internationalization. This is the core of our campaign.
Wu showed off two versions of his campaign poster, with his image framed in white and blue. He says the choice of color aims to show that issues such as national security go above party factions. In one version of the poster, his face is shown in full color, while in the other it is shown as a silhouette. At the press conference, Wu was joined by the director of his campaign office, Wang Shih-chien, and independent Taipei City Councilor Chiu Wei-chieh.

Political parties sometimes have people connected to mafias, involved in corruption or some other unfavorable forces. Meanwhile, Enoch Wu is here demonstrating moral courage, and offering suggestions that reflect his lofty personal politics. Wu is a conscientious force within the DPP. Elections are, of course, about selecting people of talent and ability.

When Wu lost in the last legislative election he was not discouraged. He worked resolutely at the grassroots level, and served the local community. Wu is well-prepared, and I support him. If others lob low blows at him, we will take the high ground.
Wu’s rival from the KMT, Wang Hung-wei, has recently spoken critically of her DPP opponent. Wu on Tuesday responded to her allegations.

We can’t control our rival, or stop them from smearing us and attacking us. What we can control is to respond to such big challenges by being ourselves and acting with a clear conscience.
Wu seemed unfazed by his rival’s criticism, choosing to persist with campaign. Whether Wu’s efforts in the community have paid off or not will be seen at the polls.
