The DPP’s candidate for the Taipei mayoral race, Puma Shen, has announced he’ll be setting off on an 8-day US tour next Monday. The politician will be making stops in Los Angeles, Washington DC and New York. The visit comes amid rising concerns that Beijing is ramping up repression of critics overseas. But Shen appears not to be afraid of any violent attacks during the trip, stressing that he will not censor himself. Let’s hear what he said.
Puma Shen
DPP Taipei Mayoral Candidate
As China’s No. 1 wanted target, and as a so-called “die-hard Taiwan separatist,” I will never be intimidated by violence. I will not leave anything unsaid. The more they want us to keep quiet, the more we’ll speak up. The more they want to prevent us from engaging with the world, the more exchanges we’ll take part in. With all the recent heat waves around the world, tackling the urban heat island effect has become an important issue. I want to learn how other countries and cities deal with extreme heat, and how they plan urban greenery. I’ll be going to New York, where they are also grapple with rat infestations, so that’s something we’ll discuss.
Rosalia Wu
DPP Lawmaker
This trip serves three purposes: campaigning for the election, expanding city-to-city diplomacy, and strengthening party and parliamentary diplomacy.
Besides campaingning and expanding city-to-city ties, Shen says he also plans to learn about issues affecting Taipei, such as rat control and urban greenery. He’ll be attending the launch of two campaign groups in the US, one for the East Coast and one for the West. He’s also planning on meeting with Taiwanese diaspora and sit with US seneators and representatives. Joining him on the trip will be fellow DPP Lawmakers Rosalia Wu, Chen Pei-yu, Wang Ting-yu, and Legislative Caucus Leader Tsai Chi-chang.

“這是一個三合一的行程，有選務，後援會的行程安排，有城市外交的擴大串聯，也有政黨國會外交”
