<strong>Questions of forum waste</strong>
Former minister of health and welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), the Democratic Progressive Party’s nominee for the Taipei mayoral election, has said that the Taipei-Shanghai Twin-City Forum, which was conducted online on Tuesday last week and lasted only 90 minutes, was a waste of money, costing NT$950,000 with little substance to show for it.
In response to Chen’s criticism, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Chiang Wan-an (蔣萬安), the KMT’s Taipei nominee, said that Chen was being narrow-minded, that promoting cross-strait communication and opening up opportunities for exchanges was a positive thing, and that NT$950,000 was “absolutely not a waste
