It’s Chiang’s first time attending the annual forum, which landed his predecessor (and current presidential hopeful) Ko Wen-je in controversy at times.
Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) delivered his final annual policy address at the Taipei City Council on Thursday and Friday, during which he said it was unclear what “disturbing Taiwan” meant in the context of Chinese military aircraft operating near Taiwan and that if he were president, he too would “order aircraft to cross the median line of the Taiwan Strait.”
Ko made the comments when asked by city councilors about the city government’s plan to hold the Taipei-Shanghai Twin-City Forum via videoconference next week, even though the Taipei City Council in January approved a budget of nearly NT$1.4 million (US$46,751)
