Premier Su buys nine comic books to show support for local creative works
By Wu Po-hsuan / Staff reporter
Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) yesterday showed his support for original creative works by Taiwanese artists by purchasing comic books with Triple Stimulus Vouchers.
Taiwanese could pay NT$1,000 to receive NT$3,000 in stimulus vouchers in a program launched by the government in July to spur consumer spending, which has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of the year.
While visiting the Taiwan Comic Base in Taipei’s Datong District (大同), Su said he has already spent all of his vouchers, so he borrowed the vouchers from his daughter to buy comic books that he promised to take back to his granddaughter.
