Yes, I think my politics is that of credible neutrality. I don’t belong to any political parties. When I filed my cabinet HR form in 2016, in the gender field, I wrote ‘not applicable’, and in the party field also ‘not applicable’. So, I am not binary, not just in gender, but also in left and right wing and so on. Because I believe a bird needs two wings to fly. So basically, the idea here is that I take all the sides. If there are some parts of Taiwan that I cannot fathom why they have this ideology, why they form this party, I always think it’s my problem. It’s not these people’s problem. And I always spend some time to hang out with them, to live with them, to ethnographical just hanging out, to hang out and make stories together. And then I begin to see the world from their perspective. And only then, do I make judgments.
