When you come to Denmark, send us an email.
As the Digital Minister, how much do you go abroad?
So, that’s why.
Denmark is green.
Which countries do Taiwan aspire to?
Do you only tweet in English?
And Facebook, Snapchat…
Yeah, that’d be cool. Thank you. How much do you actually use social media as a part of your, I won’t say politics because it isn’t politics.
Great.
It’s not something that will be published or anything. It’s just for our files.
We’d also like to have a picture with you. As a part of this trip, we’re doing a report.
Can I take a picture of your office?
You’re head of the jury. That is not a problem when you’re part of this democracy?
When you say hackathon, you say we, you’re a part of hackathon?
Oh, what we talked about earlier.
What exactly is a hackathon?
What about this hackathon?
When you say we, it’s Taiwan?
How much do you collaborate with other countries? If you see a problem, for example, you mentioned Australia, and you already have a solution, do you then collaborate?
Can I ask you something completely else? [laughs]
We have that in Denmark too.
We have the same. I guess it’s the same problem.
Also in Kaohsiung?
Nice. Woo!
It’s cheaper in Hualien?
We’ll have a cheap trip there.
In Taipei, yeah. Exactly.
I hear you, but when we are talking to people living here, I get a feeling that the PPP is rather low.
The price of the housing is one problem. As well, the salary is low.
Because the housing here is so expensive or because everything is more expensive?
Isn’t that a problem that a lot of people…We talked with several journalists saying that you can’t be a journalist having a family and living in Taipei at the same time. How about that? Is the people not rich enough, or pretty rich…?
We recognize, maybe it’s a problem, but I guess it’s a problem for some Taiwanese people that the payment is pretty low even though the country is getting richer and richer.
…to say the least. What are your concerns about the future of Taiwan? What is the goal? What are your concerns as well?
China is also pretty big…
Maybe this is a really hard question, but the future of Taiwan, for me, the country seems so international, and you have freedom of expressions and all that kind of stuff and some pretty nice medias as well.
I want to talk about transparency, but earlier you talked about radical transparency.
I don’t have…
What is your goal as a digital minister? Is there something you really want Taiwan to solve?
Do you wish to work with them? It seems pretty, I would say, obvious, but it could be a good match, for example, with all this China infiltration.
You aren’t afraid that China can come in anyways?
I know that Iran does not, but the US was inside their nuclear facilities four years before anyone ever noticed.
You said that you had a very good industry for white hat hackers.
Yeah. Where do you as digital minister stand on the face recognition cameras?
Sorry. Yeah, OK.
Yeah, but the…
4G.
Sorry. What’s that?
Yeah, exactly. Are you afraid that China are looking into your work?
In Europe, we’re pretty concerned about China because we’re pretty US-friendly also in terms of our relations with them. We are talking about China invading or outdoing the US and also a lot about surveillance, about…
Can I ask you about something completely…
