OK, thank you very much.

Personally, you’re not technology addicted?

Yeah. Do you have things like Alexa, or smart home technology...?

I have another question. As a digital minister, how many technical stuff you have at home?

How many people would read this interview, for example?

You are recording all the interviews. Why are you doing this?

Do you think it will be successful then? Or will there be a compromise?

But what do you think will happen now, until March, the government has to present something?

Yeah.

This is true, but do you think perhaps that people are not ready yet?

Yeah, the referendum on same sex marriage was very surprisingly rejected. Were you disappointed about the result?

Yeah!

Last time when I came to Taiwan, we were talking about the referendums. You had these...

On the other hand, in the past, there’d been more and more countries who cut ties with Taiwan due to the great power of China. The last one was El Salvador, I think, now there are only 17 countries who still maintain diplomatic relations with Taiwan. It’s good to have ...

How important is transparency, especially with a neighbor who is more or less the opposite?

When you became minister, you said that you should create a surrounding that is transparent to attract more companies. Were you successful?

Yeah, but this is a good question. When I ask you to delete my data, the question is if you really delete my data.

You are perhaps an exception. Where should be the limits? It it important that we have rules and regulations all over the world about ethics of data?

Governments, companies, everybody wants to have more data from people.

This year we have a G20 summit in Japan. One of the main topics will be the ethic part of data. What do you think? Where should the limits be?.

I’m always wondering if you are not forgetting half of the population. In my country a lot of people are old. I can tell you they are telling me, "I don’t know how this works." They have the impression that they are not part of society anymore. How is the ...

Do you teach this in school?

They are very different from the Germans, obviously.

Really?

What do you think? Are people in Taiwan aware that you need a secure password?

As I told you our chancellor recently came to Japan. It was very interesting because she was talking a lot about data and data security. She said, "Yeah, you know, we are talking a lot about data security and personal data but then people have passwords only ’one, two, three, ...

You think it is justified to ban such a company from the market?

What do you think about this controversy about Huawei?

You don’t feel any higher tension with China. This has nothing to do with cyber attacks you would say?

Since you became digital minister, was there a higher rate of cyber attacks against Taiwan or not?

You are not afraid that somebody will, let’s say, buy them and take them away from Taiwan, that they are going to another country if they are so good in their field?

They were happy to come to you?

Let’s say you invite not your enemies but...

Can you tell me how Taiwan is protecting itself from cyber attacks from outside?

I read that only a few countries were interested to getting this data on cyber attacks from Taiwan. I think this is because they don’t want to have problems with China. Is this true or not?

I heard or read that you proposed to share cyber attack data with other countries. Was there a huge interest for such data?

Next year, you will have a presidential election. How do you think you could protect your country from outside influencing?

You are just next to China. Everybody knows there are high tensions between China and Taiwan. Can you give me an example how China perhaps tries to come into your Internet?

Our Chancellor came to Japan last week. She was talking about China and emphasized that we need to protect ourselves from China.

First of all, the United States and other Western countries are increasingly alarmed over industrial espionage, technology theft and control over key technologies by China. Do you share such concerns?
