Have you been notified of the call for the KMT's presidential nomination?

Hou Youyi was interviewed and said that he has been in the public office for such a long time, and he has made the greatest efforts for the country and the people. This is the same original intention and the responsibility that he should fulfill. Let the people expect meaningful social welfare and construction, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is what he wants to do.

As for the Party Central Committee’s decision to recruit in June, the outside world believes that it is to remove obstacles for Hou Youyi and wait until the general inquiry of the New Taipei City Council is over before recruiting to reduce controversy.

Hou Youyi said that the Party Central Committee has the rhythm and method of the election campaign, and will do its best to make the greatest contribution to the country and the people. People look forward to a good life.

Asked whether Guo Taiming, the founder of Hon Hai Group, has been excluded?

Hou Youyi said that Guo Taiming is one of the important leaders of the industrial economy and has made a lot of contributions to the country, especially standing up to buy vaccines when the epidemic is severe. This is something the government cannot do, but Guo is willing to take it. In his heart, if he can do more for the country, "we will all work together."

KMT New Taipei City Councilor Ye Yuanzhi suggested that Hou should speak more on energy, state affairs or cross-strait discussions to increase the confidence of supporters.

Hou Youyi said that whether it is international, diplomatic, or cross-strait issues, we will pool our efforts and gather all viewpoints to do things that meet people's expectations and the current cross-strait and international situation, so that people can live a good life with peace of mind and stability.
