Wu Xinying, the People’s Party’s 2024 vice-presidential candidate, blurted out at a political statement a few days ago, “I drank Johnnie Walker when I was a kid. Taiwan will move forward. Only by fighting hard will you win.” She instantly became an Internet meme. She was asked about this in an interview a few days ago. I emphasized that I wanted to use the image of “moving forward”, and also said that root beer, guava juice, etc. are “things that we Chinese people drink when we sit down at a table” and there is no need to make a big fuss about it. Unexpectedly, Wu Xinying’s self-proclaimed “Chinese” was again scrutinized by the outside world. In an interview today (26th), she said, “I am Chinese and Taiwanese” and reiterated that she just wanted to use Chinese culture as a metaphor.
Wu Xinying first said at a political conference a few days ago that “when we are young, everyone loves Johnnie Walker”, which caused heated discussions. Later, when she was interviewed on the 24th, she blurted out again when she explained that when people gather together, there are black pine root beer, Beer, guava juice and Johnnie Walker, to her, these are “things that we Chinese drink when we sit down at the table.”
However, Wu Xinying’s self-proclaimed “Chinese” was later questioned, and the Democratic Progressive Party criticized her for having problems with her national identity. Wu Xinying went to Hualien today and was asked in an interview about calling herself “Chinese.” She responded in Taiwanese, “I am Chinese and Taiwanese.” She also said that what she wanted to emphasize is that under Chinese culture, weddings and funerals are inherently important. There are these drinks, and again guava juice, orange juice, black pine root beer, apple cider and Johnnie Walker are all commonly seen.
Recently, Wu Xinying was revealed by famous mouthpiece Li Zhenghao that she had been endorsed by the China United Front Organization as one of the “Top 100 Female Entrepreneurs in China”. She herself also put the award on her resume. In this regard, Wu Xinying explained that the award was the same as the International Economic Forum, and she received the award passively. She did think about whether to release all these awards on the official website at the time. In the time and space background of 2010, there was a dialogue between the two sides. There is good communication whether it is culture or economy, so she hopes that future presidents can also maintain peaceful dialogue with China.
As for Ke Wenzhe’s recent statement that “Taiwan will be sold” when the Kuomintang comes to power, Wu Xinying believes that what Ke Wenzhe wants to emphasize is that in this election, Taiwan’s independence is what the people should think about and care about.
