Hou Youyi said that cross-Strait issues are the top priority of his administration. If he is elected, after taking office on May 20, he will fully restart cross-Strait dialogue and exchanges on the premise of dignity and friendship. He is willing to implement immediate implementation of transactional negotiations, including opening up tourists, and also With the advent of open land, “We want passenger planes rather than fighter planes, and we want business opportunities rather than crises.”
Hou also mentioned that the mainland election will conduct a trade barrier survey the day before next year’s election. If he is elected, he will release corresponding information on ECFA in the future as soon as he is elected, and he will definitely adopt an open policy. He also called for cross-strait exchanges if he is elected. The other side of the Taiwan Strait should also start to open a large number of mainland tourists to Taiwan in March, instead of the 2,000 daily limit imposed by the Tsai administration.

As for the issue of Taiwan joining regional trade integration, Hou Youyi mentioned the Taiwan-US 21st Century Trade Initiative signed by the Tsai administration and the United States. He questioned that the first phase did not feel open and transparent, and the impact on Taiwan did not seem to be felt. He hoped that the United States should help Taiwan join. For regional economic and trade integration, such as CPTPP or RCEP, he also promised to persuade CPTPP member states within two years of being elected and complete membership before the four-year term is up.
Hou Youyi emphasized that Taiwan and the United States stand in a strong alliance, but Taiwan cannot give up the mainland market. ECFA is too important to interrupt even if the Democratic Progressive Party comes to power.
The industry is also concerned about the problem of labor shortage. Hou Youyi also said that if he is elected, he will significantly relax the immigration policy for blue-collar and white-collar workers. The government will review the immigration policy every quarter and accelerate the opening up of which industries need it. The list of industries to be introduced to blue-collar workers will be adjusted every quarter. For white-collar workers, Workers can create a friendly environment through flexible working hours and other methods to allow talents to stay in Taiwan.
