Original title: “Olympic fever”!Tsai Ing-wen sent fighters to welcome the athletes back to Taiwan, and the island criticized: too snobbery
[Global Times Special Correspondent Zhang Ruo]The Chinese Taipei team performed well in the Tokyo Olympics. In order to win the young votes, Tsai Ing-wen jumped out and used military aircraft, but was severely criticized.
On the afternoon of the 4th, 12 members of the Chinese Taipei Badminton Team, including men’s doubles champion Wang Qilin and Li Yang, and women’s singles runner-up Dai Ziying, returned to Taiwan on a China flight. Taiwan’s “Ministry of National Defense” spokesperson Shi Shunwen said that as directed by Tsai Ing-wen to express the authorities’ support for sports, four “Phantom 2000” fighters and two reserve aircraft were arranged to take off from Hsinchu Air Force Base to greet Hua who carried the players back to Taiwan. Flight machine. He also said that it is an honor for soldiers to welcome the hero back. Zhongshi electronic report calculated an account: the “Phantom” fighter aircraft maintenance cost per hour (excluding ground costs) is about 800,000 yuan (NTD, the same below), and the Air Force plans the accompanying flight mission for about one and a half hours, 6 A fighter jet will cost at least 6 million yuan.
This move was severely criticized by public opinion on the island. The Kuomintang “legislator” Zheng Zhengqian believes that it is inappropriate and quite absurd to mix “national defense” with sports. In particular, using military aircraft for defense operations as a cheerleader for Olympic athletes weakens the dignity and seriousness of the Taiwan military. Former “diplomat” Liu Shijie pointed out two reasons for objection: First, the Taiwan Air Force has been under great pressure in the face of the People’s Liberation Army’s frequent circumvention of Taiwan in recent years. The pressure of logistical maintenance”; the second is that athletes who have returned to Taiwan before did not have the courtesy of being accompanied by a military plane. “What’s more, Guo Weichun also won the gold medal.” Pharmacist Lin Shifeng questioned that the treatment of these contestants out of the competition is not as good as that of accompanying officials. They have to wait until they are awarded to say they are welcoming heroes. “Such a government is too snob!” Taipei City Councillor Wang Hongwei also said, Tsai Ing-wen The heat of the Olympic Games has reached the sky, but it is disgusting.
Many netizens bluntly said that during the epidemic, many people faced the miserable situation of unemployment and no income, but the authorities engaged in such meaningless ostentation and wasted public money on shows. Together with the “power of the times” that belong to the green camp, they also believe that the cost of deploying military aircraft is too great. If these costs can be invested in sports development, they can better express their support for athletes. The United News Network commented on the 4th that politicians continue to use social media to post enthusiasm, and even directly use Air Force fighters to “escort” the players who won the medals. Although they can highlight their importance to sports, they have been in the long run. In terms of “these icing on the cake is really disgusting and disgusting.”
The Olympics is coming to an end, and Tsai Ing-wen is still rushing to catch up on the heat. She delivered a speech at the DPP Central Committee meeting on the 4th, saying that the delegation has won 11 medals, including 2 gold medals, 4 silver medals, and 5 bronze medals, representing that the resources invested by the authorities in the past few years are effective. People’s Party “legislator” Qiu Chenyuan stated that Tsai Ing-wen has posted 32 East Olympic-related Facebook pages in a row, but since August 1st, the central and southern regions, including Yunlin and Chiayi, have been devastated by heavy rains, but she has not been seen. Any concerns and expressions, “Does she prefer to be the director of sports?” He criticized the DPP for maintaining online voice for elections, as long as it is related to young people, it will give priority to it.
Dongsen News.com disclosed that the athletes achieved good results this time are behind decades of development, including daily training, world warfare and post-retirement care. Many banks have actually played the role of sports promoters. Like Heku Bank, there are badminton, table tennis and baseball teams, including Dai Ziying, Zhou Tiancheng and other badminton players, as well as Zhuang Zhiyuan, Lin Yunru and Zheng Yijing, all of which are members of the Heku team.

Long-term sponsorship. It is understood that these banks excavate and cultivate potential athletes from middle schools, and then include them as reserve teams and full-time players based on their performance. The players are also bank staff members. After retirement, they can be transferred to coaches, consultants, or bank staff. Not only is there no worries, but there is also the opportunity to create another career peak. Zeng Xuezhi, the deputy general manager of the Land Bank, was transferred to the land bank badminton team after his retirement. Internet celebrity lawyer Lin Zhiqun said with a smile that it was unexpected that so many bank employees were sent to the competition on the island this time.
