Media person Huang Yangming recently claimed in the live broadcast of Zhu Xueheng, a garment manufacturer, that the founder of Hon Hai Group, Guo Taiming, was asked by senior party and government officials to sign the “2024 non-candidacy for president” in order to purchase the BNT vaccine last year, and Guo Dong also signed it. . The relevant statement sparked discussion, and the Presidential Office responded that it had not heard of the matter, and was surprised by the rumors. The person who broke the news should provide concrete evidence, and hoped that the rumors would stop to the wise. Senior media person Huang Guangqin said that when he visited Liu Youtong, CEO of Yongling Foundation last year, he did ask about it and restored Liu Youtong’s reply at the time.
In response to media reports that “Terry Gou was forced to promise not to run for the president because he bought the BNT vaccine,” Zhang Dunhan, a spokesman for the presidential palace, said on the 14th that the presidential palace had not heard of the incident and was surprised by the rumor. And called on those who broke the news to provide concrete evidence to prove which senior party and government asked the founder of Terry Gou to sign the so-called letter of termination. The Presidential Palace also calls on the media and all walks of life to properly verify, and not to let information that lacks definite evidence mislead the audience.
Zhang Dunhan mentioned that there have been a lot of false and false information and strange rumors recently. One said that President Tsai had a big fight with Vice President Lai, and then said that some high-level party and government officials asked the founder of Terry Gou to sign a promise not to run for president. The Presidential Palace appeals to the media and all walks of life not to spread rumors and hope that the rumors will stop to the wise.
In response to this statement, Huang Guangqin said that Huang Yangming was shocked to hear that Guo Dong was asked to sign a “Not to Election President’s Closing Statement” in the process of purchasing the BNT vaccine, and mentioned that she touched on this topic in an exclusive interview with Liu Youtong last year, I quickly looked back and checked, and there was indeed a question at that time.
Huang Guangqin admits that Huang Yangming, as a media person, cannot disclose the source of the information, which is correct; but if you ask her why she asked this at the time? Probably can’t say either.
Huang Guangqin restored Liu Youtong’s key answer at the time. Liu Youtong said, “If there is such a document, I believe that Guo Dong himself believed in the procurement process that if the election of the president would hinder the purchase of vaccines, there is no need to think so before signing it.”
Huang Guangqin pointed out that Liu Youtong put the word “if” in front of her. According to her own interview experience, she did not confirm the existence of this conclusion, but she did not strongly deny it, but only conveyed the meaning of “Guo Dong will not elect the 2024 president”. , it is the same whether to sign or not.
Huang Guangqin emphasized that he doesn’t like to scrutinize words and make people guess, if you ask her how to interpret it? Her answer was: Is there such a closing book? It cannot be ruled out, but if the source does not come forward to confirm, or the person who broke the news does not have a written copy, I am afraid there is considerable room for the Presidential Palace to refute.
