This year, 520 President Tsai Ing-wen was officially on track for his second term. In late September, British leaders quietly established the “Education 2050 Foundation” in Chiayi, with national policy consultant Huang Chengguo as chair. For British businessmen and academics, the foundation is located in the service office of legislator Cai Yi Yu Puzi. Huang Chengguo said that this is a local foundation that focuses on charitable education in rural areas. However, the political interpretation is that this is to “uncouple” the Friends of Xiaoying and the 2050 Foundation, and is a pre-production for the “Post Tsai Ing-wen Era” design. Design.
Cai Yiyu serves as the foundation’s supervisor. In an interview with Apple News, he said that this educational foundation was originally planned by Hong Yaofu, Wei Jinbiao and others, because the official color of the “Xiaoying Foundation” was too strong, and he was afraid that it would be established as If the president’s position is initiated by a peripheral organization, it will allow for more diversified topics and more space for discussion.
He emphasized that the main purpose of the foundation is to help in the development and promotion of rural and educational issues, and to provide resources outside the system through the energy of the foundation.
Huang Chengguo said that the 2050 Foundation is located in Chiayi, mainly to help Cai Yiyu in rural charity education services in the constituency. However, because Cai Yiyu himself is a public office, he was invited to serve as the chairman of the board. The 2050 Foundation is a local foundation.
Why was it called “2050 Foundation”? The person who participated in the naming of the foundation pointed out that 2049 will be the centenary of the arrival of the Kuomintang in Taiwan and the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. By 2050, Taiwan’s current political system has also been in place for 100 years. According to current trends in the national population, the population of Taiwan will be can be greatly reduced, the proportion of the population in rural metropolitan areas and even the electoral area may change, and relevant issues need to be considered and discussed.
According to the announcement of the Taiwan Chiayi District Court on September 3, Huang Chengguo has applied for the Foundation for Education 2050 for the purpose of promoting education. Yan Zhifa, Wang Guangxiang, Chen Jianfu, and Hong Yaonan, and the three supervisors Cai Yiyu, Chen Maoren, and Wang Zhengsong all have a deep relationship with Xiaoying.
This list of directors and supervisors largely overlaps with the members of the “Friends of Xiaoying”, and is composed mainly of British “grassroots” plus “social power” heads. Tsai Ing-wen’s election campaign leaders, Hong Yaofu and Wei Jinbiao, are all on the directors’ list, and the British public office representative Cai Yiyu is the supervisor. Chen Jianfu, director of the Tamkang China Research Institute, and Hong Yaonan, president of the Taiwan Free Elections Observation Association, who served as directors of the predecessor of the British Department of the “Generation Education Foundation”, have also become in academic representatives on the Board of Directors of the 2050 Education Foundation.
Yan Zhifa, president of the National Association of Friends of Xiaoying, and Chen Maoren, president of Taipei Friends of Xiaoying, served as directors and supervisors of the foundation respectively; Tsai Ing-wen’s cousin, Wang Guangxiang, president of Sanyuan Construction, and Wang Zhengsong, president of the China Golf Association, also served as directors and supervisors.
In fact, after the elections, all the Taiwanese youth friends associations in all the counties and cities of Taiwan have successively yielded to their presidents. Some non-British people from the party revealed that after the localities started to unfold in 2022, there were voices in some places saying that If you don’t choose, why does the Friends of Xiaoying have so many shares? ”Therefore, the establishment of the 2050 Foundation is to some extent to“ decouple operations ”to make operations more flexible.
A central British person said that the 2050 Foundation really hopes to nurture the next generation of young people in Taiwan, and that the DPP cannot face a talent gap like the KMT; but the reason they laid the foundation in a low-key way is to know The outside world will definitely broaden its interpretation and labeling, but they “see people’s hearts over time” and believe that their feelings and vision of the land of Taiwan can stand the test of time.
