Leaders: People and Tang

leaders: Just by getting people to listen to the ideas that they don't like, basically, develops their immune systems, Tang said in an interview with The Associated Press while visiting Seoul for the annual Codegate international hacking competition, according to Brandon Sun. If people have already considered carefully even the position of people they don't agree with, they already have some kind of inoculation in their mind, so that they will not fall victim to rumours, she said. Appointed by leaders hoping to better connect with young voters who helped sweep independence-leaning President Tsai Ing-wen into office last year, 35-year-old Tang is using her expertise to more directly involve the public in policymaking, and to counter fake news. Keeping the public engaged is crucial given Taiwan's status as a self-ruled democracy of 23 million people that separated from the Chinese mainland amid civil war in 1949. Public opinion on the issue is divided. Communist-ruled Beijing insists the two sides are part of a single Chinese nation. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
