Wu is the current Premier of Taiwan.
A cunning and wily veteran politician. Not well versed in economics and world affairs in my opinion, but good at explaining things and talking his way out of trouble. The former Premier who had to step down after the typhoon disaster, was the exact opposite.
Long time enemy of DPP's Frank Hsieh, who defeated him before in mayor elections.
Can't stand both Wu and Frank.

That Frank Hsieh is the most unfrank bugger. Was he involved in some scandal which had something to do with a tape recording of his conversation or something like that? Latest news is that he and Su Zhen Chang will be side-stepped in the nomination for legislator election. One commenator somewhat pointed out that Tsai Ing Wen wants old guards to be out of her way incase she accidentally clinches the president post. She is just as stubbon and will not want vocal people who can pose threat to her term in office. I quite agree with that also.
Also in 2008 President Ma got 58% votes while DPP candidate got 42% votes. Now in 2012 Presidential election, DPP Tsai Ing Wen needs to win 9% over. And the political commentator Chen Hui Wen (plump guy with small eyes and specs) rightly says, these 9% fence sitters are waiting for Tsai to make a stand on her approach to Cross Straits relation should she become president. They do not want her to keblakang what Ma has done all these years in cross straits relation. In short, they lack confidence in Tsai to be able to manage cross straits relationship well. After all, DPP is always pushing for independent and never failed to rile China when they were in power. But Tsai is not able to make clear about her stance in this issue which can kill her dreams to become President. Taiwan politics is very interesting. We can see the inter-play between politicians on how they manipulate issues to benefit themselves, and their predicaments as well as the contradictions. They have good and keen political commentators to help viewers peel the skin to see deep what is in the minds of these politicians.
