CHINA-TAIWAN: DPP GETS CLEAR VICTORY IN ALL 4 ISSUES FOR NATIONAL REFERENDUM
|
The results of the national referendum that took place December 18, resulted in a defeat for the KMT and
victory for the DPP, with all four referendum proposals voted down. The DPP had advocated the four “Nos”.
Four issues were voted on during the referendum. These were: the restart of Nuclear Reactor No. 4; the
construction of a liquified natural gas terminal off the coast of Datan, Taoyuan; the lifting of barriers to the
import of American pork containing the growth hormone ractopamine; and whether the date that national referendums should be held on the same date as elections. The DPP took the clear lead in all four referendum
questions.
