Examples

“Xuejia Township in Tainan received quite a lot of attention during the 2012 campaign, which might be expected to lead⟳ to a greater departure from 2008 baselines especially if candidates’ personal qualities or campaign tactics mattered in the elections. Under the early harvest⟳ provisions in ECFA, a Chinese group contracted to buy⟳ large amounts of milkfish from around 100 fish⟳ farmers in Xuejia. Xuejia, even more than the rest⟳ of the surrounding Tainan County, has historically voted overwhelmingly in favor of the green camp. For example, in 2008 Hsieh won a whopping 65.2 percent in Xuejia. Many observers saw⟳ the contract to purchase⟳ milkfish as an experiment⟳ in trying to create⟳ a pro-KMT constituency in the heart of the DPP’s strongest area by channeling the concrete benefits of economic integration directly to them. If this tactic was successful, we should expect⟳ the KMT vote⟳ to be significantly higher in Xuejia than in similar areas.”

“The Agriculture and Food Agency said Saturday that it has tracked down the rice grown in fields contaminated by slag dumped by a waste⟳ treatment company and that the rice harvested from the farmland beside a river in Tainan's Xuejia District has not made its way into the market.”

“Even though the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have⟳ signed 18 economic agreements since 2008, including the ECFA, most Taiwanese remain⟳ skeptical over the normalization of political relations. The large contracted purchase⟳ from the Mainland side of agricultural products from Southern Taiwan did not win⟳ local support⟳ for the KMT or for unification. For example, Xuejia District in Tainan, the biggest location of Taiwan’s local Shimu fish⟳ farms, did not show⟳ any change⟳ of residents’ party preference for the DPP or of their support⟳ for the independence platform after the lucrative deals with the Mainland buyers went through.”

“The Taiwanese milkfish industry has faced troubles in recent years, and in 2011 a state-owned PRC firm placed an order⟳ for the fish⟳ from the town of Syuejia (Xuejia) in Tainan County.”
