Robert Tsao Trying to Get ROC Citizenship Reinstated 曹興誠恢復台籍 強調要留在台灣終老

During an interview on Aug. 25, former UMC Chair Robert Tsao said he had applied to reinstate his Republic of China citizenship and that he has decided to die in Taiwan and not somewhere else.

Program Host, Radio Free Asia: “You've applied? ”
Robert Tsao, Former UMC Chair: “...to get my Republic of China citizenship reinstated. Yes. Of course I want to get it reinstated. You can't be out there calling on everyone to oppose the Communists while you're hiding somewhere else. Taiwanese people need morale. My return today is extremely symbolic. Many people say you should leave Taiwan as soon as possible. Many people are trying to. Me, I gave up my Singaporean citizenship to come back. I'm back to be with everyone. I'm back to tell everyone that I have already decided to die in Taiwan.”

Robert Tsao recently donated NT$3 billion to shore up the national defense in Taiwan. He has also announced he has given up his Singaporean citizenship to get his Republic of China citizenship reinstated. Tsao, who previously called for a referendum on peaceful reunification, says he was never pro-reunification and all he wanted was an end to martial law. He says he is now staunchly and vocally anti-Communist because of gangster attacks on citizens during the 2019 Yuen Long Attack.

 

面對自由亞洲電台主持人的詢問，聯電前董事長曹興誠表示，他回復中華民國國籍，為的是提升台灣人的士氣，不能叫大家反共，卻自己躲在外面。曹興誠說道：「今天我回來有象徵意義，很多人可能說打那麼兇快跑快跑，很多人會這樣子嘛，我是從國外回來，我放棄新加坡國籍，我回來跟大家在一起，回來我會跟大家講說，我已經決定我會死在台灣。」

曹興誠日前捐了30億要協助國防，曹興誠表示已經申請回歸中華民國國籍，放棄新加坡國籍，回來跟大家在一起。至於曹興誠曾經提倡和平統一公投，為何如今堅決反共？曹興誠表示，他真正的目的是要免除武統，卻被外界誤會支持統一，而他反共跟香港反送中運動有關，尤其香港元朗事件，竟有黑社會公然攻擊市民，讓他決定跳出來反共。
