(2017年3月號491期動腦雜誌)編按:義美總經理高志明,2月2日新春開工即在「環保食安志工」Facebook分享觀點;盯住問題、盯住人民的希望,深具創意。

一、美國總統川普把「國家當公司治理」,無人否認。   ......

 

二、他是成功的企業CEO,與全球所有企業創辦人雷同-----有鋼鐵般的毅力、非常勤奮、十分務實、討厭傳統繁文縟節、更厭惡傳統官僚體系;他絕對是「雖千萬人不爽.吾道一以貫之」、反傳統、反體制,在「由中小企業變大企業」過程中,受盡「不合理法條」折磨的民間人士。

三、試問:在面對這樣一位「全球霸權領導人」;台灣政府、與人民能夠不積極準備、勇於面對嗎?

四、川普CEO把違抗命令的代理部長開除了、上班立即簽署行政命令要履行競選承諾、要有異議的墨西哥總統不要來訪;上任至今,已獲得全球企業CEO承諾上千億美元在美國投資創造就業機會;如此強勢的領導,若成功的話,必然成為一位令人永難忘懷的歷史人物!

此外,他都拔擢年齡稍大、經驗豐富、信念堅定、勇敢務實的人士出任要職;幾乎無不具實務經驗的學者擔任閣員。

五、蔡總統之所以能夠勝選,就是因為「對台灣人民承諾改革」,要去除所有「不公不義」的制度;至今與前幾任總統比較,改革算快,但比起「川普CEO」,就顯得魄力不足;令人遺憾!

六、在台灣中小企業、微型小型攤商、農戶,總計有一百多萬家,維繫著台灣上千萬人民的生活,更是台灣高科技產業的後頓,對穩定台灣社會非常重要。

川普CEO能上任就下令消除所有對中小企業不合理的法令;為何台灣政府及民意機構,只會「補破網式」繼續訂定法律;為何無法宣佈:到底改革、廢棄了多少「不合理的法令」?這或許與政府高層官員,無人具備辛苦創業的歷練、也未曾有過遭受到「不合理法令欺凌」之底層百姓的經驗。

七、國防、外交靠美國,無人能夠否認;但美國政府與中小企業,絕對不會只想與台灣做軍火生意;小至美國豬肉進口,都可能造成「川普CEO」不爽,進而採取「火爆反擊」的導火線?在美國廠商看來,連含「致癌物」尼古丁的香煙,都可以進口販賣,為何「含瘦肉精的美國豬肉」不得進口?屆時,我們能做的只是在「保障養豬農戶利益」的前題下,「要求明白標示.再由消費者自行決定買不買?」;或許,只能「比照香煙」辦理了!否則,台灣政府與人民、企業,可能皆「得不償失」!台灣國內農業、工業、高科技的發展策略,必須重新檢視,環安、食安、農安的問題,也必須同時審視。此外,被美國認為有礙跨國貿易障礙的法令規範,必須在有配套措施的方案下,逐步消除;否則,兩國貿易談判又會是窒礙難行,簽FTA之議,更不用說了!

八、台灣人民絕大多數支持總統大力改革;政府一定要加速改革,儘速消除不公不義的傳統制度、廢除所有不合理、不合時宜的法令;分別減輕「中小企業、微型小型攤商、農戶、消費者」的困難、與痛苦。(本文摘自2017.02.02環保食安志工Facebook)

Trump' s‘drain the swamp’reform is the only way Taiwan' s reforms can survive and prevail

As everybody expected before his inauguration, U.S. President Donald Trump is running the U.S. like a company, as exemplified by what he did in the first week of his administration, and that kind of “drain the swamp”attitude, iron will, decisiveness and swiftness to carry out his policies in face of tremendous opposition is exactly what Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's administration needs to carry out reforms that the country desperately needs in order to survive and develop.

President Trump is without doubt a successful business CEO and similar to all business founders throughout the world, he has an iron will, is very hardworking and pragmatic, hates traditional red tape and detests bureaucracy. He is a person who will enforce his beliefs in the face of strong opposition from a large number of dissenters, who is anti-traditional and anti-bureaucratic, and who has been persecuted by unfair laws and regulations during the process of growing his small and medium-sized enterprise into a large corporation.

In light of the rise of such a leader of the world’s superpower, can Taiwan’s government and people not be rising up immediately to face challenges Trump could pose to Taiwan? 

Trump fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates for defying his executive order on immigration, signed executive orders to carry out his campaign promises as soon as he was sworn in, canceled a meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto over the proposed border wall, and obtained pledges of hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of investments from a long list of multinational CEOs to create jobs in the U.S.

Such a powerful leadership, if successful, would certainly make Trump a historical figure.

In addition, he almost always picks those who are somewhat senior but with a wealth of experience and resolute beliefs as well as those who are brave and pragmatic to fill important seats in his administration. Almost none of his appointees are inexperienced scholars.  

Tsai was able to win the presidential election because she promised the Taiwanese people to reform the country and get rid of all unfair institutions. Compared with many of her predecessors, her reforms are considered as prompt, but if compared with Trump, Tsai’s scale of reforms and degree of daring and resolution seems minimal and only scratching the surface. What a pity!

In Taiwan, over a million of SMEs, owners of mini stalls, and farmers support the livelihood of more than 10 million Taiwanese people and are the backup for the country’s high-tech industry. They play a paramount role in steadying Taiwanese society.

Trump ordered the elimination of all unreasonable laws and regulations that are hostile to SMEs as soon as he took office; but on the contrary, Taiwan’s government and lawmaking body only continue to make laws that “patch the holes” and are unable to announce how many reforms they have achieved and how many unfair laws and regulations they have discarded. Maybe it has something to do with the cabinet that is filled with high-level government officials who have never gone through the hardship of founding a business and never experienced being bullied by unfair laws and regulations as the common people have.

In terms of national defense and diplomacy, there is no denying that Taiwan depends heavily on the U.S.; but the U.S. government and SMEs think of more than just selling arms to Taiwan. It’s not unreasonable to assume that a business as small as exporting U.S. pork to Taiwan could irritate Trump and prompt him to adopt explosive counterattack measures. From the perspectives of American business people, imports of cancer -causing cigarettes have been allowed by Taiwan, so why should U.S. pork containing ractopamine be banned?

When the time comes, under the premise of protecting the interest of local pork farmers, the only thing we can do is ask the Americans to clearly label the pork and let our consumers decide whether to buy or not; or just accept the pork like cigarettes because we cannot afford to lose the U.S. as our friend. 

At the same time, Taiwan’s policies towards development of the country’s agriculture, industry and high tech as well as the issues surrounding the country’s environmental safety, food safety and agricultural safety should be reexamined. Moreover, regulations regarded by the U.S. as impediments to international trade must be gradually eliminated with accompanying measures, or else trade talks between the two countries are bound to hit the wall, not to mention the signing of a Free Trade Agreement. 

Most Taiwanese people support Tsai's plans for striking reforms to turn the country around, and therefore the government should speed up and deepen reforms, do away with unfair institutions, and revoke all unfair and untimely laws and regulations to alleviate the hardship sustained by local SMEs, mini-stall owners, farmers and consumers. Only by doing these can the new-generation Taiwanese and Taiwanese society have a chance to develop and prosper.(By Luis Ko,Taiwan News, Contributing Writer. Luis Ko is the CEO of I-Mei Foods)
