TT: You are the first chief in charge of both the MOI and the Taiwan Provincial Government. How will you work on collaborating resources from both sectors?
Chang: In fact, the provincial government does not have many resources.
What we have to do is ultimately decide on the status of the provincial government after its marginalization. Is it a secondary department of the MOI or of the Executive Yuan? And does it need to be eradicated? We have to decide on this in the near term.
TT: Some designated Cabinet members criticized the current Cabinet for appearing to "resist" the transfer of power to the new government. Have you encountered any similar problems?
Chang: It has been OK so far. But high-level positions [in the MOI] have been occupied. The adjustment of high-level positions should not happen after the election. It's a problem of whether we should respect each other [new and current government]. It will be better in the future to have laws spelling this out.
