I was watching another KMT/blue-leaning political talk show earlier today and came across the following joke from talking head Tang Hsiang-lung (唐湘龍）:
A rough translation is as below:
I could call it the Tsai Yi-lin (Jolin Tsai’s Chinese name) cabinet
Because it looks as if Tsai Ing-wen (Jolin shares a surname with the president)
Is relying (the word for rely “依” is the second character of Jolin’s name) on Lin Chuan’s (the premier of Taiwan; his surname makes up the last character in Jolin’s name) methods
To form the cabinet.
I don’t know enough about the politics to comment, but just thought it would be amusing to see the kind of jokes that can be made in Chinese.
