On the issues such as foreign affairs, he has taken a neo-liberal path “We need to step up in our fight against tyranny worldwide such as Xiomera and Huscar and many others, although peacekeeping is good it never has worked in actual change”. On social issues, he says “Its time to move forward, however, we must consider working with our past and respecting that”. Zhang himself is a Minjian, often going to temple to worship and considers “religious freedom” an issue “We must consider one’s ideals and religion before doing something that moves against it” he has soon this in 2015 when he allowed doctors to refuse non-emergency abortions if their religion did not allow it, this was criticized by many and was soon declared illegal under the Medical Act of 2007, as it violated one’s rights to medical regardless of any factors.
