Chuang Kuang-tsai of the KMT's Department of Overseas Affairs says that when overseas support groups come to Taiwan, they bring auspicious gifts to candidates such as Japanese sake (which is served at celebratory occasions and thus implies a successful outcome) or persimmons (symbolizing "May all things be as you wish").
國民黨海工會專門委員莊光彩表示，海外助選團回國時，通常帶回一些吉祥物送給候選人，像是日本清酒，表示慶功宴，預祝成功；柿子，表示事事如意。
