KMT Legislative Yuan caucus secretary Hung Meng-kai was accused by DPP legislator Wu Pei-yi of requesting secret TSMC information from NSC during a committee meeting, where NSC promptly refused and criticized 'parliament expanding powers to infringe on people's rights'. Hung later clarified through a 4-point statement and announced plans to sue. Wu responded using 3 facts and cited parliamentary records, showing Hung's abuse of power. Hung insisted the information was not confidential due to being in the parliamentary records, while Wu criticized his inquiry as aiming at TSMC's data and accused Hung of spreading false information, leading to a formal lawsuit. Wu clarified that her inquiry was on 'emergency response team operations and stable power supply measures in the park', not TSMC data. She criticized Hung for implying parliamentarians shouldn't have the right to inquire about corporate secrets and attributed this to KMT and NPP's passing of the expanded powers bill, challenging Hung to oppose it with her. More details emerge regarding political dynamics and concerns over TSMC's secret leakage, with varying reactions from different political parties and leaders, including responses to potential constitutional violations raised by legislative parties and past controversies surrounding President Tsai's administration.
