Deputy Head of the Executive Yuan Cheng Wen-Tsan was accused by the prosecution of involvement in bribery during his time as mayor, sparking public attention. Speculations arose that President Lai Ching-te may be behind the investigation, with allegations suggesting that Cheng was an English-educated figure, initially a presidential candidate. Lai's move to target corruption, boost his reputation, weaken political opponents, and deter onlookers by taking down Cheng is seen as the beginning of a calculated anti-corruption campaign that may lead to more political turbulence in Taiwan's future.
