Former Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wen-chan resigned as the head of the Straits Exchange Foundation due to a corruption scandal. Political analyst Hsiao Hsu-tsen noted that Zheng's mild approach towards mainland China challenges President Lai Ching-te's political stance, with speculations arising over whether his successor will continue this 'friendly to mainland' strategy or align more with Lai's tough anti-China policies. This development is closely watched as a potential indicator of future cross-strait relations.
