Former chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation Cheng Wen-tsang was accused of bribery and released on bail on July 7, 2024. KMT Chairman Eric Chu, attending an event in Yunlin, expressed the need for legal justice and transparency regarding the case. Some view the Cheng case not only as an internal struggle within the DPP but also as President Lai Ching-te's attempt to consolidate power. KMT legislators suggest Lai needs to address the situation clearly for any follow-up actions. The resignation announcement by Cheng was expected under public pressure, with criticism towards the DPP government for allowing Cheng to hold positions despite past controversies. The incident reflects a larger battle between various political factions within the DPP.
