Former chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, Cheng Wen-tsang, was accused by the prosecution of involvement in a land development bribery case in Linkou Industrial Zone (Huaya Park) and was granted bail with 5 million yuan yesterday (7/6), prompting him to swiftly resign from his position. Nationalist Party chairman Eric Chu expressed regret over the incident from the perspective of Taoyuan citizens and emphasized the importance of a fair judicial process, questioning why the case is only being investigated now after 7 years and calling on relevant authorities and the Lai government for clarification during a meeting on democratic reform. Media speculated that the alleged corruption case involving Cheng Wen-tsang is not only a factional struggle within the Democratic Progressive Party but also a way for President Lai Ching-te to consolidate his power, to which Eric Chu responded humorously and directed inquiries to legislator Hsieh Lung-Chieh who is better suited to explain the situation.
