After a devastating earthquake hit Hualien, National Party Chairman Ko Wen-je cycled around the area to boost local tourism. However, a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) city councilor decided to support a boycott of Hualien due to dissatisfaction with a Kuomintang legislator's stance, prompting Ko Wen-je to criticize this move as creating national division. Despite this, Ko Wen-je continued to promote tourism in Hualien, while the criticized councilor later apologized for his remarks. Other party members emphasized the need to focus on revitalizing the local economy. Ko Wen-je urged unity for Hualien's recovery amidst political tensions.
