Former Taoyuan Mayor and Chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, Cheng Wen-tsang, was suddenly taken away by the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office on corruption charges, detained overnight, and subsequently taken into custody in the early morning, shocking various sectors. This development clashes with President Lai Ching-te's emphasis on clean governance, transparency, and actively combating corruption in his inauguration speech. Cheng Wen-tsang, part of the New Tide faction within the Democratic Progressive Party like Lai Ching-te, becomes the first high-ranking Green Party official to face trouble under the new administration.
