Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hong-an appeared in court in Taipei for embezzlement of assistant fees. Following the recall of Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang, netizens have initiated a petition to remove Gao from office, with the verdict in the corruption case set for July 24. Despite the outcome, the recall will proceed, as Deputy Mayor Qiu Chenyuan is prepared to continue Gao's agenda if he is found guilty. The Hsinchu City government respects public opinions and strives to gain citizen support. The recall campaign has entered its first stage with online and physical signings available, emphasizing the gathering momentum amidst recent events and polls. The government reaffirms its commitment to improving citizen welfare and being responsive to their needs, acknowledging both supportive and opposing voices as essential references for governance.
