During the Democratic Progressive Party's primary last year, DPP legislator Chuang Jui-hsiung publicly criticized then-legislator Ho Chih-wei, while city councilor Wang Shih-chieh accused Ho of being fake and tying his family to gangs, ultimately skirting the need for compensation as the courts ruled their comments were made in good faith. Ho had filed lawsuits against both for NT$3 million each but the Taipei Shihlin District Court determined that as a political figure, Ho had a higher tolerance threshold. The accusations of 'black gangs' and 'demon' were considered as political discourse, and thus did not violate Ho's reputation rights.
