Lin Jiafeng on June 25, 2024, at 9:14 PM, revealed that the US representative, Yu Daming, was reported by the media for misusing public funds by spending over 2 million on items like beds, carpets, sofas, and a coffee machine. Within half a year, the official residence spent 8 million, including 110,000 for the coffee machine, 250,000 for the bed, and 260,000 for a Bluetooth speaker. Taipei City Councilor You Shuhui criticized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for habitually diverting from answering inquiries properly by using classified documents. She called for transparency regarding these luxurious purchases and questioned why the Ministry used classified documents to respond to queries about how diplomats spend the nation's money.
