Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang, in office for less than 2 years, is embroiled in controversy with charges for illegally entering a mall. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) criticized him for causing the loss of pride among Keelung residents and urged him to resign. The DPP strongly condemned Xie Guoliang's actions, from failing to implement an electric vehicle program to the mall incident, which has tarnished the city's reputation. The opposition party, Kuomintang, claims that the legal battle between the Keelung city government and a corporation was won, questioning the legitimacy of the recall petition against Mayor Xie. The city government stated that Xie being under investigation does not mean he is guilty, and there may be no prosecution. Xie now faces three legal cases, including the mall incident and allegations of favoritism towards specific companies.
