Media reported that Taiwan's representative to the US, Yu Dawei, was accused of misusing public funds. Yu held a press conference to refute the allegations, stating that all renovations to official residences and furniture purchases were for the country's image, labeling the accusations as malicious falsehoods. Veteran journalist Yang Yushu criticized the situation, expressing sorrow for former top diplomat Xiao Meiqin, and called it a 'joke' for Washington, DC. The Mirror Weekly disclosed that Yu insisted on buying a new official car worth nearly NT$4 million, but the purchase was blocked by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Yu defended his actions at a press conference, explaining the necessity for a new vehicle to uphold the country's image and urged a thorough investigation to clear his name and his wife's reputation. Yang Yushu condemned Yu's emotional display as inappropriate for a political appointee ambassador, labeling it a disgrace and making a mockery in Washington, DC.
