Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-ts'an became involved in a scandal related to the development of the Hwa Ya Science Park, wherein industrial land demand surged due to Taiwanese businesses returning to Taoyuan City. The city government initiated a land expropriation plan for urban planning, including a 9.5-hectare farmland that landowners tried to include through alleged bribery. Cheng's administration also aimed to expand the industrial area by changing the urban planning scheme, involving a significant land value difference potentially leading to a multi-million-dollar corruption case. Investigations continue to establish whether Cheng facilitated land use changes through bribery.
