Cheng Wen-tsan, chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, was investigated and detained for alleged corruption during his tenure as the mayor of Taoyuan, with the court setting his bail at 5 million NT dollars. Former legislator Cai Zhengyuan compared the situation to a Taiwanese version of palace intrigue similar to the drama of snatching succession in the Qing Dynasty, suggesting Cheng's chances of survival under Lai Ching-te's blade are slim. Cai implied broader political implications involving the Democratic Progressive Party and highlighted internal power struggles within the party.
