The Huaya Technology Park in Taoyuan covers 158 hectares, accommodating 108 high-tech companies and about 25,000 employees, yielding remarkable economic output. Amidst the scandal involving Mayor Cheng Wen-Tsan, it's revealed that with the approval of a land development project, each square meter of land could generate a profit of around 20,000 NT dollars. The scandal revolves around allegations of a 500 million NT dollars bribe influencing the decision-making process, as Cheng Wen-Tsan's involvement in the expansion of the industrial area has raised suspicions of corruption. Investigations suggest that the development company attempted to push through a parcel of agricultural land for redevelopment, even though it did not meet the criteria for expropriation in the urban planning review. With the former prosecutor Chen Chia-Yi handling the case, Cheng Wen-Tsan's political career and personal reputation face critical scrutiny, while the truth behind the corruption accusations awaits further judicial determination.
