On July 5, 2024, Cheng Wen-tsan, the Chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, was interrogated by the Taoyuan District Prosecutors and detained early on July 6. The Taoyuan District Court is expected to hold a detention hearing around 11 am today. Cheng's interrogation reportedly lasted over 16 hours and is related to a land amendment case during his tenure as the mayor of Taoyuan, specifically regarding the 'Amendment of Linkou Specific Zone Plan - Expansion of Industrial Zone 5 Plan' which was under review by the Ministry of the Interior. Further details about Cheng's involvement in the case will be revealed after the detention hearing. Cheng has faced controversies in the past, including the 'Bade Farmland Case', and has been accused of benefiting from certain developments, with the latest development prompting the Nationalist Party caucus to call for a comprehensive review of his past development projects during his tenure.
