Reported 8 months ago
On June 25, 2024, Yu Daqian was exposed by a weekly magazine for misusing public funds, spending 8 million NT since taking office. Yu held a press conference yesterday to deny the allegations. Media figure Fan Qiming observed the responses of the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and found that Minister Lin Jialong seemed unable to handle the diplomatic system. The responses from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Premier Zhuo Rongtai, and the Presidential Office differed, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs eager to downplay the situation initially. After the Presidential Office and Premier spoke out, Minister Lin eventually responded stating that he did not agree to Yu's purchase of a new car, indicating a lack of control over the diplomatic system.
