According to Cho Jung-tai, accepting the opponent's conditions cannot resolve threats. Following the incident of a Penghu fishing boat being forcibly detained by China, the executive director of the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, Hsiao Hsu-chen, requested President Lai Ching-te to acknowledge the 1992 Consensus and pragmatically handle cross-strait relations. Prime Minister Cho Jung-tai stated that at present, acknowledging any condition demanded by the opponent cannot dissuade threats from the opponent towards Taiwan. Hsiao noted that the Lai administration is completely incapable of handling cross-strait disputes, urging the government to prioritize national security and maintain the status quo by returning to the 'One China Principle' of the Republic of China Constitution while acknowledging the 1992 Consensus.

Deputy Premier of the Executive Yuan Cheng Li-chun reiterated the government's commitment to moving towards a 'non-nuclear homeland' and highlighted that green energy production has surpassed nuclear energy. Vice Convener of the National Climate Change Adaptation Action Committee and Chairman of Wistron, Simon Lin, responded by stating that the focus should be on 'reducing carbon emissions' to combat global warming, emphasizing that 'anti-nuclear sentiment' is off-track. Lin suggested that the government's energy policy should be revised to emphasize 'expanding green energy, using nuclear energy, reducing coal usage, and lowering gas consumption.' Despite their familiarity, Lin and Cheng have differing opinions on energy. Lin pointed out that current nuclear energy figures are skewed due to operational disruptions, rendering direct comparisons with green energy misleading. Lin emphasized that global warming is the common enemy, not nuclear energy, and Taiwan's reliance on nuclear energy alongside green energy can play a key role in carbon reduction. Lin also urged Taiwan to learn from advanced countries like the EU and Switzerland, where a combination of nuclear and green energy has led to significantly lower carbon emissions.

Former F.I.R band vocalist Faye (Faye Chen) accused her mentor and band leader Chen Jiannan of forging her signature to produce a 'guarantee letter', but ended up being charged with false accusations.

The case is open to appeal.
