people's party chairman ko wen-je is caught in the political donation storm. the people's party held a final audit press conference this afternoon (29th). some people even joked that it was ko wen-je's "final press conference". taiwanese media person luo wangzhe believes that the relevant financial controversy has damaged ko wen-je's image, and asserted that the jinghua city controversy will overwhelm ko wen-je. all kinds of accusations show that the storm may burn him. veteran media person zhao shaokang said that the political donation fake account controversy will at most damage the image of ko wen-je and the people's party, and will not end his political career.

regarding the people's party holding a press conference to explain the controversy related to political donations, luo wangzhe pointed out that if the people's party had not allowed reporters to ask as many questions as they wanted, this press conference would not have been necessary. in addition, ko wen-je's purchase of commercial offices and his wife chen pei-chi's viewing of luxury homes have already damaged his image. luo wangzhe believes that "everything is too late" to hold a press conference now.

luo wangzhe pointed out that the next thing that will crush ko wen-je will be the jinghuacheng case. if the prosecutors cannot find a quid pro quo relationship, ko wen-je may be able to get away with it, but many of the current accusations show that the storm may burn him, and this matter will be a "serious injury."

zhao shaokang questioned why hau lung-bin, who had been mayor of taipei for eight years, had insisted on maintaining the plot ratio of 392% for the taipei city plaza and had not given up, but after ko wen-je took office, the plot ratio was raised twice to 840%. ying hsiao-wei, who was searched and detained, was also a taipei city councilor. why could hau lung-bin take on the councilor's concerns and ko wen-je cooperate?

zhao shaokang said that he did not believe that ko wen-je's decision to relax the plot ratio of jinghua city was entirely due to ying xiaowei's operation. what is the relationship between ko wen-je and shen qingjing, chairman of the weijing group? is it possible that the foundation donated so many anonymous cash donations during ko wen-je's election as the leader of taiwan? is there a consideration relationship before and after? so many doubts must be fully investigated to live up to the trust of the 3.69 million "little grass" (young supporters of the people's party) who voted for ko wen-je.

however, zhao shaokang also said that she had said long ago that the scandal of fake political donations during ko wen-je's campaign would at most damage his and the people's party's image, and would not end his political career. however, the jinghuacheng case involved huge profits and violations of the law, which should give ko wen-je a headache. as the prosecutors and investigators begin to take action, the truth of the jinghuacheng case should become clearer and clearer.

zhao shaokang also said today that the prosecutors should interview ke wenzhe next. "as for whether ke wenzhe will be detained, i don't know!" it depends on whether ke wenzhe and shen qingjing have any relationship. this needs to be investigated. he said that it seems that ke wenzhe is at a high risk at present!(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
