the taiwan people's party emergency response team held a press conference at 10:30 am on the 31st to "expose the lies of the taipei prosecutors and defend due process", and released footage of the anti-corruption personnel searching the party headquarters on the 30th. huang kuo-chang, co-convener of the emergency response team, questioned why the taipei prosecutors' statement that "the search was limited to chairman ko wen-je's office" was rummaging through the party headquarters' office space when there was no chairman's office at the party headquarters?

huang kuo-chang said that after the people's party press conference on the 30th, the taipei district prosecutors office stated that "the search was limited to chairman ko wen-je's office", but he criticized "the taipei district prosecutors office lied, the video speaks!" and presented the anti-corruption inspection search through the video; he emphasized that the people's party did not interfere with or hinder the search, but asked the district prosecutors office "the space on the screen is obviously the party office space, and it is impossible to mistake it for ko wen-je's personal office. why rummaging through boxes and cabinets? conducting a groping fishing search."

the people's party raised three questions in the video. first, some anti-corruption personnel secretly checked and compared the seating chart of party colleagues while party personnel were confirming relevant matters, intending to explore the area outside the chairman's office; second, without informing and obtaining permission from relevant party personnel present, the anti-corruption personnel privately searched the cabinets in the "non-chairman's office area" of the central party headquarters which was not permitted by the search warrant; third, during the search, they arbitrarily flipped through documents unrelated to the case and turned over the personal belongings of colleagues, and there was no full video recording of the process, which was a clear violation of the search operation regulations.

the taipei district prosecutors' office issued a statement at noon on the 31st, emphasizing that the search process in this case complied with due process, and was carried out after the search warrant was approved by the court in accordance with the law. it also strictly abided by the relevant provisions of the "regulations on non-disclosure of investigations", and there was no situation that exceeded the necessary scope of the investigation.

when taiwan leader lai ching-te attended a public event on the 31st, the media called out to lai ching-te, asking whether ko wen-je was trying to blur the focus on ko wen-je's rebuke on the 30th that "the dpp should speak clearly". lai ching-te entered the venue with a relaxed demeanor and did not respond to reporters' questions; the reporter continued to call out, and the "curator" said that it was the dpp that was "eradicating dissidents", but lai ching-te did not respond.

when the head of the taiwan authorities' executive yuan, zhuo rongtai, accompanied lai ching-te to attend the ceremony on the 31st, reporters asked zhuo rongtai what he thought about ko wen-je's involvement in the jinghua city incident. the people's party called it "judicial persecution." zhuo rongtai also did not respond and quickly entered the venue.
