the taipei district prosecutors office investigated the jinghuacheng case. taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je and former taipei city deputy mayor peng zhen-sheng were suspected of accepting bribes and seeking benefits in violation of their duties. they applied for detention and no visitors. at 3 a.m. on the 2nd, the taipei district court ruled that ko wen-je would be released without bail and peng zhen-sheng would be detained and no visitors. taiwanese media person wu dongsheng believes that the judge's ruling in the early morning of the 2nd is not simple. this may be a "delaying tactic" of the taiwan authorities. anyway, the "five major corruption cases" are there.

wu dongsheng said in an interview with the guide that such a ruling was a surprise to all, especially the judge's acceptance of ko wen-je's statement that he was completely unaware of the situation. however, the plot ratio of taipei city's jinghua city increased sharply to 840% during ko wen-je's tenure as mayor. the outside world questioned whether officials were protecting the industry. before the 840% plot ratio was passed, the mayor was questioned by the council. how could ko wen-je be completely unaware of it? he believed that the judge's ruling in the early morning of the 2nd was not simple.

after ko wen-je was released without bail this morning, he posted on social media: "thank you to all the supporters present today, and thank you to the judge for bearing all the pressure." wu dongsheng bluntly said that if ko wen-je were to be detained one day, and he changed his words and shouted that the judiciary was unfair, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? when the moment of actual detention comes, if he shouts that the judiciary is unfair again, it will be completely unjustified.

under the social account where ko wen-je posted a message to report his safety this morning, many netizens responded enthusiastically. "persevere to the end, abei, we will always believe in you," "we have waited so long for you to come out," and "abei, congratulations on your return. it is true that real gold is not afraid of fire. it returns three times!" in just a few hours, more than 6,000 comments were accumulated.

in this regard, wu dongsheng analyzed that taiwan is a society that has been manipulated by populism for a long time, and politics often overrides "law". therefore, there is a common joke in taiwan's political arena: "if you are elected, you pass, and if you lose, you are locked up." on the other hand, taiwan's society, which is sentimental, irrational, and sympathetic to the weak, is often easily deceived into "sympathy votes." therefore, it is the result that people who are under judicial investigation are elected with high votes. looking back at the days when ko wen-je was interrogated, before it was decided whether to detain him, the people's party gathered to shout about judicial injustice. in order to prevent ko wen-je, who is good at media warfare, from using detention to accumulate political energy, this may be a "delaying tactic" of the taiwan authorities. anyway, the "five major scandals" are there.

wu dongsheng lamented that if the relevant judicial institutions in taiwan were so meticulous in their operations in investigating the ko wen-je corruption case, he could only say two words: admiration!
