[global network report] according to ettv news cloud and other taiwanese media reports on september 2, people's party chairman ko wen-je was involved in the taipei jinghuacheng plot ratio scandal. the taipei district prosecutor's office applied to the court for his detention. the taipei district court ruled in the early morning of the 2nd that ko could be released without bail (the court believed that the defendant's suspicion was not serious, or there was no risk of fleeing or obstructing judicial investigation, so he was released without paying a bail). in response, the democratic progressive party issued a series of pictures and texts titled "the truth that the people's party didn't say" on the evening of the 2nd, and was questioned for speaking for the taipei district prosecutor's office. the democratic progressive party was criticized by netizens for deleting the text within less than 3 hours of posting the pictures and texts. according to china times news, the democratic progressive party issued another article to explain afterwards, but netizens did not buy it, saying that "it was so overturned that it was incomprehensible."

according to reports, the democratic progressive party posted on the social platform on the 2nd that the people's party recently held a press conference to accuse the taipei district prosecutors' office of investigating the jinghuacheng case, attempting to use political voice to interfere with the judiciary and confuse the public. the article also explained the three accusations made by the people's party one by one.

the report said that after reading the post, netizens on the island left comments saying, "i thought it was the taipei district prosecutors' office, why are they speaking for a public agency?", "i either stopped acting or the editor didn't close the account," "guide the case," and "does the editor know what it means to post this using an official facebook account? the dpp helped the prosecutors clarify."

taiwanese media such as today news noticed that the dpp’s post attracted a large number of ridicules from netizens, and then quickly deleted the post, explaining that the content of the article and pictures were taken from the official statement of the relevant units, and the intention was to provide "legal" common sense insights. after discussion, it was found that there were indeed concerns that people might make inappropriate associations, so it was deleted.

as for this explanation, china times news reported that some netizens on the island did not buy it and left a message in the comment section of the dpp’s facebook account saying, “this is such a mess that i don’t understand what it means.”

taiwanese media person huang yangming also posted on facebook, "the dpp is speaking on behalf of the taipei district prosecutors office, it's so funny."

the plot ratio of taipei city's jinghua city surged to 840% during ko wen-je's tenure as mayor of taipei, which was questioned by the outside world as a case of collusion between officials and businessmen. the taipei district prosecutor's office investigated the case in may this year and named ko wen-je and others as defendants. according to taiwan's united news network on september 2, the taipei district court held a detention hearing at 8 pm on the 1st. the judge first questioned ko wen-je. ko wen-je denied all the criminal facts raised by the prosecutor, saying that he had not accepted bribes, and that the unknown funds accused by the prosecutor had nothing to do with the weijing group (the developer of jinghua city). in addition, peng zhensheng, then deputy mayor of taipei, also denied the prosecutor's allegations of profiteering and accepting bribes. at about 3 a.m. on the 2nd, the judge ruled that peng zhensheng was allowed to be detained and ko wen-je was released without bail.

huang yangming, a senior taiwanese media person, wrote on the 2nd that first, the people's party should not forget that, apart from the judicial case, ko wen-je is "the party chairman on leave", and the self-investigation process within the party is still ongoing, and the political donation storm has not ended; second, the people's party supporters should not forget that the prosecutors have stated that they will appeal; finally, "a bunch of green camp wingers stayed up late and collapsed, which is a very pleasant scene." huang yangming said, "the taipei prosecutors are indeed embarrassed, but neither party should get carried away." united news network said on the 2nd that ko wen-je survived the first judicial hurdle, and there are still political donation cases, the taipei shike case, and the taipei fish and fruit market reconstruction case waiting for him.
