[global network reported by trainee reporter meng yuan] according to reports from taiwan tv news network, ettv news and other media on september 3, taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was involved in the taipei huacheng scandal. the taipei district court ruled in the early morning of september 2 that ko wen-je could be released without bail (the court believes that the defendant's suspicion is not serious, or there is no risk of fleeing or obstructing judicial investigation, so he was released home without paying a bail). early in the morning of september 3, ko wen-je said in an interview with the media that the prosecutors took away the usbs and hard drives in his home and office after the search, and he has not yet filed an appeal (referring to the litigation activities of requesting the higher court to re-handle the case due to dissatisfaction with the original court's ruling). he judged that the prosecutors were using all their strength to keep an eye on the information. at the same time, he criticized the taiwan judicial system for becoming like a "talking head" to make up stories, "the dpp says you are guilty, then you are guilty!"

according to ettv news, ko wen-je said that the case was full of smears and fabricated charges from "famous mouths" and taiwan's judicial institutions. he also pointed the finger at the democratic progressive party, saying, "i don't like taiwan's definition of guilt, which has been changed to "if the dpp says you are guilty, then you are guilty."

the ttv news network reported that ko wen-je said that in addition to the three major cases (the jinghuacheng case, the beishike case, and the taizhiguang case), he also had political donations, the first fruit and vegetable market, and other cases, but taiwan still had a lot of things to do, such as water shortages, electricity shortages, labor shortages, land shortages, talent shortages, nuclear power, labor insurance, health insurance, as well as aging, declining birth rates, net zero carbon emissions, etc. the dpp authorities should work hard every day, "not now, you have gone from negative elections to negative politics."

according to reports, ko wen-je also said in the interview, "i also guessed that you did not appeal yesterday (2nd) because everyone was studying the information in the computer all night to see if they could find something from it." ko wen-je called himself "open and honest" and criticized the judicial authorities for becoming like "talk show hosts" who make up stories. "it's too easy for you to make up a story by taking some information and putting it together like this."

the plot ratio of taipei city's jinghua city increased to 840% during ko wen-je's tenure as mayor of taipei, which has been questioned by the outside world as a possible collusion between officials and businessmen. in a report, ettv news mentioned that when talking about the jinghua city case, "a bunch of people put their stamps on it, and it's not right to push a certain person to be responsible," ko wen-je suddenly put away his "fire", said he would not talk about it anymore, and left the scene.

regarding ko wen-je's release without bail, dpp taipei city councillor chien shu-pei said that this does not mean ko wen-je is innocent, and ko is still a defendant in the jinghuacheng case. ma ying-jeou foundation executive director hsiao hsu-cen said in an interview on the 2nd that the dpp authorities want to "hunt down" important figures of the "opposition party", and the same trajectory can be seen from ma ying-jeou back then to ko wen-je now.

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.
