the people's party chairman ko wen-je was summoned by the taipei district prosecutors office for his involvement in the taipei jinghuacheng case, which has attracted attention in the island's political circles. kuomintang chairman chu li-lun said today (4th) that judicial cases should be handled only when there is sufficient evidence. if there is not, it is a political persecution. kuomintang spokesman yang zhi-yu also emphasized that each political party has its own internal affairs to deal with, such as the people's party's accounting disputes and the jinghuacheng case. he hopes that they will explain it clearly to the outside world. regarding the supervisory power of the opposition party, the public opinion institutions in taiwan must of course continue to cooperate.

at the kmt central standing committee meeting this afternoon, although chu li-lun did not directly name any party, he pointed out that cases should be handled only when there is sufficient evidence, not through fabrication and speculation. handling cases without evidence will turn into political struggles and persecution. he stressed that although the dpp looks good in the recent period of waving the banner of anti-corruption, it should also remind the prosecutors to handle as many cases as there is evidence.

zhu lilun pointed out that there was a case (referring to former chairman of the straits exchange foundation of taiwan, zheng wencan) with sufficient evidence but it has not been handled for 7 years, but there was a case where the chairman of the main opposition party was kept in the taipei district prosecutor's office for 70 hours. the public does not want the judicial standards to continue to change like a thermometer. in addition, he emphasized that the new session of taiwan's public opinion agency is an important budget session, and he will definitely adhere to the most important principle of the opposition party: strong supervision, and discuss with the people's party how to cooperate.

yang zhiyu said in an interview after the meeting that each political party has its own internal affairs to deal with, such as the people's party's accounting disputes and the jinghuacheng case, and she hopes that they can explain it clearly to the outside world. regarding the opposition party's supervisory power, she said that public opinion institutions in taiwan must of course continue to cooperate.

in addition, the prosecution and anti-corruption office found evidence of bribery, and the request for detention and no-contact ban on kmt taipei city councillor ying hsiao-wei and others was approved. the kmt taipei city party committee said yesterday that after a disciplinary meeting, it was decided that if the first instance verdict in this case was guilty, it would recommend severe party discipline punishment. yang zhiyu said that he respected the kmt local party committee's disciplinary report and the kmt central disciplinary committee's meeting decision.

yang zhiru emphasized that maintaining procedural justice and judicial fairness is what the kuomintang has always insisted on, and the taiwan authorities' prosecutors and investigators must maintain fairness and justice. he hopes that the dpp's subsequent cases, including those involving eggs, fraud, and optoelectronics, should be re-examined with the same standards, and not handled differently just because they are political enemies.(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
