after the taiwan leader's office announced the nominees for the "grand justice", the opposition camp continued to criticize. in the published autobiography and resume of the nominees for the "grand justice", the nominee for deputy head of the taiwan authorities' judiciary, yao liming, ignored his past as deputy commander-in-chief of the "red shirts" and listed many experiences related to former taiwan leaders tsai ing-wen and lai ching-te. kmt legislator wang hongwei sarcastically said that yao liming wanted to erase everyone's impression of a "political chameleon", but deliberately erasing it only showed that "there is something fishy here". kmt legislator lai shibao said that the "grand justice" should transcend party affiliation. yao liming knew that the blue and white factions had opinions about him, so he clung to the green camp first, which was completely a political operation.

after the list of nominees for the "grand justice" was announced, there was a lot of noise in the field, and yao liming was publicly named by the blue and white camps many times as unfit for the position. yao liming's political spectrum changes dramatically, so he is called a "political chameleon." he joined the new party in his early years and was elected as a representative, participated in the "anti-bian movement", and served as a director of the "tsai ing-wen education foundation." in 2014, yao liming served as the campaign director of taipei mayoral candidate ke wenzhe, successfully getting ke into the taipei city government, and even said in 2018 that "the democratic progressive party is garbage." last year, he joined lai ching-te's campaign team and became the chairman of the campaign headquarters.

in his autobiography, yao liming only listed his experiences with the dpp, including serving as chairman of lai ching-te's campaign headquarters, serving as the general secretary of ko wen-je's campaign headquarters when the dpp gave way to ko wen-je in the 2014 taipei mayoral election, and serving as a director of the tsai ing-wen education foundation, which he described as "participating in public affairs related to taiwan's constitutional system." when yao liming mentioned his experience as a legislator, he did not indicate his new party affiliation, and he also skipped his past as deputy commander-in-chief of the "red shirts."

as for the "red shirts", they refer to the people who participated in the "millions of people against chen shui-bian movement". on august 12, 2006, shih ming-teh, the former chairman of the democratic progressive party, launched a political demand movement, demanding that then-taiwanese leader chen shui-bian should be held accountable for the "confidential expenses case" and many other scandals related to his cronies and family members, and step down voluntarily. in addition to the intensive street activities in taipei, the office of the leader of the taiwan region was also surrounded by the crowd, and there were sporadic conflicts across taiwan. at that time, many politicians on the island participated in it, and yao liming was one of them.

wang hongwei said that yao liming wanted to erase everyone's impression of him as a "political chameleon", but he left traces wherever he went. these are all experiences that are well known to the outside world, but yao liming deliberately erased them. is it just to show that he is "covering up the truth" or does yao liming think these experiences are shameful? this shows that yao liming himself is very guilty, but this cannot change the fact that he is a "political chameleon".

kmt legislator zhang zhilun pointed out that yao liming criticized the "dpp as garbage" in 2018, and now in the autobiography of the nominee for deputy head of the judiciary in taiwan, he mentioned twice that he had served as the chairman of lai qingde's campaign, but concealed his experience in participating in the "anti-bian" movement and the new party. this shows that yao liming is eager to "turn green" and show his loyalty to the dpp, and may even think that serving the dpp is a "badge of honor."

zhang zhilun also said that "judicial power" should be above party affiliation and maintain judicial independence. yao liming completely violated this basic concept. just because he could get rewards by following the right person, he was willing to become a thug of the green camp. the opposition party must not allow the dpp's political power to override the judiciary.

lai shibao said that many people in the green camp also have opinions about yao liming, not that they don't have any opinions at all, so yao liming knows that when the blue and white camps have opinions about him, he has to stick to the green camp first. this is purely a political operation.

kuomintang legislator li yanxiu also said, can a nominee who tries his best to curry favor with the "power holders" really be qualified to be a "grand justice"? can he really be the deputy head of taiwan's judicial system? in the future, can he really say "no" to the threats and inducements of power?(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
