on august 30, the taiwan leader's office announced seven "grand justice" nominees, including the head and deputy head of the taiwan judiciary, which triggered the anger of the opposition camp. the three words "yao liming" became the focus of debate. having wandered across different political spectrums, he was dubbed a "political chameleon", and the "grand justice" was required to "go beyond party affiliation", so it is no wonder that the outside world is highly skeptical. even more ironic is that in the autobiography and resume of yao liming, the nominee for deputy head of the taiwan judiciary, which was made public, there was no mention of his past as deputy commander-in-chief of the "red shirts against bian", but instead listed a number of experiences related to former taiwan leader tsai ing-wen and taiwan leader lai ching-te.

taiwan's public opinion institutions will hold sessions in late september, and the taiwan authorities' "communications commission (ncc) members" and "examination committee members" personnel cases have not yet been resolved. the taiwan regional leader's office has announced a list of "grand justices" that the blue and white camps will obviously not buy. in addition to yao liming, who has a strong political color, the other candidates also have clear positions on "abolishing the death penalty" and "taiwan independence", which will undoubtedly intensify the confrontation between the government and the opposition. the impact will not only affect the three major personnel cases, but also the review of the taiwan authorities' general budget for next year may be implicated.

huang kuo-chang, a legislator of the people's party, revealed in a live broadcast yesterday (4th) that he and people's party chairman ko wen-je went to hualien to attend the farewell ceremony of the mother of fu kun-chi, the leader of the kuomintang caucus in taiwan's public opinion institution. during the trip, ko wen-je asked him: "did you know that lai ching-te would nominate yao liming?" ko also complained: "it is obvious whether yao liming is suitable or not. what is lai ching-te thinking?" in fact, this is also a question many people have. even if lai ching-te wanted to establish a "group of justices for lai ching-te", he should be careful about his manners. how could he propose a list of "justices" that would cause a train of conflict between the ruling and opposition parties?

looking at the information sent to taiwan's public opinion agency for review, i wonder if yao liming has forgotten or is afraid to remember? in his autobiography, he deliberately ignored his experience of "anti-bian" and did not note his new party membership in his experience as a legislator, but he highlighted his connections with tsai ing-wen and lai ching-te, including serving as lai ching-te's campaign chairman and director of the "tsai ing-wen education foundation". this is undoubtedly an attempt to cover up the truth and add to his political character. and with such a past and actions, how can people believe that he is a competent "justice" who can "exceed party affiliation, exercise power independently, and not be interfered with by any party"?

wang hongwei, a kmt legislator, pointed out that yao liming wanted to erase everyone's impression of him as a "political chameleon". wherever he went, he would leave traces. these are all well-known experiences to the outside world. yao deliberately erased them just to show that he was "covering up the truth", or did yao think these experiences were shameful? kmt legislator zhang zhilun also said that it showed that yao liming was eager to "turn green" and show his loyalty to the dpp, and he might even think that serving the dpp is a "badge of honor". kmt legislator lai shibao said that many people in the green camp also have opinions about yao liming. so yao knew that when the blue and white camps had opinions about him, he had to "hold on to the green camp" first. this was completely a political operation.

the new session of the taiwan public opinion agency is regarded as the first battle of the blue and white cooperation in the new session. kuomintang chairman zhu lilun said yesterday that the "grand justice" must not become a tool for reward, let alone a representative of color or a guardian of ideology. the kuomintang caucus in the taiwan public opinion agency must adhere to this principle to check.

huang kuo-chang, the leader of the people's party caucus, a public opinion institution in taiwan, said that the positions of the head and deputy head of taiwan's judicial system are very important. they are not only the guardians of the current constitutional provisions in taiwan, but also related to taiwan's "judicial reform." the eight years of "judicial reform" of the tsai ing-wen administration have been completely disappointing to the public. now lai qingde has nominated yao liming. is lai qingde trying to turn taiwan's judicial system into a "housing for the poor"? "

lai's office spokesperson guo yahui claimed that yao liming not only has a rich legal background, but also has a solid foundation in academia. he has been cultivating talents on campus for many years. he meets the conditions of professionalism, internationalization, progress, and balancing academic and practical backgrounds. yao liming also mentioned in his resume that he was nominated and was eligible for the qualification of "researching law, having rich political experience, and having an outstanding reputation" in the "organization law" of the taiwan judiciary. however, local lawyer ye qingyuan questioned yao liming's "qualifications" for being nominated. he searched the taiwan library's criminal thesis query system, including articles and seminars co-authored by yao liming and others, totaling 36 works, the latest of which was in 2015. ye qingyuan questioned lai qingde: "a scholar with only 36 works and few citations, which qualification does he meet?"

kmt legislator weng xiaoling also pointed out that according to the taiwan library's criminal thesis search system, there are 36 articles, but the resume of yao liming published by lai gong only has 14 articles, which means that yao can only produce 14 articles, and the last one was published in 2007. however, the most important task of the "grand justice" is to interpret the current constitutional provisions of taiwan and unify the interpretation of "laws", which requires long-term research and publication of papers in the fields of "civil law" and "criminal law", but yao did not do so, and he may not even know what the "procedural law" that was newly revised in recent years is.

liao yuanhao, associate professor of the law department of national chengchi university in taiwan, reminded that whether the "grand justice" nominated purely for political reasons will damage the impartial and neutral image of the "constitutional court" is still a political judgment made by taiwan's public opinion institutions.(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
