the chairman of the people's party, ko wen-je, was involved in the taipei jinghuacheng case. the taipei district court (hereinafter referred to as the "taipei court") held a second detention hearing this afternoon (5th), which lasted two and a half hours and ended at 4:30 pm. the judge announced the ruling at 5:16 pm, and ko wen-je was detained and denied access to visitors. taiwanese media person huang yangming said that ko wen-je would definitely file an appeal. the detention of an opposition party chairman will definitely have a destructive impact on the party. if ko wen-je cannot prove his innocence, the people's party will become a thing of the past.

it is understood that people's party legislator huang kuo-chang was live-broadcasting at 5 pm on the 5th. during the broadcast, huang kuo-chang kept using his phone to check on ko wen-je's latest situation, looking a little anxious. when the program entered the commercial break, the media person qian yijun said at one point that she thought ko wen-je would be released without bail, but when the court ruled that ko wen-je would be detained and not allowed to see anyone, qian yijun was so scared that her mouth opened wide. huang kuo-chang, who was standing next to him, had a heavy face and kept looking down at his phone.

afterwards, qian yijun asked huang kuo-chang: "are you going back to attend the meeting now?" huang kuo-chang nodded and said: "yes, i think i will go back to attend the meeting, thank you." qian yijun asked again whether he was sure to detain him and not allow him to see anyone. huang kuo-chang said "yes" and turned around and left the scene urgently to return to the central committee of the kmt for a meeting.

media person huang yangming posted on facebook that after ko wen-je is detained, he will definitely appeal to see whether the original detention order will be upheld.

huang yangming believes that from a political perspective, the question is how the people's party will respond next. will it appeal for political persecution and raise the level of resistance? or will it respect the judiciary? he emphasized that the detention of an opposition party chairman for corruption will definitely have a devastating impact on the party. if the people's party insists on coexisting with ko wen-je, and ko wen-je cannot prove his innocence, the people's party will become a thing of the past.(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
