taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was implicated in the jinghua city scandal and was detained and denied access to visitors. former kmt legislator zheng liwen said that if ko wen-je thought that there was no problem with the plot ratio of jinghua city, he could have come out to explain that he was working for the benefit of taipei city, so why cut ties? ko wen-je cut ties with then taipei city deputy mayor peng zhensheng over the jinghua city case because he was guilty, which meant that there was something wrong with the case so he didn't dare to admit it. his cleverness backfired.

zheng liwen said that ko wen-je would say that he knew nothing and that it must be a strategy he had discussed with his lawyers. if the floor area ratio had a special permit from the taipei city government, everything would be reasonable and "legal". it was just that the city government had been making things difficult for shen qingjing, chairman of the viking group. ko wen-je could have said that the city government was conservative and that he wanted to start changing that starting with the jinghua city case.

zheng liwen believes that ko wen-je could explain to the outside world why he gave jinghua city such a high plot ratio, explaining that this was actually reasonable and was helping the taipei city, and that he had some legitimate reasons to explain that he did not seek profit or engage in corruption. but if these things were reasonable, it would not be that no one in the "previous government" dared to do it, but only ko wen-je dared to touch it.

zheng liwen pointed out that since ke wenzhe touched it, it means that he did not think it was reasonable, but he gave the plot ratio because he was profitable. now he says he knows nothing, isn't it because he is guilty? if he really thinks that doing so is not against the "law", is reasonable, and he is open and honest, then why cut ties?

zheng liwen bluntly said that ko wen-je's cutting off of the jinghuacheng case meant that there was something wrong with the case and he did not dare to admit it. the same was true for peng zhensheng. if this was really a good thing, this would be ko wen-je's time to show off and prove that he was a good mayor who worked for the welfare of the people. he could have said it in a very nice way. but the result was that he was too clever.
