taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was detained and denied access to visitors for his involvement in the jinghua city scandal. the latest poll shows that the party's support rate is only 9%. veteran media person huang yangming believes that for ko, if the first-instance verdict only leaves him with the crime of profiteering, the people's party can still breathe a sigh of relief. on the contrary, if there is evidence of a fatal blow, ko and the people's party will fall into a greater crisis.

huang yangming pointed out on the 22nd that if a party's chairman is detained, but the support rate is still 9%, it shows that the party is very strong. therefore, for the people's party, it is a bubble if the support rate drops below 5%. whether ko wen-je will be prosecuted and sentenced in the jinghuacheng case, whether there is money flow and whether he has received bribes, etc., are the key to the case. for ko wen-je, huang said that if the first-instance verdict only leaves the crime of profiteering, the people's party can still breathe. if there is evidence of a fatal blow, ko and the people's party will fall into a greater crisis.

in addition, regarding the recent controversies surrounding chen chih-han, director of the people's party's public opinion body caucus, huang yang-ming believes that there is no need for chen chih-han to stand on the front line as an attacker, as this will only turn himself into a target and put the people's party in a difficult position. huang yang-ming emphasized that the people's party's current attitude is to tie the party to ko wen-je, and if something bad happens to ko in the future, the people's party will not be able to cut ties.

it is reported that chen zhihan shared a photo of ko wen-je visiting a hospital during the pandemic on facebook on the 21st. she said with emotion, "during the pandemic, you tried so hard to protect this place, but now the world has nothing but slander against you." she also invited everyone in the comments section, if everyone still remembers what ko did during the pandemic, can they post it in the comments? "i remember that we had meetings with him every morning, looking for wards everywhere, and thinking about epidemic prevention measures. now he only thinks about benefiting jinghua city and taipei science and technology all day long..."
