the taiwan authorities have three "deputy ministers" in the labor department, among whom wang anbang is the "deputy minister for political affairs". he was born in 1976, graduated from the department of political science of soochow university, and obtained a master's degree in political science from taiwan normal university. wang anbang took over as the "deputy minister" of the labor department in 2020, and continued to stay in office after lai qingde came to power. unexpectedly, he was approved to resign yesterday, and even his office has been cleared out.

it is reported that wang anbang worked in the taoyuan municipal government for many years during the period when zheng wencan was the mayor of taoyuan. he had served as the director of the taoyuan municipal civil affairs bureau, deputy secretary-general of the taoyuan municipal government, director of the taoyuan municipal social affairs bureau, director of the taoyuan municipal labor bureau, chief secretary of the taoyuan municipal social affairs bureau, and special committee member of the taoyuan municipal social affairs bureau. in particular, during his tenure as director of the labor bureau, he handled the china airlines pilots' strike.

an official from the taiwan authorities' labor department confirmed that after wang anbang resigned, he peishan immediately tried to persuade him to stay, hoping that he would reconsider it carefully. however, wang was determined to leave and submitted his resignation, which was approved on the 23rd.

lai shibao, a member of the kuomintang, believes that zheng wencan was implicated for corruption, which not only hurt himself but also his own soldiers. wang anbang is zheng wencan's general, and his sudden resignation has been approved, which may be seen as the lai ching-te administration's all-out effort to clean up zheng's people.
