Former deputy leader of Taiwan, Chen Jianren, took over the election of honorary chairman of the headquarters of the Democratic Progressive Party, and not only frequently assisted in Taipei City, he recently published itineraries covering New Taipei , Keelung , and Taoyuan, causing discussions to "warm up the 2024 'general election'." Wang Hongwei, a Taipei City Councillor of the Kuomintang, questioned that Chen Jianren received a high salary for a special researcher at " China Research Institute ", but was a supplementary candidate during working hours; Chen Jianren defended yesterday that the itinerary he participated in was mostly evening or weekends, and if it was working hours, he would ask for leave from the China Research Institute according to regulations.

"China Research Institute" said that Chen Jianren's leave procedures are in compliance with regulations. " Supervision Office " person said that if Chen Jianren did not serve as an administrative work, he would indeed not be within the "Administrative Neutral Legislation of Civil Services", but if he was in the capacity of civil servants, he would be suspected of wandering in the gray area of law.
As for Chen Jianren's treatment, people familiar with the matter pointed out that Wu Maokun, the former Minister of Education, re-employed a special researcher of the "China Research Institute" as an academician of the "China Research Institute", with a monthly salary of 500,000 yuan ( New Taiwan Dollar , the same below). Chen Jianren also has the status of an academician, "not inferior to Wu Maokun". He has given up the courtesy of resigning as deputy leader in 2020. Based on respect, the treatment given by the "China Research Institute" is of the same level.
However, DPP people said that if Chen Jianren's monthly salary is nearly 500,000 yuan, his salary is already at the level of the leader. Even if he takes leave with such a high salary, the frequency of auxiliary selection is too high, and there will be a problem of poor viewing, and he still needs to be cautious.
Korean Party spokesman Bai Qiaoyin said that Chen Jianren has no research results, only the auxiliary election itinerary, and the monthly salary of 500,000 should be paid by the DPP, and it should not be the whole people's payment. I advise the DPP authorities not to treat scholars as tools, and not to pollute the "China Research Institute" for Chen Jianren's "general election dream".
Political commentator Li Zhenghao said that the boundaries of "political personnel's administrative neutral legislation" are still very blurred. Civil servants accompany the superior to inspect the municipal government or attend election assistance activities. Similar chaos has been going on for many years. Clear norms and penalties should be formulated in the laws and regulations to eliminate bad habits. (Xue Yang/Edited)
