Overseas Network July 14 Taiwan Defense Department exposed a major corruption case on the 14th. A major general from the "Armature Bureau" was suspected of accepting bribes of NT$30 million in an important project (about RMB 7.125 million) and has been investigated by the prosecution.
According to Taiwan’s Dongsen News on the 14th, in order to implement the so-called “care for the Taiwan Army” policy, Taiwan’s leader Tsai Ing-wen has vigorously promoted a “Xing'an Project” since 2017, spending tens of billions of NT$ to significantly renovate 81 old camps and replace combat equipment in Taiwan, thereby enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Taiwan Army. Unexpectedly, the "Air Force Operations Command (hereinafter referred to as the Air Force Fighting Command)" located in the Taipei Mansion and known as the "First Line of Air Defense in Taiwan Strait" used a new anti-blast building built with nearly NT$3 billion (approximately RMB 712.5 million) to build. It was reported that the winning Chinese Engineering Company was suspected of reporting construction costs and bribed Zhang Dawei, Major General Director of the "Armature Bureau", with the Baoshang.

reported that this "air finger" named "Fuxing Camp" is the highest command and control agency for tactical and air defense operations of Taiwan's Air Force. In order to improve the working environment, this camp renovation project with a budget of NT$3 billion is being implemented, but unexpectedly, a huge project kickback scandal broke out. Zhang Dawei, major general director of the "Armature Bureau" Engineering Production Center, has been identified as involved in the case. He has been interviewed by the prosecutors and the prosecutor's case for corruption. The case is being investigated by the prosecutor.
Taiwan prosecutors also launched an investigation based on the intelligence information they have obtained over the past few months, and successively found the defense department and China Construction and other places, and interviewed people involved in the case in large quantities, and the case continued to expand. In order to investigate the flow of bribes, the prosecution found the "Armature Bureau" for the first time at the end of March this year. Yan Defa, head of the Taiwan Defense Department, said that he would fully cooperate with the judicial investigation.
Taiwan media pointed out that the "air finger" responsible for the air defense mission of the "front line of the Taiwan Strait" is particularly serious, and the "air finger" affiliated to the "Air Force Command" and hiding next to Toad Mountain at the bottom of Keelung Road in Taipei City has exposed such a major corruption case, which really shocked Taiwanese society.
In response to this, the Taiwan defense department responded that Zhang Dawei assisted the prosecution and investigation to clarify the case in a certain project case at the beginning of the year. Based on his respect for the principle of non-disclosure of investigation, he "cannot further explain it." As for China Engineering Corporation, the company's spokesperson only stated that "cannot answer this" and was not clear about the relevant case. New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office also stated that it is inconvenient to express opinions to the outside world based on the principle of non-disclosure of investigations.
