According to the "election and strike law" of the head and deputy leaders of Taiwan, the subsidy fees for candidates recommended by political parties should be collected by the recommended political parties. Most of the subsidies after the previous "general elections" were collected by the Central Committee of the Party, while the Democratic Progressive Party, which started outside the Party, required one-third of the subsidies for the leaders of Taiwan to be given to the Central Committee of the Party and two-thirds of the remaining thirds for candidates.
After the "general election" in Taiwan this year ends, the Kuomintang can receive about 160 million yuan (NTD, the same below) of election subsidy "in accordance with the law". Four members of the Central Standing Committee went south to Kaohsiung after the Lunar New Year this year, and suggested in person that Han Kuo-yu could take two-thirds of the foundation. As a result, Han stated on the spot that he would not take a penny and handed over the full power to the party to maintain party affairs. Li Zhaoping, a member of the Central Standing Committee who was present at the time, recalled this past and said that this incident can indeed be seen that Han Kuo-yu has no selfish intentions.
Han Kuo-yu donated it all. The Kuomintang has money to pay off its debts
After all the "general elections", the subsidies received by candidates are collected by recommended parties, which affects the distribution of interests among political parties. Although the Kuomintang lost in this year's election, Han Kuo-yu won more than 5.52 million votes, injecting fresh water into the Kuomintang, which was struggling with finance. In addition to receiving more than 160 million in subsidies for Taiwan leaders, it can also receive more than 236 million yuan in party subsidies from the public treasury for four consecutive years. After the defeat of
, the Kuomintang's morale was sluggish. Li Zhaoping, Yao Jianglin, Li Dewei and You Jiafu, who were then members of the Central Standing Committee, went to Kaohsiung after the Lunar New Year. To help Han Kuo-yu, he knew that the reason for his defeat was that he was not loved by young people. Li Zhaoping offered advice to Han Kuo-yu on the spot, proposing that Han could designate one-half to two-thirds of the subsidy for the election of leaders in Taiwan to establish a Youth Foundation, which is dedicated to cultivating more young people for the party, and can also be used as an important platform for the next step. Han Kuo-yu, who had already said to the public that he would not receive election subsidies, was as calm as if he had no intention of coming to the door. He reiterated on the spot that "don't take a dime, donate it all to the Party Central Committee." Li Zhaoping recalled this past and praised Han Kuo-yu for not having selfish intentions. Nearly 400 million yuan of election subsidy for
was recorded in February this year. Qiu Dazhan, chairman of the Kuomintang Management Committee, said that Han Kuo-yu never took the initiative to ask for money afterwards. Currently, the amount is used to repay 273 million yuan of debt. The remaining 130 million yuan is the basic expenses for party affairs, which will be used up by about September and October. The Party Central Committee will cooperate with the suggestions of the Financial Stability Group of the Reform Commission to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Qiu Dazhan said that the current payment of the apportionment funds of the Party’s public office is the highest, with the highest payment ratio of about 20%. It was also revealed that Xia Hanmin, a member of the Central Judge and former President of Chenggong University, recently called to inform him that the amount of 50,000 yuan of responsibility was paid in 8 installments due to illness and financial difficulties, which was very touching. Former Party leader Wu Dunyi also paid 3.8 million yuan in responsibility before leaving office.
subsidy to cultivate soldiers and accumulate political energy
He has served as the leaders of Taiwan without distinguishing between blue and green. Each of them has a foundation. In addition to providing policy research, it has also become a channel for charity signs and tax savings. It is a blind spot that cannot be seen through by the Sunshine Act, and it is also a large reservoir for cultivating staff. This is true for Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian, Ma Ying-jeou, and Tsai Ing-wen. In particular, Tsai Ing-wen established the "Xiaoying Foundation" with election subsidies in 2012, creating a basic member of the "English faction" and becoming a stepping stone in 2016.
1996 Taiwan leaders election, Lee Teng-hui and Lien Chan jointly ran for the election. After the election, the "Li Lian Education Foundation" was established with 170 million yuan in election subsidies. After Li and Lian parted ways, Huang Kunhui, former chairman of the Taiwan Federation of Taiwan, became the chairman. Later, Li and Huang had a rift, and the foundation decided to dissolve it in 2013.
Chen Shui-bian's "Kedagran Fund" was established in 2005. Chen donated 30 million yuan to set up the Keedagran School and established an educational institution similar to the "Panisha Political and Economic School" in Japan. During the mayor’s tenure, Ma Ying-jeou established the “New Taiwan Humanities and Education Foundation” and the “Dun'an Social Welfare Foundation” in 1999. After resigning from his position as leader in Taiwan, the “Ma Ying-jeou Cultural and Education Foundation” was established. What is noticeable is that Hon Hai founder Terry Gou pledged 850 stocks and funded the establishment of the Ma Foundation for about 60 million yuan.
It is revealed that Terry Gou’s actual donation is less than half. He originally promised to donate again, but after the Taiwan regional leader election last year, the Kuomintang’s primary election was defeated and Ma Ying-jeou supported Han Kuo-yu, Terry Gou stopped donating money to Ma Ying-jeou.
Tsai Ing-wen founded the "Xiaoying Foundation" after losing the election for the leadership of Taiwan in 2012. The 30 million yuan of venture capital came from election subsidies and small donations. In addition to holding lectures and workshops, it also operated a "Think Forum" of nearly 800 writers, brewing his political energy in 2016.
The staff of the "Xiaoying Foundation" system are now on the political front, including Huang Chongyan, who elected the former director of the DPP's news department in 2016, and was a spokesperson for the Tsai Office after the election. Cai Mengjun, who was elected as the former deputy director of the China Department of the DPP, was promoted from director of the Office of the Mainland Affairs Council to acting secretary-general of the Straits Foundation, and Wu Peiyi, former spokesman of the DPP, was elected as a Taipei City Councilor in 2018.
