Among them, the deputy mayor will be Tsai Li-ching, a prosecutor from Taiwan's "High Prosecutor's Office ", sparking discussion. Before the election, Gao Hongan said that he would expose the "Hsinchu secret treasure". How will Cai Liqing play the role of revealing the secret? People all over Taiwan are happy to sit on the bench and watch the fun. However, Gao Hongan is involved in lawsuits. Will the future deputy mayor be the mayor's "deputy" or "law protector"? People are also curious.

According to a report from Taiwan's "China Times News Network" cited by Huaxia Jingwei.com, the YouTube channel "Mr. Sun of Taoyuan" conducted an online poll on the 19th on "Gao Hong'an invites prosecutor Cai Liqing, who is good at fighting fraud, to be the deputy mayor of Hsinchu City." As of the 19th, 2 At 3 o'clock, 10,000 people had voted, and 76% of the people expressed "agree" for prosecutor Cai Liqing to be the deputy mayor of Hsinchu City, 3% of the people expressed "opposition" to prosecutor Cai Liqing being the deputy mayor of Hsinchu City, 1% of the people pointed out that they had "other opinions", and another 3% said "no opinion".
Gao Hong'an took office as the mayor of Hsinchu this Sunday. When he entered the mayor's office, he had two legal issues to resolve. One was a suspected case of embezzlement of assistant fees and overtime pay that he was personally involved in, and the other was an investigation into whether there were hidden flaws in many public projects carried out by the former city government team.
Taiwan's "United Daily News" published an observation article today and pointed out that the prosecutor was invited to sit in the city government. The outside world immediately speculated whether it was related to Gao Hongan's lawsuit? Although Gao strongly denied it, it is not impossible for Cai Liqing to be familiar with the prosecutor's case handling mode and assist in handling extra-municipal affairs, and "incidentally" play a legal advisory role to the mayor.
However, most of Gao Hongan’s legal team consists of lawyers who have served as prosecutors or judges. It seems that there is no need to find prosecutors to serve as deputies for their own lawsuits.
In addition, Gao Hongan said during the election that he would reveal the "big secret treasure of Hsinchu". With Cai Liqing's past case handling experience, it should not be difficult to investigate whether public projects are involved in fraud. However, the deputy mayor who takes off the prosecutor's robe can only conduct administrative investigations at most. He does not have the power to direct the police to handle cases. He only relies on looking through documents and asking public servants if they can find doubts before transferring them to inspection and investigation. This tests Cai Liqing's ability.
Taipei City Municipal Consultant Zhai Benqiao once pointed out that if Gao Hongan is found guilty in the first trial, the mayor of Hsinchu will be represented by the deputy mayor. Therefore, it is necessary to find a candidate who is better at investigating fraud cases than Gao Guang, creating a situation where it is more difficult to "pursue Gao Hongan" than "let Gao Hongan go", so that the DPP will give up the pursuit of Gao.
Gao Hongan asked the prosecutor to serve as his deputy. It is not known whether Gao Hongan planned to "turn from defense to offense". However, inviting the prosecutor to serve as his deputy has created a topic in advance.
