China Jingwei.com According to Taiwanese media reports, the legislative body of the Taiwan authorities was busy reviewing the 2023 general budget recently, and Chen Mingtong, the "Security Director" of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, also attended. Some KMT "legislators" questioned whether Chen Mingtong should apologize first for escorting Lin Zhijian, the former Hsinchu mayor who was embroiled in a plagiarism scandal. Otherwise, the budget of the "Security Service" will not be able to swallow it. As a result, Chen Mingtong jumped out and claimed, "This is definitely an unjust case," which once again caused controversy. Some Taiwan media reports pointed out that after Lai Qingde took over as chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Mingtong, who was embroiled in controversy over academic ethics, may step down and leave.
Former Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian of the Democratic Progressive Party had his master's degree revoked for plagiarizing his thesis, which directly caused the Green Camp's "nine-in-one" electoral defeat. Chen Mingtong, the "Security Director" of the Democratic Progressive Party authority who served as the guidance professor of the "National Development Institute" of National Taiwan University, was also named to step down. However, Chen Mingtong shouted "it is an unjust case". Taiwanese media person Zhu Kaixiang criticized that if Chen Mingtong had not entered a parallel time and space and deceived himself, he was deliberately showing a strong attitude. Regardless of whether it is logical or not, as long as the "die loyalists" believe him, intensify the opposition and cling to the "deep green", maybe he can still have a glimmer of hope to continue to sit in this position.
Su Zhenchang, the head of the administrative agency of the Democratic Progressive Party, resigned from Tsai Ing-wen yesterday (19th). DPP insiders pointed out that after Su Zhenchang resigned, the new Xinzheng team still preferred a "Chen Zheng pairing", that is, the former deputy leader of the Democratic Progressive Party Chen Jianren and the former Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan "formed the cabinet." Although Chen Jianren responded many times and was not consulted by Tsai Ing-wen, party insiders pointed out that Su Zhenchang had not resigned before, and it was not convenient for Tsai Ing-wen to discuss with Chen Jianren. After Su resigned yesterday, Tsai will launch a formal inquiry.
However, the original plan within the party was for Zheng Wencan to take over the role of deputy head of the administrative agency and former head of the department, Lin Jialong, to take over as secretary-general of Tsai Ing-wen’s office. Recently, high-level discussions within the Democratic Progressive Party have discussed "reversing" the positions of the two. He still intends to find Liu Jianxin, secretary-general of the "Examination Yuan", to take over as secretary-general of the administrative agency, but Liu has not yet given the nod.
There are also opinions within the Democratic Progressive Party that Su Jiaquan, the former head of the legislative body, is also a possible "cabinet minister" candidate. Su Jiaquan has rich administrative experience and is also a "confidant" that Tsai Ing-wen relies on. In the past, whenever there were rumors of " cabinet " reorganization, Su Jiaquan would be mentioned. However, because Su Jiaquan's "British" character is too bright, and because Su Jiaquan's nephew "legislator" Su Zhenqing was involved in corruption and bribery, some people in the party believe that the possibility of Su taking over the administrative agency is low.
It is understood that after Lai Qingde, deputy leader of the DPP authorities, officially took over as chairman of the DPP on the 18th, he emphasized the elimination of black money and academic ethics issues, which have also become new variables in the new "cabinet" layout. People within the Democratic Progressive Party pointed out that the involvement of Zheng Wencan and Chen Mingtong in the Xuelun case has caused worries within the party to open another "open door". This discussion has been fermenting in the political arena for days. In terms of
’s original “cabinet members”, party insiders said that Chen Mingtong, who has been embroiled in controversy over academic ethics, may step down and leave. However, it is understood that the search for candidates to take over as the "Security Director" by Tsai's Office and administrative agencies did not go smoothly. In addition, Chen Jizhong, the "chairman of the Committee of Agriculture" who is trusted by senior officials, is expected to remain in office.
People in the green camp pointed out that the "cabinet" reshuffle represents how the DPP reflects public opinion after losing the election. This wave of "cabinet" reshuffles is rarely "difficult". It can be seen that the party has insufficient training for the Mesozoic generation, Tsai Ing-wen's circle of trust is too small, and she is in a dilemma of "cannot find anyone" after the election defeat.
Many "legislators" of the Democratic Progressive Party's "Legislative Assembly" yesterday called for the new "cabinet" to be "diversified, youthful, democratizing ", and one-third of the appointed members should be from public opinion representatives or county mayors, so that they can be more sensitive to public sentiment and complaints and respond quickly to public opinion needs. The Blue Camp interpreted that the DPP factional battle has begun.
