On May 30 this year, Ke Jianming led the Democratic Progressive Party Group to promote the successful revision of the "Accounting Law" in the legislature of Taiwan. Two and a half months later, Chen Shui-bian, a former regional leader of Taiwan, finally ushered in the moment of innocence. After 16 years of lawsuits involving the "confidential fees" case, the Taiwan High Court pronounced a verdict on July 15 in accordance with the newly revised "Accounting Law". The part of the fraudulent collection of confidential fees in Chen Shui-bian was exempted from prosecution because the case was divided into two parts: confidential fees and money laundering. The part of the fraudulent collection of confidential fees was divided into two parts: Chen Shui-bian and his wife (including Chen Shui-bian's office director Ma Yongcheng, Lin Dexun, and Chen Zhenhui, the former cashier of the office) were all exempted from prosecution. However, in terms of the crime of money laundering, his wife Wu Shuzhen, son Chen Zhizhong, and daughter-in-law Huang Rui-liang were all sentenced for being involved in the case. Among them, Wu Shuzhen was sentenced to two years in prison in the Nangang Exhibition Hall case, and the criminal income of 2.998,352 US dollars should be confiscated; Chen Zhizhong's money laundering criminal was sentenced to one year and fined NT$1.5 million NT$4; Huang Ruiliang was sentenced to 10 months in prison and fined NT$1 million, and was sentenced to four years of probation. All cases can be appealed. After the verdict was announced, Chen Zhizhong immediately expressed his intention to appeal. Taiwan’s legal wars are often protracted, and not pleading guilty will help continue their political career. What's more, just like Chen Shui-bian, he can still turn the world and turn black and white in 16 years. Of course, Chen Zhizhong would not give up easily. Famous Shen Fuxiong lamented that Chen Shui-bian became the regional leader, but poisoned his family and descendants. If I had known this, why would I be greedy for this power? But from a realistic perspective, Chen Shui-bian's family is insatiable and has been hiding money all over the world, and can eventually escape without hesitation. What else can he regret?
Previously, in the first instance of the confidentiality corruption case, Chen Shui-bian and his wife Wu Shuzhen were both sentenced to life imprisonment, Ma Yongcheng was sentenced to 20 years, and Lin Dexun was sentenced to 16 years. The amendment promoted by Ke Jianming was only a few words different from . Chen Shui-bian's family was immediately innocent and even refused to be prosecuted. It was a very magical verdict. Of course, Chen Shui-bian has other cases, so there is no question of getting out of it all. In addition, the people of Taiwan seem to be very calm about this. On the one hand, even if Chen Shui-bian is sentenced, he may not be arrested and imprisoned again. On the other hand, he has been on for medical parole for over the years, which has almost trampled on all the regulations and precepts of Taiwanese prisoners for those who are guilty. Taiwan judiciary is basically helpless against Chen Shui-bian. But Lan Green is constantly verbalizing about this, so the Taiwanese people are numb about Chen Shui-bian's guilt or not.
It is also necessary to mention Ke Jianming here. Although he is a dentist, he has been living in the legislative body on the island for many years and is skilled in various tricks and loopholes. In ancient times, he was considered a very skilled penman. The ancients said that the officials of the pen should not be officials and ministers. In fact, they also warned these people to specifically pick up the words of legal provisions and be good at setting names in order to achieve their personal goals, so they cannot be placed in an important position. Tang Xuanzong asked Zhang Xuansu what he did before, and Zhang Xuansu, who had worked as a sword and pen, claimed that he had not been in the market. Zhang Xuansu is considered to be self-confident, but Ke Jianming, who is really not good at it, has become an invincible weapon for the DPP to play with legislation, and he himself is content. Ke Jianming recently promoted several amendments in Taiwan's legislature, all of which were playing with words and taking things out of context to achieve his goal. Regardless of the long term, the rigorous and serious legal provisions are filled with chaotic and fragmented semantics, which will bring endless troubles. Moreover, it has set a bad example for all those who have good examples.
Lin Zhijian
For example, Ke Jianming's own apprentice, Lin Zhijian, who has been deeply involved in the storm of paper plagiarism recently. Now his alma mater, , Chinese University , is under investigation, and was revealed by Taipei MP , Wang Hongwei, . Lin Zhijian's aide and Hsinchu Civil Affairs Director Zhang Like sent a message to the University of China to guide how to respond to external doubts.Among them, they also used the three aspects of "legal side", "contract side" and "moral side" to help China University formulate the word "Lin Zhijian escape", which is comprehensive. Whether the paper was plagiarized or not is actually obvious. When Li Meizhen from Lan Camp was involved in plagiarism, her alma mater gave a conclusion in three or four days. Li admitted his mistake and gave up his degree. But it was Lin Zhijian's turn to look for original evidence in his paper, but instead of looking for comments in the school and management departments, which was exactly the same as his teacher Ke Jianming. Another unit where Lin Zhijian's paper plagiarized, Taiwan University, is said to have also encountered bottlenecks in the investigation. On the one hand, professors are unwilling to offend people and dare not sign up to participate in the verification committee, and on the other hand, they are said to make judgments in the form of secret ballots. But the facts are not something that can be decided by voting. It can be seen that under the power of the DPP, National Taiwan University was also trembling.
DPP nominated Chen Shizhong to choose Taipei. Lin Jialong chose New Taipei
DPP officially nominated Chen Shizhong to choose Taipei. Lin Jialong, who was determined to choose Taipei, was rushed to New Taipei to choose. Two days later, Chen Shizhong officially resigned and ran to Taipei despite the stalemate of the epidemic on the island. Chen Shizhong also said on social media that he believes Taipei's development has stagnated and expressed that it is not criticism but reluctance. Taipei City Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan sarcastically said on the 14th, "I feel reluctant to leave when I ask the people to queue up at the entrance of the pharmacy to buy masks, grab vaccines, and buy fast screening agents."
Chen Shizhong has been an epidemic prevention commander for more than five years. He was previously in a low-risk state due to the consciousness of the people on the island and the geographical closure of the island. Chen Shizhong attended the press conference on epidemic notification every day and was at the news center for a long time. He was once recognized by the people on the island. The polls were once supported by the ninety years, which can be regarded as a "myth" in the politics of the island. But as time goes by, people discovered that the epidemic prevention team led by Chen Shizhong is basically self-confidence and has rigid management, especially his so-called "advanced deployment" is basically a self-deception lie. In the past three years of epidemic prevention, almost all epidemic prevention materials have not been advanced, and even timely deployment and procurement have been made, which has caused the chaotic situation of people on the island to grab masks at the beginning, and later grab vaccines. Now, they have begun to question how good epidemic prevention achievements have come from Taiwan’s “luck” or the efforts of the island’s epidemic prevention team. This year, the epidemic in Taiwan has been out of control, with millions of people infected and thousands of people unable to be cured. There are many children among them. However, Chen Shizhong has not seen any specific improvements in epidemic prevention, but he has seen that he has participated in almost every political incident on the island and actively acted as a tool for the DPP to target political opponents. Just like he started to pay attention to Taipei this time, but before that, because Taipei Mayor Ke Wen-je is different from theirs, Chen Shizhong did not hide his targetedness towards Taipei in many material allocation and resource adjustments. Now he is coming to elect a mayor, and at the beginning he says he is reluctant to leave Taipei's development, which is indeed a bit embarrassing. The face of a politician is nothing more than that.

Chen Shizhong later polls fell sharply, which was not the previous state. Many polls show that he is even behind Huang Shanshan, who may run for the election by no means, and is in third place. But this does not prevent him from choosing Taipei, which is actually considered the DPP’s care for him. In this election in Taipei, three parties participated in the war. Although Jiang Wanan, who represents the Kuomintang, currently has the highest polls, his personal performance is really worthy of his work, which is worrying. However, Huang Shanshan, who was relatively neglected in the past, emerged from a new force, occupying 20% to 30% of the market, and is still in a gradual improvement. This is a very rare opportunity for the DPP, because the DPP always has 30% or 40% support in Taipei. As long as Chen Shizhong firmly grasps the basic foundation of the green camp, his chances of winning are still great.Therefore, the tone of Chen Shizhong's election battle was determined. He didn't care about the consensus of the whole nation at all. He just needed to provoke the enthusiasm of his basic base. So he doesn't mind how disdainful the public opinion nowadays, especially the non-green camp, is. Chen Shizhong has been a bureaucrat for a long time and has no election experience. He speaks with accent and his impression is actually very negative. But the DPP is good at elections and only needs to provoke disputes, intensify conflicts, and bring back green camp supporters.
Lin Jialong
Compared with Chen Shizhong's smooth sailing, Lin Jialong seems very lonely. Lin has always regarded himself very highly and is a factional leader, so this election is indeed very important to him. He also saw the opportunities in Taipei very early. In fact, with Lin Jialong's election experience and his personal qualities, Lin Jialong's choice of Taipei may be more outstanding than Chen Shizhong. People from the Blue Camp said that thousands of people died in Taiwan’s epidemic prevention, Chen Shizhong did not apologize or step down, and when Lin Jialong was the person in charge of transportation, he was at least because of a major traffic accident during his tenure. It means he is still quite ethical at least.
Lin Jialong also made quite sufficient preparations for the election. He is almost the one who is currently interested in choosing Taipei, who has the most discussions about Taipei's municipal planning, urban development, and even track construction. It means he has indeed thought about it.
But the DPP refused to give him this opportunity and insisted on him choosing New Taipei City . Currently, Hou Youyi, a family in New Taipei City, is dominant. Many local DPP representatives dare not compete with him, but they send Lin Jialong to New Taipei, which clearly means that he is "sent to death". Lin Jialong said that he devoted a lot of effort to Taipei, but was confused and ignorant of New Taipei and had no intention at all. It was considered to resist the arrangements of the DPP, but in the end it was unable to reverse the situation and could only be driven to New Taipei.
He gave his first speech in New Taipei, and he mistakenly described "New Taipei" as "Taipei", and was ridiculed by the New Taipei Municipal Government. Another New Taipei MP said that Lin Jialong directly or indirectly expressed at least "24 times" that he would not choose New Taipei, and that the forced melon is not sweet. Lin Jialong explained that Tsai Ing-wen convinced herself. But the media reported that in this nomination, the factional struggle between the Democratic Progressive Party has actually reached a point of fierceness. In addition, New Taipei has always been Su Zhenchang's territory in the past, and Su has always been determined to plan his own troops to choose New Taipei. Maybe he didn't expect Lin Jialong to be "airborne", so it was reported that Lin Jialong offended Su Zhenchang again.
