Is Gao Hongan declaring war on the Green Camp and DPP authorities?
On December 19, Hsinchu mayor Gao Hongan, who is a member of the Taiwan People's Party, announced the first wave of personnel in the city government. The biggest highlight was the appointment of a prosecutor as the deputy mayor, which surprised the outside world. This appointment is also likely to be interpreted in connection with Gao Hongan's investigation by Taiwan's prosecutors on the 15th for allegedly fraudulently claiming assistant fees. Is Gao Hongan declaring war on the Green Camp and the DPP authorities?
Gao Hongan
The first wave of personnel appointments is to find a prosecutor as his deputy
The deputy prosecutor of Gao Hongan is named Cai Liqing. He was a prosecutor of the Taipei Shilin District Prosecutor's Office and a prosecutor of the " High Prosecutor's Office". During her tenure as a grassroots prosecutor, she handled a gambling case involving Chen Rui, the son of artist Chen Karen, who was involved in a campus gang, and a case of cement worker Hu Qiyang breaking off his palm for insurance fraud, etc. She was also awarded the bronze sculpture trophy of "Deep Observation" for her meritorious service in investigating a phone fraud group.
Yesterday, Cai Liqing revealed that she was surprised when she was consulted by Gao Hongan, but Gao said that she would rely on her talents in the rule of law and experience in the public service system. This is the area in which she is good at, so the goal she set for herself is to "clean government, promote profits, and serve the people."
Gao Hong'an also said yesterday that the public has doubts about some of Hsinchu City's past public projects, and some people regard them as fraud (such as the Hsinchu City Baseball Stadium project that cost NT$1.2 billion), and prosecutors have the ability to "debug (remove errors)."
Want to fight to the death with the DPP?
As a favorite of Terry Gou and Taiwan People’s Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe, Gao Hongan has always dared to hate and attack the DPP. Although she made it clear that the appointment has nothing to do with her lawsuit, it is difficult not to cause some political associations to the outside world.
"Lianhe Zaobao" published an article on the 17th titled "Taiwan's Post-Election Swordsmanship", saying that from the perspective of "power transformation", Gao Hongan defeated the Democratic Progressive Party, and the People's Party won the power to govern Hsinchu City, a semiconductor technology center, for the first time. Before the election, he promised to "turn over the carpet" to thoroughly investigate corruption suspicions that have inflated the budgets of many major projects, including the Hsinchu Baseball Stadium that caused star injuries, putting the Democratic Progressive Party under threat. According to public opinion, by defeating Gao Hong'an, the DPP aims to target the political energy of its potential rival, People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe, and also to contain her former boss, Terry Gou, who is deeply popular for donating vaccines.
Former Taipei City Councilor Luo Zhiqiang of the Kuomintang praised Gao Hongan for her courage and said that the people have had enough of the DPP's "arrogant bullying, abuse of power and corruption" and expect her to eliminate evil and bring order to chaos.
And Ke Wenzhe's answer makes the "answer" readily available: Since the moral standard of the DPP is so high, let's use the same standards to examine each other .
