Lai Ching-te’s property ownership deemed legitimate
Taiwan’s Ministry of Finance clarifies that the property at Lai Ching-te’s permanent residence was not illegally transferred from public to private ownership. The Finance National Property Administration states that land registry data show the property has always been privately owned and has no record of being expropriated from state ownership. Accusations of profiteering corruption against Lai by former legislator Chiu Yi and media personality Mao Chia-ching are refuted by the FNP, which reiterates that the land has been privately owned since 1940 with no records of state ownership or transfer.2023/12/26 22:18 -
Former legislator Chiu sees Gou as a force one can’t ignore
The potential alliance between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) for the 2024 presidential election is generating significant interest. Chiu Yi, a former legislator of the KMT and People First Party, has proposed a strategy to revive the KMT-TPP alliance, highlighting the strong candidacy of Foxconn founder Terry Gou. Yi believes that the success of the alliance depends on the KMT’s commitment to open and democratic elections. He warns that the KMT’s lack of transparency in the primary election could lead to further issues, potentially making Gou a target for investigations. Yi suggests implementing open public voting during the primaries to prevent any hidden manipulation and emphasizes Gou’s significant support base, which cannot be ignored.2023/11/03 19:04
