Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei was suspected of accepting 170 million yuan in funds from the Chinese Communist Party and cooperating with relevant United Front operations in Taiwan. On the 6th, she was indicted by the High Procuratorate and asked to serve 14 years in prison. The co-defendants include her former office director Zhang Junjie (who is wanted as a fugitive), Chen Zhixuan, and assistant Lin Yijun. In response, DPP legislator Wu Lihua posted a post on Facebook late at night on the 6th, pointing out that the Gao Jin Sumei "group" has taken root in all walks of life and in various places. How to uproot it depends on the 2026 election and the wisdom of the (aboriginal) people.

Wu Lihua’s Facebook pointed out that in addition to being sentenced to 14 years in prison for violating the National Security Law, Gao Jin Sumei was also indicted by the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office in June this year and sentenced to 12 years and six months for allegedly fraudulently claiming public assistant fees, falsely reporting association subsidies, and illegally importing rapid screening reagents made in China.

Wu Lihua revealed that whenever she wanted to speak out about the Gao Jin Sumei incident, she would be stopped by many people, "I don't want to add insult to injury, don't let the aborigines talk about aborigines, and be careful of being fixed by the gangsters." However, a young man from Ren'ai Township, Nantou County recently sent her a message, questioning why aborigines always have to bear the controversy and harm caused by politicians, "Committee, you should stand up and speak out."

Wu Lihua lamented that it seemed that the aborigines had a long-held anger that they wanted to vent, and she wanted to take out the garbage in her heart, because she had been targeted by Gao Jin Sumei over the years. The other party would Line her Facebook content to other people, and then make comments such as disgusting, fake, etc. As for Zhang Junjie, he hated her even more, and he published 10 consecutive articles naming and insulting people.

Wu Lihua said that the "brainwashing" behavior of the Gao Jin Sumei Group troubled her very much. There was once an office worker who was very supportive of her, but later left a message in simplified Chinese saying that she was "green toad, forbidden, shameless", etc. Wu Lihua was very dumbfounded and stunned.

Wu Lihua said that after Gao Jin Sumei was investigated, every statement she made on Facebook was used to deceive supporters. For example, after she was sued by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office, every statement she made would only mention the government's incompetence and that she was using rapid screening kits to save people. However, it is certainly illegal to import and distribute medical equipment without government approval, not to mention that many people who received the rapid screening kits revealed that they were completely unusable.

Wu Lihua pointed out that Gao Jin Sumei issued a statement immediately after being indicted by the High People's Procuratorate, emphasizing that she did not develop organizations for the CCP and did not receive any funds. The crimes stated in the indictment were not true. However, just a few hours later, Gao Jin Sumei was immediately slapped in the face by the most respected current director of the office, Chen Zhiqian. Chen Zhiqian and his assistant Lin Yijun quickly confessed during the trial, confessing to all the criminal facts prosecuted by the prosecutor, and even confessed to other accomplices.

Wu Lihua revealed that in fact, people in the tribe have been discussing Gao Jin's skills and the price of buying stakes for many years. A retired assistant who once worked for Gao Jin's office also said that he would receive a call from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. At this time, the organization fee of 170 million was revealed, and everyone was shocked that there was so much money.

In addition, Gao Jin Sumei repeatedly mentioned that she has been the legislator for seven consecutive years to prove her serious efforts and the love of her tribe. However, Wu Lihua pointed out that in the 24 years since Gao Jin served as a legislator, she has been frequently listed as a legislator to be observed by the Public Supervision League 18 times. The frequency of legal proposals and inquiries is the lowest among 113 legislators. She has traveled all over Taiwan, and people everywhere reported that they had never seen Gao Jin appear.

Wu Lihua emphasized that Gao Jin Sumei quoted Yu Qian's poem "Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must leave your innocence in the world." However, Gao Jin Sumei, who even dared to fraudulently receive assistant fees, was completely unqualified to say this. What's more, she did not even dare to criticize the communist system and dictatorship leader Xi Jinping, and she was not qualified to speak about the true meaning of democracy.

Wu Lihua said that as for Zhang Junjie, the former director of Gao Jin Sumei's office, he successfully smuggled into the country after 52 days on the run, which undoubtedly means that the organization Zhang Junjie has developed over the years cannot be underestimated. The CCP's infiltration into Taiwan seems to have laid a dragnet.

Wu Lihua believes that from Zhang Junjie's absconding out of the country to Chen Zhiqian's confession of all the contents of the prosecution, including absorbing religious leaders, traditional leaders, 170 million development organization funds, etc., it can be seen that this "group" has taken root in all walks of life and everywhere. How to uproot it will depend on this election.

There were also positive and negative discussions in online communities, with some posts criticizing "corruption criminals" and triggering follow-up messages from local people.

The "Another Village" incident spreads! Zhou Xuan: Jiang Wanan’s team is disturbing

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan went to the Ningxia night market to sweep the streets to collect votes. When he passed the "Yiyi Cun" dumpling shop, his supporters shouted slogans and was criticized as being like a debt collection group. Political worker Zhou Xuan criticized Chiang's team for not calling on supporters not to go to war and to oppose bullying. Jiang Wanan responded that it would be embarrassing if it affected the store. It would be a big misunderstanding to say it was bullying or going to war.
