The red money was used as charity money to plant flags in the hometown and build "Gaojin Road". The office was forced to take over the management of "wipe the butt"

The completion record shows that the donations from the Mainland ARATS were carried out by the Taiwan Aboriginal Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange Association, and some roads were paved with asphalt or cement without knowing the township office.

Quick Look

  • In the name of disaster relief, the Gaojin Sumei Group took the head of the aboriginal village to the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council in Beijing, which was later funded by donations from the Mainland ARATS and paved the way through the Taiwan Aboriginal Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange Association.
  • There are about 4 roads in places like Laiyi and Kasuri in Pingtung.
  • Some of them were paved with asphalt or cement by the unknown township government.

Why It Matters

Gao Jin Sumei was prosecuted under the National Security Law, and prosecutors revealed that her method of wooing indigenous people resulted in a huge cash flow of 170 million yuan. The article mentioned that after visiting General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Hu Jintao many years ago, he brought back 20 million yuan from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. Whether it is part of it should be clearly clarified.

This newspaper recently revealed that the Gaojin Sumei Group distributed cash to tribes in the name of disaster relief after the 88 Typhoon, and even used the name of disaster relief to bring some aboriginal village chiefs to Beijing to request disaster relief funds. After returning to Taiwan, the "Taiwan Aboriginal Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange" was run by its chief accountant Zhang Junjie. After the reports were fermented, it was learned that the red money was originally used as a "donation" to plant flags in the hometown, but for some road projects, even the township office where the road was "paved" did not know "who would spend the money." After the mud was turned into a road, it had to be managed by the office's budget.

Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei was prosecuted under the National Security Law, and prosecutors also revealed that the amount of money he used to win over aborigines was 170 million yuan. However, some people believe that the 20 million yuan he brought back from the Taiwan Affairs Office after visiting the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Hu Jintao many years ago should be charity money. Is it part of it? It should be clearly clarified, but in fact, a few years after recovering the red money, Gaojin Group even used the name of disaster relief to bring the mayors who needed disaster relief to the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council in Beijing. Later, they actually brought back the red money from the China Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait to "pave the way" for the organization, and set up a sign of "cross-strait mutual aid, heart and hand" along the way.

Most of the mountain road completion signs paved with red money are mottled, but the words on one of the road completion signs are still legible. The text reads, "In January 2010, Legislator Gao Jin Sumei arranged for Kasuga Township Mayor Chen Zhaozhong to visit Beijing and hold talks with Director Wang Yi of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. During the meeting, Township Chief Chen Zhaozhong mentioned the plight and needs of Kasuga Township after Typhoon Morakot, and Director Wang Yi promised support on the spot. 20 In November 2011, the ARATS notified the post-disaster community public works construction in Kasuga Township and entrusted the Taiwan Aboriginal Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange Association to implement it. At the end of December, the ARATS donated funds, and finally the funds were signed by Gao Jin Sumei and the Taiwan Aboriginal Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange Association, and the Taiwan Aboriginal Multi-Ethnic Cultural Exchange Association was clearly listed as the "implementation unit".

There are about four such road projects in Laiyi and Chunri, Pingtung, whose sources of funding obviously belong to foreign countries and whose use process is not subject to public inspection. It is reported that the township office was not notified of the development of some sections or even the entire road in these roads, resulting in the original non-managed stone Nibanong Road being paved. The road was paved with asphalt or cement, and was even directly called "Gaojin Road" by nearby residents. On the one hand, the association asked the villagers along the road to continue to support the Gaojin faction. On the other hand, it left it alone after the road was paved. The township government, under pressure from voters, even had to spend public funds to take over the management, which was like wiping the butt of red money.

Lost weight after 54 days in custody! Xie Xinlong paid tens of millions of dollars on bail and had to take a shower and get a haircut before eating pig's trotters and noodles to get rid of bad luck.

Xie Xinlong, the father of the Kuomintang Changhua County Speaker Xie Dianlin, was detained for 54 days in connection with a case of bribery at a dinner party and private use of public funds. Yesterday (10th), the Changhua District Court ruled that he would be released on bail of 10 million yuan and restricted from living, leaving the country and going overseas. After he was released from prison, he did not return home directly. He first took a bath and had a haircut, and then went home to eat pig's feet noodles to "get rid of bad luck." He showed up at the service office at 10:30 a.m. today (11th). He was thin but in good spirits and did not respond to the case. The second daughter of the Xie family held tens of millions of dollars in cash to apply for bail, and used "strikes in the east and west" to get rid of the media.
