The Kuomintang group of the Legislative Yuan held a press conference today to question the Democratic Progressive Party’s Yilan County Mayor Lin Guozhang, who once served as a supervisor and shareholder of Aite Advanced Semiconductor doing business in the mainland Chinese market. The Kuomintang League stated that Lin Guozhang was cheating on votes by resisting China and protecting Taiwan on stage, but he was making a lot of red money off the stage. They called on Lin Guozhang and the Democratic Progressive Party not to have double standards and responded to the doubts of the society.
Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, said that Aite Advanced Semiconductor has been doing semiconductor business in mainland China for a long time. Information shows that Lin Guozhang has served as the supervisor of Aite Advanced Semiconductor since 2014, and is not a nominal shareholder, but he is a shareholder. In 2021, his shareholding increased from 100,000 shares to 200,000. He did not step down as the supervisor until June last year, and then announced his candidacy for Yilan County Magistrate.

Xu Yuzhen pointed out that Lin Guozhang shouted against China to protect Taiwan and attacked the Kuomintang with arms purchases and national defense, but he still held stocks in companies doing business in China. The irony is that the DPP can scold Legislative President Han Guoyu for helping farmers and fishermen find orders from China, but the DPP keeps silent when Lin Guozhang's company handles the Chinese market. It turns out that business in China is not impossible, it just requires the DPP's own people to do it, so it can be ignored.
Xu Yuzhen stressed that he was not opposed to normal economic and trade exchanges, but opposed to political double standards. He could not use anti-China support and Taiwan fraud on stage to defraud votes, but make a lot of red money off stage. If Lin Guozhang wants to be elected as the county magistrate of Yilan, he should come out and face it. He should make his words clear, spread the account, and announce the amount of China's revenue, dividends, and supervisors' remuneration. Resisting China and supporting Taiwan is not a fig leaf. Has Lin Guozhang made money from the Chinese market? Stop double-standardizing and shouting slogans, and explain the red money controversy clearly to the folks in Yilan.
Kuomintang legislator Lin Peixiang also said that Taiwan has to do business with the world. The real problem is not whether it can do business with China, but why the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party say it is to make red money when doing business with China, but when it is the turn of the DPP itself, it turns to normal business behavior. It's not that there's a problem with normal economics and trade, but that there's a problem with the DPP's double standards. It's shameful to deceive Taiwanese people with two sets of standards.
Lin Peixiang said that Lin Guozhang was just a private lawyer in the past, and we had no interest in managing legal investments. But it is different today. If you join the DPP to run for Yilan County Magistrate, you will be tested by the same standards that the DPP used to test others. Is this fair? Or is it that the DPP’s magic mirror can only reflect on others but not itself?
Kuomintang legislator Niu Xuting pointed out that Lin Guozhang previously held many state-owned enterprise positions and is now a supervisor of a semiconductor company. He is very capable. Don't pretend to be fresh and fresh. In fact, he is a hidden relative of the emperor. Everyone hopes that he can stand up and speak clearly about his doubts about red money. But don't be too surprised. I'm afraid they will have to use the traditional response of smearing and spreading rumors to get over it.
Niu Xuting said that what everyone cannot accept is the practice of double standards. The Democratic Progressive Party talks about resisting China and protecting Taiwan, and industrial development requires a non-red supply chain. If there is collusion behind the scenes, isn't it a problem? Shouldn't it be examined with the highest and most stringent standards? Fighting against China is work, and making red money is life. Can Taiwanese people accept the behavior of such a defrauding group? Please Lin Guozhang not to evade the issue. Elections are inspections. Avoidance will bring shame to democracy. We look forward to seeing Lin Guozhang’s honest response.
