Kuomintang Legislator Weng Xiaoling's deletion of frozen state secret fees caused controversy. Yunlin County Mayor candidate Zhang Jiajun donated salary to remedy the situation. Lu Xiuyan spread rumors and "abandoned the bill" and her image collapsed.

Kuomintang's non-district legislator Weng Xiaoling insisted on deleting the President's confidential state fees, which led the Presidential Office to cancel the purchase of mooncakes from 37 factories that protect disadvantaged groups, triggering public outrage. Yunlin County Mayor candidate and legislator Zhang Jiajun announced that he would donate one month’s salary to purchase mooncake gift boxes made by disadvantaged groups. Democratic Progressive Party legislators Zhuang Ruixiong and Chen Peiyu criticized the Kuomintang for "having a great time cutting budgets" and only now repairing the broken network. Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yan has repeatedly spread rumors that the Presidential Office has "abandoned the order" to smear the Presidential Office, triggering criticism from the outside world, and her image as a "mom mayor" has completely collapsed. The Democratic Progressive Party announced the ranking of the top ten worst committee members of Blue and White, and Weng Xiaoling won the championship. The article pointed out that Weng Xiaoling insisted on deleting the budget due to her extreme hatred of the DPP and Lai Qingde, while Lu Xiuyan was blinded by partisan hatred and political calculations. The two men's joint operation may lead to the complete collapse of the KMT in the "nine-in-one election".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' budget for the Rongbang Plan has been slashed by nearly 300 million. Official explanation: Early planning funds are relatively high and will be retained for implementation.

Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs actively promotes Rongbang diplomacy. In 2015, it allocated a budget of more than 370 million yuan for the implementation of the Rongbang Plan for the first time in 2015. However, in the 2016 budget, it was slashed by nearly 300 million yuan to 78.1 million yuan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that the main reason is that the early planning funds are relatively high and the legal procedures are late. The relevant funds will be retained until 2016 for continued implementation, which does not mean a reduction in capacity.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's eldest son, Chiang Deli, has only admitted 25 students to the Taipei International Exchange Student Program, which has raised questions because he still uses public funds to exchange in the United States despite being an American citizen. Internet celebrity "Mr. 486" Chen Yanchang criticized Jiang Wanan as a political idiot, and revealed that all of Jiang Deli's junior high school and elementary school classmates were Indonesian. Their IP sources were all from Indonesia, and most of his classmates wrote in simplified Chinese, questioning his true identity and the fairness of the exchange plan.

However, the Kuomintang subsequently lost contact and did not place the order. It only issued a press release stating that all orders had been made. DPP Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Ruilong subsequently subscribed for all 300 boxes.
