Xu Jiaqing's resignation as chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission was approved, and Li Yanhui temporarily replaced him

Executive Yuan spokesperson Li Huizhi said today (7th) that Executive President Zhuo Rongtai received the resignations of Chairman Xu Jiaqing and Vice Chairman Li Yanhui of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council. Zhuo Kuei affirmed that Xu Jia promoted overseas Chinese affairs and built up the credibility of overseas Chinese during his tenure, but in order to safeguard his reputation, he resigned from the position of chairman. Zhuo Kuei agreed. Zhuo Kui considered that Li Yuhui had been in office for more than one year and was familiar with overseas Chinese affairs, so he offered to stay. He asked Li Yuhui to serve as acting chairman and continue to promote liaison with overseas Chinese communities and other related overseas Chinese affairs.

It was recently revealed that Xu Jiaqing used public funds to go abroad and used his privileges to let his son land on Dongsha Island. Recently, he was accused of taking his son to pretend to be a "photographer" to accompany him on a business trip to Europe during his tenure. He tacitly allowed his husband to use the official car of the foreign embassy in the United States privately. The family of three "parasitized the Overseas Chinese Committee" to attend overseas Chinese community activities together. Xu Jiaqing issued a statement this morning saying that he would resign as chairman of the committee with immediate effect and request relevant administrative and judicial investigations.

Xu Jiaqing said that during her six-and-a-half-year tenure at the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council, she had always administered affairs in accordance with the law, devoted herself to public service, gone all out, and had a clear conscience, whether at home or abroad. She alleged that "certain legislators" had repeatedly spread rumors and distorted her position, but she would not back down due to repeated unreasonable questioning and suppression. In the past, even though she had continuously clarified the facts, restored the truth, and provided a large amount of information, there was still no room for rational political discussion. Therefore, she decided to request relevant administrative and judicial investigations by herself, cooperate fully, never evade, and respect the final investigation results.

Li Yanhui, vice chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council, also resigned. Zhuo Kui offered her condolences and asked her to act as chairman.
