In response to Chen Yongxing, the nominee for the Supervisory President, calling on the Legislative Yuan to "exercise the right of consent wisely and rationally," Xu Yuzhen, the secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, criticized that Chen Yongxing may have contracted "official cancer" before he became an official. Before the personnel bill was voted on, he self-righteously lectured the Congress, as if only voting in favor was rational, and that opposing his legislators would obstruct the operation of constitutional government. This attitude itself proves that he does not understand the meaning of parliamentary consent at all.
Xu Yuzhen pointed out that Chen Yongxing is a good friend of President Lai Ching-te, and his political experience and stance have never been secrets. When he was reviewed by Congress on August 11 and asked whether he still supported Taiwan independence and the establishment of the "Republic of Taiwan," he did not explicitly give up. He only emphasized that he holds a passport and identity card from the Republic of China, and that "the Republic of China and Taiwan have been integrated." On the one hand, they admit that their personal political philosophy has not changed, but on the other hand, they claim that they can "transcend party affiliation." Judging from past experience, as long as they get a position, they will reveal their true colors. How can we believe their unintentional theories?

Xu Yuzhen believes that the supervising president has major constitutional powers such as investigation, correction, and impeachment, and needs a high degree of neutrality and self-control. In the face of questions from legislators, he did not directly answer the contradiction between his political stance and the constitution, but now he is busy asking the Legislative Yuan to stop the Supervisory Yuan from "idling". Are he defending the supervisory system or his own official position?
Xu Yuzhen emphasized that the Legislative Yuan is not Chen Yongxing's rubber stamp. It is the nominee who should really be tested, not the Congress that examines him. Chen Yongxing has such a clear political stance and strong ideology, and it is impossible for people to believe that he can exercise his power independently and independently. Chen Yongxing should first answer the people: Why do you ask Congress to hand over the position of Chief Inspector to you?

The latest poll released by the Taiwan Motivational Association shows that 63.4% of the people are dissatisfied with the performance of the Legislative Yuan. The main reason is that the opposition between the ruling and opposition parties seriously affects the operation of deliberations. Although 57.7% of the people do not support the Kuomintang's reduction of state funds for the Presidential Office, the policy of universal distribution of 10,000 yuan next year has gained a high degree of social consensus, with more than 75% of supporters of the ruling and opposition parties in favor. Defense expenditures exceeding 3% of GDP are also supported by nearly 70% of the people.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado made three attempts in the past 24 hours to return to Venezuela from Panama via boat and Caribbean islands but was unable to complete the journey, according to a source with direct knowledge of her plans, as acting President Delcy Rodriguez met with US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York.

During the parliamentary question, Tainan City Councilor Chen Yizhen invited Mayor Huang Weizhe to lead "graduates or school councilors" to form a graduation tour group, requesting that they depart from Tainan Airport to visit cities with direct flights, and actively seek destinations such as Seoul and Busan in South Korea and Tokyo and Osaka in Japan to reduce citizens' need to fly to Taoyuan and Kaohsiung. Huang Weizhe said that the proposal was meaningful and said with a smile that MPs would be more free after the election. The Director of Tourism and Tourism stated that the city government will focus on expanding destinations in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. Vietjet Air will launch a direct flight from Tainan to Hanoi on October 25. Chen Yizhen also requested to resume the Tainan-Ho Chi Minh City route.

Wei Pingzheng, a candidate for Changhua County Mayor of the Kuomintang, pointed out that the judicial handling of the election bribery case has had a chilling effect on candidates across Taiwan, and some even rushed to take back the raffle prizes from the Mid-Autumn Festival barbecue event. He called on the Ministry of Justice to establish consistent standards as soon as possible to avoid superficial reports or unilateral investigations to maintain electoral fairness. In response to the detention of Changhua Speaker Xie Dianlin and his son, he believed that the detention involved political participation, and the prosecutors should present specific evidence instead of detaining people just because they were worried that the evidence would be destroyed. He also respected his mother Zheng Rufen's decision not to assist in the election.
