Legislator Gao Jin Sumei was accused of accepting 170 million in funds to work for the Chinese Communist Party in the past 10 years. She was prosecuted by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and sentenced to 14 years in prison. However, Gao Jin Sumei is still serving as a legislator, and the outside world is worried that it will become a breach of national security. In this regard, Democratic Progressive Party legislator Wu Lihua believed today (7th) that after Gao Jin Sumei was exposed to fraudulently receive subsidies in February this year, the Ministry will be more cautious in providing subsidies. In the future, the Executive Yuan will also be more cautious when facing Gao Jin.

Gao Jin Sumei was involved in a case of communist espionage and bribery. The High Prosecutor's Office recently concluded the investigation and prosecuted four people including Gao Jin Sumei, Zhang Junjie, the "big accountant" who absconded from the country, office director Chen Zhihuang and assistant Lin Yijun. Among them, Gao Jin Sumei was sentenced to 14 years in prison, with restrictions on leaving the country and sea, and Zhang Junjie was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Chen Zhihuang and Lin Yijun pleaded guilty, but were found to be at risk of fleeing, destroying evidence, and colluding with accomplices or witnesses, and were ordered to continue to be detained without permission.

Wu Lihua wrote on Facebook last night (6th) that in fact, people in the tribe have been talking about Gao Jin’s skills and the price of buying stakes for many years. A retired assistant who once worked for Gao Jin Office also said that he would receive a call from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. Now that Chen Zhihuang has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes and developing the CCP organization, it will be difficult for Gao Jin Sumei to convince ordinary people even if he says that he did not take a dime and that it was Zhang Junjie and Chen Zhihuang who did it themselves.

However, in an interview with this newspaper, Wu Lihua said that not only Gao Jin Sumei has become a local collaborator of the CCP, but also the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China and the Taiwan Affairs Offices of various provinces. Every year, they compile "funds for the united front against Taiwan" and regard Taiwanese public opinion representatives, association chairpersons, pastors, leaders and other leaders as the main targets of the united front. In recent years, the CCP's united front program strategy has been suspected to have changed, requiring visiting delegation members to be Taiwanese youth or students. However, it is difficult to restrict free cross-Strait non-governmental exchanges, and the National Security Law must be amended. Otherwise, the CCP’s united front infiltration will only become more and more serious.

As for Gao Jin Sumei, she still serves as a committee member and has access to domestic confidential information. Wu Lihua pointed out that in February this year, it was revealed that Gao Jin Sumei founded the association and was suspected of using false invoices to inflate funds and fraudulently receive subsidies. In fact, many ministries have become more cautious in providing information and reviewing subsidy cases. This time, the level of Gao Jin Sumei's involvement has been raised to the National Security Law, and the court has even ruled to continue detaining two of her assistants. She believes that the Executive Yuan will also have a more cautious attitude in the future.
