Investigating the case of non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei involved in violating the National Security Law. After investigation, it was found that Gao Jin and his former office director Zhang Junjie and others used the "Ancestral Land Team" to introduce a person from China. The core purpose of the 700 million yuan fund is not only to develop a communist espionage organization, but also to control specific legislators to influence Congress. The prosecutor listed six major actions that Gaofin assisted the CCP in addressing specific issues in Congress or society, including "holding anti-Japanese press conferences, deleting the budget of the representative office in Japan, anti-arms purchase cases, influencing the review of bills, fine-tuning the curriculum, and protesting and speaking out on cross-strait and diplomatic issues."
It is understood that in order to expand grassroots political strength, the Gaofin team established the "Ancestral Land" team more than 20 years ago to integrate the "Tribal Working Team" responsible for local affairs in the indigenous constituencies and the "Congress Team" of the Legislative Yuan. In the early days, through the "Ancestral Land website" or the printing and distribution of the "Ancestral Land" bi-weekly newspaper, Gao Jin's political achievements and other achievements were publicized, and her vote base at the grassroots level of the indigenous people was established.
The investigation revealed that the "Ancestral Land Team" was actually a communist espionage organization. Lin Yijun, Gao Jin Sumei's assistant, was the key "cross-strait liaison". She acted as an agent for Gao Jin and Zhang Junjie and traveled across the Taiwan Strait to receive instructions from CCP officials for a long time. Zhang Junjie ostensibly used China's "donation of hometown tribal construction funds" as a resource to help Gao Jin go deep into his hometown to win re-election, and secretly used the accounts of relatives and friends to remit huge sums of money to maintain the organization's operations.
Prosecutors believe that Gao Jin Sumei knew that Zhang Junjie's huge funds for running the "Land of Ancestors" or that the CCP's funding of her campaign expenses were "not free," but she still followed instructions to influence discussions in the Legislative Yuan or cooperated in speaking out and protesting on "anti-arms purchases, fine-tuning of curriculum," cross-strait, diplomacy and other related issues.
The prosecutor listed Gao Jin Sumei's six major acts of cooperation. Among them, the anti-Japanese press conference took place in 2005. At that time, she led a delegation to the square of the United Nations Headquarters in New York, USA, to spread banners, shout slogans, and accuse the Japanese government of atrocities against the indigenous people during the Japanese occupation.
Gao Jin Sumei is also a staunch "anti-arms purchase case" faction. During the period accused by the prosecutors of being involved in the case, that is, between 2005 and 2016, she called on indigenous groups to protest the arms purchase case at the Legislative Yuan. She cooperated with the blue camp to "suspend the listing" of various U.S. military purchase budgets and national defense upgrade projects, preventing them from entering the chamber for review. She once said that "arms purchases provoke the other side of the Taiwan Strait and increase tensions in the Taiwan Strait," but she did not worry about weakening national defense or the danger of invasion by the Chinese Communist Party.
