Why It Matters
The investigation investigated Legislator Gao Jin Sumei’s involvement in Communist espionage and found out that the CCP intended to cultivate former National Congress representative Shi Yashan as his successor through his aide Zhang Junjie to continue its political influence in the Legislative Yuan. Shi Yashan became associated with Gao Jin in his early years due to protests against visiting the Yasukuni Shrine. In September this year, he was also summoned in connection with the Gao Jin case.
The investigation into the case of legislator Gao Jin Sumei involved in Communist espionage revealed that the CCP intends to cultivate a successor and continue its political influence in the Legislative Yuan. It is understood that China, through Zhang Junjie, an important staff member of Gaojin, listed Shi Yashan, a former representative of the National Congress of the Bunun tribe of the Dongpu tribe in Nantou County, as a training target. In his early years, Shi became associated with Gaojin due to protests against visiting the Yasukuni Shrine. In September this year, Shi was also summoned in connection with the Gaojin case.
National security sources pointed out that the CCP is not only focused on speaking out on specific issues through Gaofin, but also intends to cultivate subsequent political candidates so that the existing tribal connections and mobilization foundation can be continued. Shi Yashan has experience in tribal work teams and National Congress representatives, making him a preferred candidate for succession in the Chinese plan.
In the Gao Jin case, prosecutors accused China of providing funds through Zhang Junjie to support activities such as protests at the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan and the United Nations. In addition to involving funds and personnel recruitment, some of the confidential letters exchanged between the two parties are consistent with SAIF’s congressional inquiries. China has also described Gao Jin as "a fishbone stuck in the throat of Taiwan's freedom and democracy" and offered financial aid to other Taiwanese representatives.
It is understood that the intersection between Shi Yashan and Gao Jin on issues can be traced back to at least 2005. At that time, he went to Taoyuan Airport with dozens of tribesmen to protest against then Taiwan Federation Chairman Su Jinqiang’s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, and was sentenced for it.
Shi Yashan later wrote in an article signed by "Masters of Legal Colonization of Taiwan" that he was sentenced to one month in prison for obstructing freedom due to the protest. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the sentence and linked the incident to the situation of indigenous peoples facing conflicts with national laws, land and traditional culture. The article was published on the "Member Gao Jin Sumei" page of the Legislative Yuan website, and the views were communicated to the outside world through Gao Jin's parliamentary platform.
Shi Yashan is also a member of the Aboriginal Tribe Task Force. In 2005, he was ranked fifth among Zhang Yazhong's 150-member alliance and was elected as a representative of the mission-oriented National Congress. Since then, he has continued to participate in local politics. In 2018, he ran for election as a village representative for the 3rd constituency of Xinyi Township as a non-party member. His experience as a former national representative, member of the tribal work team, and head of a neighbor in Dongpu Village was included in the election bulletin.
