Why It Matters
Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang caused controversy by mocking independent candidate Wei Zaowen as "Uncle Wei Zaowen (forgery of documents)" in a public TV debate. Keelung City Councilor Zhang Zhihao of the Democratic Progressive Party pointed out that last year, the municipal civil affairs director Zhang Yuanxiang and the chairman of the Kuomintang Municipal Party Committee and others were sentenced by the court for allegedly embezzling citizens' personal information and forging as many as 683 proposals in an attempt to remove Zhang Zhihao. According to the investigation data of the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office in July 2025, the two recall cases totaled 1,063 forged proposals, of which 683 were for the recall case targeting Zhang Zhihao. Zhang Yuanxiang was eventually sentenced to 1 year and 10 months in prison, suspended for 3 years, and deprived of public rights for 2 years. In addition, the documents submitted to the Ministry of Transportation for the Keelung MRT Phase 2 project were not sent to the council for review. The city councilors only received a "happy picture with ghostly symbols" without details or a site number.
Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang provoked controversy when he mocked independent candidate Wei Zaowen as "Uncle Wei Zaowen (forgery)" in a public TV debate. Keelung City Councilor Zhang Zhihao of the Democratic Progressive Party pointed out that the reason why Xie Guoliang is so sensitive to these four words is because last year, the municipal civil affairs director Zhang Yuanxiang and the chairman of the Kuomintang Municipal Party Committee and others were suspected of embezzlement of citizens' personal information and forgery. As many as 683 proposals were submitted in an attempt to remove him, and both were sentenced to death by the court. Zhang Zhihao criticized Xie Guoliang not only because he owed Wei Zaowen a public apology, but also revealed that the Keelung MRT Phase 2 plan sent to the Ministry of Transportation by the city government has not yet been sent to the council for review. The city councilors only got a "Happy Picture with Ghostly Drawings" without details and location numbers. There is no way to explain to the public the laziness of governance.
In response to Xie Guoliang's mockery of his opponent Wei Zaowen's name, Zhang Zhihao posted on Facebook yesterday (10th) that the reason why Xie said he was "disgusting about the Kuomintang" was because the Keelung Kuomintang "forged documents" and lost a lot of party workers. Zhang Yuanxiang, the civil affairs director of the Xie Guoliang City Government and a former KMT city councilor, as the first director of the Keelung City Government, ordered civil servants such as the Keelung Civil Affairs Office and the Household Registration Office to steal citizens' personal information and be sentenced. At the same time, the chairman of the Keelung City Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang was sentenced for "forging documents." Xie Guoliang's civil affairs director stole personal information, and Xie Guoliang's KMT chairman forged documents, all in order to "remove Zhang Zhihao," "that's me."
Zhang Zhihao pointed out that citizen groups initiated joint signatures to recall Xie Guoliang and legislator Lin Peixiang. Both times were constitutional, legal and compliant. Both the first and second stages were approved after strict review. Although the recall vote failed, the recall group at least abided by the laws and regulations and was willing to admit defeat. On the other hand, the recall initiated by the Kuomintang involved stealth, stealing civil affairs personal information, and forging documents. Therefore, many people in Xie Guoliang City Hall were sentenced for this. According to the investigation data of the Keelung District Prosecutor's Office in July 2025, the two recall cases totaled 1,063 forged proposals, of which the recall case targeting Zhang Zhihao was as high as 683.
Zhang Zhihao continued that Zhang Yuanxiang was eventually sentenced to one year in October, suspended for three years, and deprived of public rights for two years, which severely damaged his political career. He couldn't help but lament that Zhang Yuanxiang is from the same clan, and his father, former mayor Zhang Tongrong, still has to stand up for Xie Guoliang. This is called real grievance and helplessness.
Regarding Xie Guoliang's joke about his opponent's name at the end of the debate, Zhang Zhihao criticized Wei Zaowen as a legitimate candidate with dignity and personality, but Xie Guoliang took advantage of the opponent's absence to personally attack him. "Is this "love"? I think Mayor Xie owes Mr. Wei an apology."
In addition, Xie Guoliang talked a lot about the Keelung MRT throughout the debate, but what he did not talk about was that the MRT plan, feasibility assessment, and documents sent to the Ministry of Transportation were not given to the Keelung City Council at all. Until the general inquiry of the city council last month, the information I received was still a picture in the briefing I received in May this year. In the picture, there is a thick line stretching from Badu to Anle District. There are no details, no specific numbers or place numbers, just a happy picture.
Zhang Zhihao ridiculed, if this kind of ghost-drawing pictures can be used to explain, he has a better idea, why not draw a land, sea and air, draw a high-speed railway, draw an airport, draw a sea paradise, fly into the sky and escape into the Dragon Palace? Anyway, Xie Guoliang City Government is a city government that can't even produce electric motorcycles. It's a mayor who swallows the words "if you can't do it without being re-elected".
