Why It Matters
Kuomintang legislator Weng Xiaoling proposed freezing state secret fees for the Presidential Palace, which resulted in the cancellation of orders for 37 shelter factories and 15,000 boxes of Mid-Autumn gift boxes originally purchased by the Presidential Palace, affecting the livelihoods of vulnerable groups.
Kuomintang legislator Weng Xiaoling froze the state secret fees of the presidential palace, which resulted in the cancellation of orders for 15,000 boxes of Mid-Autumn gift boxes from 37 sheltered factories. Chairman Zheng Liwen recently announced that she would take over all of them. However, "Slowly Hengchun Sheltered Factory" said on the 5th that it had previously received an inquiry from the Kuomintang for an order of 300 boxes, but the Kuomintang did not place an order afterwards. Zhang Yumeng, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Generation Community Good Association, said on the 5th that there was also a sheltered factory in Kaohsiung that was "released" by the Kuomintang, and the methods were exactly the same as the "Slowly Hengchun Sheltered Factory". Zhang questioned: "What is the Kuomintang like? Does it have a grudge against the weak?"
Zhang Yumeng pointed out that the Kaohsiung "Little Grass Care Association" sheltered workshop also received a call from the Kuomintang saying that it wanted to order 300 boxes, and the packaging materials were ordered, but the Kuomintang lost contact directly. Zhang Yumeng said that the CEO of Xiaocao Care Association was very sure that the call was from the Central Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang clearly stated on the phone that it wanted to order 300 boxes. The sheltered workshop later called back proactively, and the Kuomintang organizer said that he would ask the chief again. He called the Kuomintang many times, and the person on the phone said, "The organizer is not at the seat." Xiaocao Care Association still does not know whether the Kuomintang still wants to order.

Zhang Yumeng relayed that the Xiaocao Care Association said helplessly: "Buyers have the absolute right to decide not to buy, but the basic integrity should be 'If you decide not to order after evaluation, please inform the seller clearly.'" Zhang believes that sheltered workshops will not force purchases to begin with. "Just a simple sentence can prevent sheltered workshops from stocking up and reduce losses." However, the Kuomintang did the opposite and not only disappeared without a trace, but also issued a press release announcing that "all orders have been taken."
Zhang Yumeng said that after the news came to light, Democratic Progressive Party Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Ruilong immediately subscribed for all 300 boxes, and before this incident, Lai Ruilong had already subscribed for 500 boxes. In response to the flaws in the Kuomintang order, Zhang Yumeng questioned: "What is the Kuomintang like? Does it have a grudge against the weak? Even when ordering moon cakes, it will make a show of its secrets. After asking and hesitating, if you don't want to order, isn't it common sense to call and tell people? It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and this can be messed up. It's the first time I saw the invincible King of Destruction of Mid-Autumn Moon cakes."
