Font size

The online political talk show "The Chairman Speaks" was held in Zhudong tonight. Xu Xinying, the candidate for Hsinchu County Mayor of the Kuomintang, attended the talk. Host Wu Zijia took advantage of the land development and other controversies involving DPP opponent Zheng Chaofang and his family, and promised in public that as long as she is elected In the election, no personal signature will be used in future county government construction, and her family will never interfere in politics or be involved in any procurement cases. She also invites experts and county residents to form a county government advisory group to jointly supervise county government. She calls on county residents to use their votes to eliminate money-power politics and protect the pure land of Zhudong and the honest politics of Hsinchu County.

Xu Xinying blasted that politics is not a personal performance and Hsinchu County should not be the private assets of powerful families. Regarding the black gold controversy that broke out recently between Zheng Chaofang and his family, she asked the judicial authorities to actively investigate, and also asked politicians to explain clearly to the public whether the relevant incidents involve development interests and whether there are conflicts of interest. He also named Zheng Chaofang and his family must give an explanation to the county people; and Lai Qingde, who nominated Zheng Chaofang, must give an explanation to Taiwan: Why did he compromise with the local privileged families?

Xu Xinying said that when she was fighting for the National Taiwan University Hospital to settle in Zhubei, Zheng Chaofang and his family were trying to cash out the land transfer and made a huge profit of 300 million. When the Kuomintang wanted to turn Zhudong into the Kumamoto of Taiwan, Zheng Chaofang and his family used 180,000 square meters of land in Zhudong to turn it into a funeral park and a land materials field.

She questioned whether "someone" is using political aesthetics as a gorgeous package in an attempt to gain votes. I wonder if they can use this to exchange for power, and then exchange power for land and land for banknotes? The beautiful mountains and waters of Zhudong are by no means anyone’s private treasury or cash machine.

She also said that the mayor of Hsinchu County is not an upgraded version of the mayor of Zhubei, but the chief engineer of the county government and the general person in charge of industry, transportation, education, urban and rural development, etc. The future of Hsinchu County is a holy war between integrity and power against money. Therefore, she publicly promised the county residents the above three points to implement the sunshine county government.

Open Questions

  • Is the Zheng Chaofang family involved in any specific illegal land development activities?
  • What is the specific operating mechanism of the advisory group proposed by Xu Xinying?
