As Taiwan’s elections count down, green camp scandals have been exposed one after another.
According to a report from Taiwan's United News Network on the 3rd, Kuomintang's non-district "legislator" candidate Xie Longjie and former "legislator" Qiu Yi questioned DPP candidate Lai Qingde's illegitimate child. Xie Longjie said in a live broadcast on the 2nd that Dong Niantai, the president of the "Reincarcerated Prisoners Center", accused Lai Qingde of having an illegitimate child in 2015, saying that Lai remitted NT$120,000 to the other party every month, but Lai Qingde did not file any complaint. Xie Longjie said that when he was a Tainan City Councilor, he also questioned Lai Qingde about this matter, and Lai only said that "this has nothing to do with the municipal government." Lai Qingde's campaign headquarters argued that this was completely false and "malicious slander" and had hired a lawyer to file a lawsuit.
In addition, Luo Zhizheng, the New Taipei City "legislator" candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, has been involved in the suspicion of private videos. Some Taiwanese media reported on the 2nd that a private video suspected of being taken by Luo Chi-cheng was leaked. Luo Zhizheng issued a statement, calling the video a "deep fake." On the 3rd, when he was campaigning with his wife in front of the campaign headquarters, he claimed that the matter was an attempt to influence the election. When Lai Qingde was asked about this matter, he also attributed the above-mentioned rumors and videos to the so-called mainland "interference in the election."
In response to this, the media editor-in-chief Can Meifeng who reported on Luo Zhizheng's private video issued a statement saying that the media had checked all the videos, which contained a complete frontal image of Luo Zhizheng, as well as conversations, and confirmed that the detailed physical signs were consistent, such as " As a technique to shift the focus of "deep fake", Luo Zhizheng should conduct a comprehensive test together with the whole people and conduct public criticism. She denied that any force was involved in the matter, criticizing the common problems of green camp politicians when encountering crises, which are to shirk blame, blame, and shift the focus. They are unable to face problems and cannot clarify, and they must eventually be examined for the truth. According to Taiwan media reports, Luo Zhizheng has a criminal record. In July 2017, it was revealed that he went to a motel with Tie Peiying, the then deputy director of the office. Luo Zhizheng later stated that he had fully explained the incident to his family and received their understanding.
Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, responded on the 4th that attacking and smearing the mainland is a common tactic of the Democratic Progressive Party in elections. An election is a concentrated examination of political parties and candidates. Those questioned should prove their innocence or admit their mistakes. He said that many politicians in the Democratic Progressive Party have no moral integrity and are dishonest in their words and deeds. Once they are exposed for corruption, corruption, etc., they frame the blame and attempt to cover up their scandals and shift the focus by spreading rumors and hyping up mainland China's "introduction to elections." Such "tricks" and bad tricks are used too often, which will only make the world laugh and fail to deceive the Taiwanese people. (Chen Lifei) ▲
