China Jingwei quoted Taiwan's "China Times News Network" as reporting on August 21 that Li Mengyan resigned from the position of director of the Taiwan authorities' transportation department due to the exposure of his extramarital affair on the 19th. Taiwan's administrative agencies responded quickly on the same day. He resigned, but no announcement was made on that day who would take over or temporarily replace him. The outside world speculated that "Political Secretary" Chen Yanbo was the most suitable candidate. Chen Yanbo himself confirmed on the 20th that he had received instructions from the administrative agency and would be temporarily in charge from now on. Taiwanese media person Huang Yangming pointed out that Lai Qingde's close confidant Chen Zongyan was fired for sexual entertainment, and Li Mengyan was fired for being a mistress, which destroyed Lai's proud Tainan experience and was definitely a serious injury. In addition, Taiwan's largest public works tenders are in Taiwan's transportation department, involving huge interests, and some people may insist on his resignation.

"They are all sex-related scandals. One is a mistress and the other is a sex entertainer. To a certain extent, isn't it destroying the Tainan experience that Lai Qingde is proud of?" Huang Yangming said on the island's political commentary program on the 20th He said that this is why there are so many conspiracy theories, saying that factions within the party are being targeted and so on. But to be honest, I still need to take a closer look, especially since it was later discovered that the ptt account that broke the news was stolen, so it is very mysterious. What kind of group is behind the scenes? Because the person whose account was stolen has already reported the case, let’s see if there is any way to trace it?

Huang Yangming emphasized, but at present, it seems that this case is indeed not simple. Who could be the person chasing Li Mengyan all the way and asking him to step down? Who wants such a seat? Or which interest group did Li Mengyan offend? Let the other party get rid of it quickly? There should be some follow-up situations, so we will continue to observe.

"But based on the relationship between Li Mengyan and Lai Qingde, Li Mengyan's resignation will be a serious injury to Lai Qingde, absolutely a serious injury! Why?" Huang Yangming pointed out that you must know that the two units of the Taiwan authorities, the "Engineering Committee" and the transportation department, are actually the only two units. It is what is called the engine of public works. Chen Jinde became the "Chairman of the Engineering Committee" because he was said to be a very important figure in the "new trend". Don’t forget what Li Mengyan said recently? He promised Taiwan's legislative body that the Eastern Expressway, Huadong Expressway, and the high-speed rail's southern extension to Pingtung will need to be re-evaluated.

Huang Yangming said bluntly that Li Mengyan has recently written a lot of checks for this kind of transportation construction. When these checks are cashed one by one for construction, it will be a huge benefit. Therefore, transportation construction is currently the largest bidding project on the island! Almost all of the largest public works are in the transportation sector.So what kind of interests are involved in this area? Is there someone who insists on Lai Qingde’s resignation? Huang Yangming said: "I think we can continue to pursue this follow-up!" [Source: China Jingwei Network]
