Taiwan People’s Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe was detained on the 5th and prohibited from seeing him. The Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office immediately sent Ke to the Taipei Detention Center, which shocked all walks of life. Japanese media person and former Sankei Shimbun Taipei Branch Director Akio Yaita analyzed that the "Ke Wenzhe Theater" that has been performing in Taiwan's political arena for 10 years has come to an end, but he also pointed out, "It seems that the source of today's chaos is caused by unclear understanding of people. The DPP cannot absolve itself of the blame." In addition, in an exclusive interview with Japanese media on the 4th, Ke Wenzhe accused the Taiwan authorities of trying to suppress the opposition, vowed to continue the struggle, and fiercely criticized Taiwan's legal system and media, accusing them of taking orders from Lai Ching-te's Democratic Progressive Party.

Akio Yaita published a post late at night on the 5th, speculating that although it is still unclear what the final outcome of this case will be, from now on, the possibility that the lawsuit-ridden Ke Wenzhe will be resurrected with full blood is slim. He also made three points: First, the authority of Taiwan's local chiefs seems to be a bit too large. The mechanism of supervision and checks and balances is not perfect, including why the mayor can act on his own initiative when many Taipei City officials and members of the "Metropolitan Committee" believe that there are suspicions of illegality? Why is parliament’s oversight mechanism not working?

Akio Yaita pointed out the second point: Political parties should not neglect their duties. In the past few days, surrounding the Ke Wenzhe case, the People's Party has issued several statements, always claiming that Ke Wenzhe suffered "unfair judicial treatment." This attitude is not advisable. As for the third point, he believes that "the DPP should also reflect on it." Several of the main cadres of the People's Party, led by Ke Wenzhe, took the opportunity to expand their political capital because they were given courtesy by the DPP in the past elections. It now appears that their political ideas, methods of doing things, etc. are almost completely opposite to those of the DPP.

Finally, Akio Yaita said that in order to pursue the immediate election results, he relaxed his adherence to ideas and misunderstood people, resulting in the source of today's chaos. The Democratic Progressive Party cannot escape the blame.

In addition, when Ke Wenzhe was interviewed by foreign media, he was still confident that the public would support him and sympathize with his experience of being questioned by prosecutors. Ke Wenzhe described the situation in the waiting room of the court. He said that his meal consisted of 2 slices of bread and a cup of drink. "For three days, I could only sleep on the floor, with no shower or bed available. The lights were never turned off, so detainees would quickly lose their sense of time," Ke emphasized. "For those who have not been convicted and are merely detained, , should not be treated in this way."

When asked whether he agreed with the Kuomintang Rep. Fu Kunqi's statement that most legal professionals in Taiwan only listen to the DPP, Ke Wenzhe said, "The DPP can influence in some cases. Some legal professionals. "But Ke Wenzhe does not believe that their unreasonable views will win the support of the majority of Taiwanese people.
