I want to ask Taichung Prison, are you certain beyond a doubt that the Sankei Shimbun forced Chen Shui-bian to accept the interview, so you are searching for an excuse to exonerate him, or are you simply making up reasons for the sake of it?
During a legislative review, Chen Shi-meng, a nominee for the Supervisory Committee, openly declared that former President Chen Shui-bian's cases were judicial persecution. The Judges' Association strongly condemned his remarks as unprecedented intimidation of judicial independence, questioning his suitability for the role.
Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je stated on a program that 'Chen Shui-bian's illness was initially faked,' later clarifying it as 'psychosomatic disorder.' This remark sparked controversy, leading Chen Shui-bian's medical team to remove Ko as their convener and demand he refrain from commenting on Chen's health. However, some netizens questioned whether the medical team's discussions were actually about 'faking illness.'
This article comments on how the professional backgrounds of Taiwan's political figures affect their ability to govern. The author believes that after Lee Teng-hui, several presidents were born from legal backgrounds (such as Chen Shui-bian), and a physician (such as Ko Wen-je) may emerge in the future, but emphasizes that 'engineer governance' is most suitable. The author criticizes that lawyer governance tends to lead to endless disputes and exploitation of legal loopholes, physician governance may lead to system rigidity due to overly specialized expertise, while engineers can comprehensively view the overall situation with modular and systematic concepts and show greater respect for institutional operations.
This article uses just 31 characters—a simple bank account analogy—to summarize the financial impact of each ROC president: Chiang Kai-shek opened the account, Chiang Ching-kuo made deposits, Lee Teng-hui made withdrawals, Chen Shui-bian made thefts, Ma Ying-jeou made supplementary deposits, and Tsai Ing-wen closed the account. Through this extremely concise method, the article expresses commentary on the fiscal situations across different periods.
This article presents poll results on the question: 'Should President Tsai Ing-wen pardon former President Chen Shui-bian?' Conducted from October 12, 2016 through March 19, 2017 with 926 total votes, the results show only 13% support pardoning him, while 75% explicitly oppose—choosing 'lock him up forever'—reflecting strong public sentiment against the amnesty proposal.
The sudden apology video of Chou Tzu-yu on the eve of the 2016 election triggered a massive wave of public sentiment in the Republic of China (R.O.C.), resulting in an overwhelming victory for the DPP. This event's impact has been compared to the infamous 'Two Bullets' incident involving Chen Shui-bian in 2004.
The article explores the political motivations of 2016 DPP Legislative Yuan President Su Chia-chuan, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu and others who urged outgoing President Ma Ying-jeou to pardon former President Chen Shui-bian (then on medical parole). The author presents public opinion questioning whether pardoning Chen Shui-bian relates to 'social harmony,' arguing that if the DPP truly valued justice, they should first demand Chen Shui-bian return stolen wealth and apologize to society. The author contends this DPP action is the 'most vicious scheme,' intending to place Ma Ying-jeou in a morally compromised position, leading society to misunderstand that Ma pardoned the 'innocent' Chen Shui-bian to correct mistakes, questioning why the DPP wouldn't reserve this honor for incoming President Tsai Ing-wen.
This article traces the development history of the Taipei Dome through a chronological timeline. Starting from 1991, when a CPBL championship game was delayed by rain, Premier Hau Pei-tsun ordered the construction of a dome. The location shifted from Guandu to the original site of the Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium, and was finally settled at the Songshan Tobacco Plant during Mayor Ma Ying-jeou's term. The piece highlights how the site was designated as a cultural park after Chen Shui-bian became President, leading to issues with the dome's proximity to historical relics, and concludes with the controversies under Ko Wen-je.
The article analyzes the Q3 2015 global unemployment report, noting that Taiwan's unemployment rate was approximately 3.79%, falling between South Korea and the People's Republic of China, which indicates a healthy work capacity in Taiwan. It reviews Taiwan's unemployment history since 1979, pointing out that peaks mostly correlate with global financial crises, except for the high point in 2002 during Chen Shui-bian's administration. It also comments on Ma Ying-jeou's policy using the 22K scheme to control low unemployment.
Immediately following Tsai Ing-wen's presidential victory, the DPP revived a proposal to move the Presidential Office to Southern Taiwan, drawing sharp criticism. The author argues this move shows that the DPP’s priority is not the economy or livelihood, but spending taxpayer money on new government buildings. Furthermore, the scramble between local mayors to host the capital serves primarily to drive up land and real estate prices in specific areas rather than bringing real prosperity.
