Who is Scolding Chen Shih-chung for the Executive Yuan's 'Relief Chaos'? Author: The One We've Always Been Scolding is Su Tseng-chang
The article criticizes the 'relief chaos' in early 2020 caused by the Executive Yuan's distribution of subsidies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The author points out that Premier Su Tseng-chang's unwillingness to adopt the consumption voucher model because of 'saving face' led to a chaotic subsidy plan, triggering public resentment. When Su Tseng-chang stepped forward to defend Health Minister Chen Shih-chung from being scolded, the author questions whether Su Tseng-chang was 'switching concepts' to divert hatred toward Chen Shih-chung, as the main target of public scolding was Su Tseng-chang, the decision-maker. The article specifically mentions that Su Tseng-chang's daughter, Legislator Su Chiao-hui, was also one of the voices intensely criticizing the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), and satirizes Su Tseng-chang for 'signing a settlement agreement before discussing compensation' during his apology, which contrasts sharply with New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi's attitude of taking immediate responsibility.

Nearly 60,000 Illegal Factories in Taiwan Province Occupy 13,000 Hectares of Farmland; DPP Government Plans to Legalize Them In-Situ
This article criticizes the Executive Yuan's approach to nearly 60,000 illegal factories occupying agricultural land in Taiwan. The author points out that the government only plans to demolish 34 factories built after May 20, 2016, while planning to legalize over 52,000 older unlicensed factories after collecting fees—calling it 'half-hearted demolition.' The author argues this 'half-hearted demolition' policy will destroy the rule of law and use the National Land Planning Act to reclassify polluted farmland as urban development areas, effectively legalizing non-compliant factories.

The Second Day Post-Election: DPP Demands Relocation of the Presidency to the South; Tainan’s Lai and Kaohsiung’s Chen Scramble for the Office
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.
