司法要改革 不能再等「某時地」
Judicial reform cannot wait for some vague “time and place”— it must happen here and now I. Introduction 各位關心柯文哲的朋友、各位媒體記者,大家晚安:
Good evening to all friends caring about Ko Wen-je, and to members of the media:   「司法是國家的最後一道防線,司法應該被人民信任,司法唯一的目的是維持社會的公平正義,司法不可以是政治工具、更不可以是執政者打擊反對黨的工具。
“Judiciary is the last line of defense of a nation. It should be trusted by the people. Its sole purpose is to maintain fairness and justice in society. It must not be a political manipulation tool, nor should it be used by those in power to suppress opposition parties. 司法應當遵守程序正義,司法應該以證據為基礎來辦案,司法不可以用編故事的方法來定罪。」
The judiciary must follow due process. Cases must be handled based on evidence. It must not rely on fabricated narratives to convict.” 這是3月3日,我前往法務部檢察官評鑑委員會,申請評鑑本案檢察官時說的話。這個司法案件並不是在追求事實真相,而是在為一個早已寫好的政治劇本善後而已。
These were the words I spoke on March 3 when I went to the Prosecutor Evaluation Committee of the Ministry of Justice to file a request for evaluating the prosecutors in this case. This trial is not about pursuing facts and truth—it is merely about filling in the final chapters of a political script that was already written in advance.   在這場審判中,證據法則被拋棄、證詞被選擇性採信、程序正義蕩然無存。我們看到的,這不是一個法治國家的審判,而是一場政治操作下的司法表演。
In this trial, the rules of evidence have been abandoned, testimonies have been selectively accepted, and procedural justice has completely collapsed. What we are seeing is not a trial in a country governed by the rule of law, but a judicial performance under political manipulation. 這個案子過程中有太多的政治介入,台灣司法社會信任度本來就不高,誠如本案審判長說的,台灣司法很脆弱,我回應:「老百姓面對國家機器,其實更脆弱」。經過這個案子,台灣司法更脆弱,社會信任度更低了。
There has been far too much political interference throughout this case. Public trust in Taiwan’s judiciary has never been high. As the presiding judge in this case said, Taiwan’s judiciary is very fragile. My response is: “Ordinary people facing the state apparatus are even more fragile.” With this case, Taiwan’s judiciary has become even more fragile, and public trust has declined further.

這場審判將會在台灣歷史留下紀錄,如果司法改革有起點,應該就是此時、此刻、此地、而不再是「某時地」。 This trial will be recorded in Taiwan’s history. If judicial reform has a starting point, it should be here and now—not some vague “time and place.” 「我沒有圖利、我沒有貪污、我非常坦蕩」 “I did not engage in illicit enrichment. I did not commit corruption. I am completely upright.” 用210萬我不知情的政治獻金是收賄、是前金後謝根本是抹黑、 是莫須有、是謀殺,想毀了一個柯文哲、想為執政黨掃除執政路障,但毀了一個柯文哲,還有千千萬萬的小草, Labeling 2.1 million TWD in political donations that I was unaware of as bribery, or a system of advance payments and kickbacks, is nothing but slander, a fabricated charge, and political murder. The goal is to destroy Ko Wen-je and remove any obstacles for the ruling party. Yet, even if you destroy one Ko Wen-je, thousands upon thousands of 'Little Grass' will remain. 我們必須阻止司法繼續沉淪敗壞、阻止司法變成政治工具、這場審判沒有結束、這是我要繼續努力的目標。We must stop the continued decline and corruption of the judiciary.We must prevent the judiciary from becoming a political tool. We will let President Lai know, this trial is not over—We will never compromise; we will never surrender!

政治獻金案,指控我侵佔民眾黨政治獻金600萬元,沒有存入民眾黨政治獻金專戶、挪用眾望基金會款項支付競辦員工薪資、政治獻金專戶交給會計師申報,行政上登載錯誤也被重刑起訴。但是沒有任何款項流於私用。 In the political donations case, I am accused of embezzling NT$6 million in party donations, failing to deposit funds into the designated party account, misusing funds from the Taiwan People's Service Foundation to pay campaign staff salaries. Even administrative reporting errors with the political donation accunt handled by accountants have been prosecuted with severe charges. However, not a single dollar was used for personal purposes. 這不是執法,這是政治清算。他們只需要創造一個政治上的罪名。This is not law enforcement—this is political reckoning. They only needed to construct a political crime. 整套劇本從監察院2023年的糾正文,成為民進黨在2024年大選的武器、結合內政部、地檢署、廉政署、鏡新聞,共同製造本案。The entire script began with a corrective report by the Control Yuan in 2023, which became a political weapon for the Democratic Progressive Party in the 2024 election, combined with the Ministry of the Interior, prosecutors offices, the Agency Against Corruption, and mnews to manufacture this case. 司法改革不能再等「某時地 」 IV. Judicial reform cannot wait for some vague“time and place” 程序正義,是法治的基石。沒有程序正義,就沒有實質正義。Procedural justice is the cornerstone of the rule of law. Without procedural justice, there is no substantive justice. 然而今天,我們看到的是: Yet today, what we see is: 有罪推定取代無罪推定, presumption of guilt replacing presumption of innocence, 羈押逼供取代實質證據, detention and coercion replacing substantive evidence, 政治立場凌駕程序正義, political positions overriding due process. 當檢察官可以違法而不受制約, When prosecutors can violate the law without restraint, 當法官不再堅守獨立審判, when judges no longer uphold independent adjudication, 崩壞的不是個案,而是整個國家的司法信任。 what collapses is not just a single case, but the public’s trust in the entire judicial system. 若檢察官的違法,不只是個別行為, 而是集團性的縱容與默許,那麼受傷的,將是最脆弱的人民。 If prosecutorial misconduct is not isolated but collectively tolerated, then those most harmed will be the most vulnerable people. 如果法官審理案情不是依據事實、獨立審判,而是尊重審級制度、是以被告在羈押下失去任意性的自白當作「證據」;那麼被告在被起訴的那一天,就已經失去了被公平審判的機會,整個司法面臨正當性的危機。 If judges do not base their rulings on facts and independent judgment, but instead rely on hierarchical judicial structures and treat confessions obtained under detention as “evidence,” then the moment a defendant is indicted, they have already lost the chance of a fair trial. The legitimacy of the entire judicial system is at risk. 如果一個國家可以用模糊的「某時地」將人定罪, If a country can convict someone based on a vague “some time and place,” 如果一個司法可以把政治獻金當作前金、推論出一定有後謝,不需要任何證據,就將人定罪 If a justice system can reclassify political donations as 'upfront bribes' and infer the existence of 'kickbacks' without a shred of evidence to secure a conviction 如果一個司法可以用扭曲的筆錄決定一個人的命運, if a judiciary can determine a person’s fate through distorted records, 那麼今天被犧牲的是柯文哲。明天,可能就是任何一個台灣人。then today it is Ko Wen-je who is sacrificed, and tomorrow, it could be any citizen of Taiwan. 「此時、此刻、台灣的司法」,已經成了「莫須有」的代名詞。 “At this time, at this moment, Taiwan’s judiciary” has become synonymous with “groundless accusation.” 這是台灣的危機。 This is Taiwan’s crisis. 司法可以犯錯,但不能失去良心。 The judiciary can make mistakes, but it must not lose its conscience. 國家機器可以有權力,但不能沒有界線。 The state may wield power, but it must not lack boundaries.

(四)事實是,彭振聲前副市長作為資深公務員,依法召開都委會、主持會議,讓所有人充分發言,討論出讓地主和台北市都能接受的「共識方案」;,他說:「柯文哲沒有對他下任何指示」,可是檢方卻說有「不同意見」就不該討論,討論出共識就叫「圖利」,所以他認罪。 (4) In fact, former Deputy Mayor Peng Chen-sheng, a senior civil servant, convened and chaired Urban Planning Commission meetings in accordance with the law, allowing full discussion and forming a “consensus plan” acceptable to both landowners and the Taipei City Government. He stated clearly: “Ko Wen-je gave no instructions.” Yet prosecutors argued that if there were differing opinions, the issue should not have been discussed—and that reaching consensus itself constitutes “illicit enrichment.” As a result, he pleaded guilty. 依法主持會議、形成共識,而且還是全程錄影錄音、上網公開的會議,卻被檢方認定為「圖利」。 A meeting conducted lawfully, fully recorded, and publicly available online is now deemed “illicit enrichment.” 以後要行政部門怎麼做事? How, then, is the administrative branch supposed to function in the future? (五)事實是,檢方的起訴書前言不對後語,起訴後、審理期間還不斷提出「補充理由書」,檢察官是沒有證據、先把人關起來、再找證據。檢察官從被扣押的手機、電腦裡找資料,「先射箭再畫靶」,編故事 羅織罪名,對被告、證人和他們的家屬製造不斷追殺的恐懼,逼迫家屬跳樓自殺。 (5) In fact, the prosecution’s indictment is internally inconsistent. Even after filing charges and during trial, prosecutors continued to submit “supplementary arguments.” They detained individuals first and then searched for evidence. They combed through seized phones and computers — “shooting the arrow first, then drawing the target.” They fabricated narratives and constructed charges, creating constant fear for defendants, witnesses, and their families, and even driving some family members to jump from buildings. (六)事實是,檢察官為了逼供沈慶京,以「視察」名義前往醫院訊問,東窗事發後還由北檢發假新聞說是視察。 (6) In fact, in order to extract a confession from Shen Ching-ching, prosecutors went to the hospital under the pretense of an “inspection” to conduct an interrogation. After the matter was exposed, the Taipei District Prosecutors Office even issued false news claiming it was an inspection. 是視察,就不要訊問;是訊問,就該錄影錄音,讓律師在場。 If it was an inspection, then there should have been no interrogation. If it was an interrogation, it should have been recorded with audio and video, and lawyers should have been present. 北檢更在訊問過程中,恐嚇沈慶京要抽銀根,要羈押,只是要沈慶京咬柯文哲。 During the interrogation, prosecutors also threatened Shen Ching-ching with financial pressure and detention, simply to force him to implicate Ko Wen-je. 程序不正義、偵查亂公開、有罪推定,法官幾乎不問問題,順著檢方虛構的故事審理。 There has been procedural injustice, arbitrary disclosure of investigations, presumption of guilt, and judges who rarely question the prosecution’s narrative, instead following a fabricated storyline. 用虛構的1500萬定不了柯文哲的罪,就用捐給台灣民眾黨的210萬判我貪汙,用朱亞虎莫名其妙的認罪定我的罪,李文宗過去被說成是收賄的白手套,結果無罪。證據呢?我就挑明了說,這不只是政治判案、這就是政治辦案! Since the fake 15 million TWD failed to pin anything on Ko Wen-je, they twisted the 2.1 million in political donations to the TPP into a corruption charge against me. They relied on Chu Ya-hu’s bizarre plea to secure my conviction. Meanwhile, Li Wen-tsung, who was branded the middleman for bribery, was found not guilty. Where is the proof? Let me be clear: this isn't just a politically motivated ruling—this is a politically motivated investigation. 作為獨立行使職權的都市計畫委員會,如果檢察官對審議結果不滿意,怎麼會是關押完全沒有參與的市長? The Urban Planning Commission is an independent body exercising its authority. If prosecutors were dissatisfied with its decisions, why is the mayor—who did not participate—being detained?

司法摧毀了公務體系 III. The judiciary has destroyed the civil service system 但這場審判,最令人痛心的,不只是我個人受苦,而是整個公務體系被摧毀。 What is most painful about this trial is not just my personal suffering, but the destruction of the entire civil service system. (一)事實是,前都發局局長黃景茂被列為圖利罪共犯,檢方起訴求刑7年、併科罰金1000萬元,他堅持無罪答辯,因為都發局只做形式審查,真正的審議權在獨立機關都委會,他不但沒有參與審議而且早就離職。 (1) In fact, Huang Ching-mao, former Commissioner of the Department of Urban Development, was listed as a co-defendant for alleged illicit enrichment. Prosecutors sought a seven-year sentence and a fine of NT$10 million. He insisted on pleading not guilty, because the Department only conducts formal reviews, while the actual authority lies with the independent Urban Planning Commission. He neither participated in deliberations nor was he even in office at the time. 但當他一再表示自己不認為送研議違法,卻被檢察官一再威脅,威脅不成竟竄改筆錄,把黃景茂說「我不認為我有違法」改成「我知道違法仍然推進去」,北檢是偽造筆錄。竟然因為他不合作認罪,判他六年重刑。 Yet when he repeatedly stated that he did not believe submitting the case for review was illegal, prosecutors repeatedly threatened him. When threats failed, they altered the interrogation record, changing his statement from “I do not believe I broke the law” to “I knew it was illegal but proceeded anyway.” This is fabrication of records by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office. They handed him a severe six-year sentence purely as a penalty for his refusal to cooperate or admit to the charges. He was actually sentenced to a severe six years, simply because he refused to cooperate and plead guilty 一位依法行政的局長,被威脅、被威脅不成就竄改筆錄。 A commissioner who followed the law was threatened, and when threats failed, his record was falsified. 從「不認為違法」,變成「明知違法仍推動」。 From “not believing it was illegal” to “knowingly proceeding despite illegality.” 這不是偵查,這是逼供。 This is not investigation—this is coercion. (二)李文宗從來沒有參加過京華城案,當時他根本不在台北市政府、也從來沒有當過民眾黨的財務主管,卻因為威京集團捐了210萬的政治獻金之後,他收到朱亞虎邀功簡訊,就被關了11個月。 (2) Li Wen-tsung had never participated in the Core Pacific City project. At the time, he was not even working in the Taipei City Government, nor had he ever served as the party’s financial officer. Yet after the Core Pacific Group donated NT$2.1 million in political contributions, and he received a text message from Chu Ya-hu claiming credit, he was detained for 11 months. 一個與京華城無關的人,只是因為他是柯文哲競選總統時的財務長,就被羈押11個月。 A person unrelated to the case was detained for 11 months simply because he served as Ko Wen-je’s campaign treasurer. 這不是司法,這是冤獄。 This is not justice—this is wrongful imprisonment.​ (三)事實是,邵琇珮是大家公認的優秀公務員,她有都市計畫專業、認真工作。 (3) In fact, Shao Hsiu-pei is widely recognized as an outstanding civil servant with professional expertise in urban planning. She worked diligently. 她不認為自己提出「都市計畫法第24條」讓京華城透過細部計畫向都委會申請容積獎勵有任何違法之處,但她卻向檢方認罪,因為他「思慮不周」。思慮不周就有罪 She did not believe that invoking Article 24 of the Urban Planning Act to allow Core Pacific City to apply for floor area bonuses through a detailed plan was illegal. Yet she pleaded guilty because she said she had “insufficient consideration.” “Insufficient consideration” becomes a crime. 這是不堪壓迫、被迫認罪。 This is a confession extracted under pressure. 一位專業、守法的公務員,只因依法提出都市計畫,最後被迫認罪。 A professional, law-abiding civil servant, simply for acting in accordance with urban planning law, was ultimately forced to plead guilty. 這是在摧毀公務員的專業、扭曲行政裁量權。 This is the destruction of professional integrity in the civil service and a distortion of administrative discretion.

毒樹毒果、騙票搜索:
II. Fruit of the poisonous tree – search warrants obtained by deception:  一年前,北檢與廉政署兵分五十多路來到我家和我的辦公室、甚至台灣民眾黨中央黨部,搜索理由是甚麼?
One year ago, the Taipei District Prosecutors Office and the Agency Against Corruption dispatched more than fifty teams to search my home, my office, and even the headquarters of the Taiwan People’s Party. What was the reason for these searches? 他們說,我們購買商辦的錢是沈慶京的賄款
They said that the funds we used to purchase a commercial property were bribes from Shen Ching-ching. 他們說京華城的容積率審議沒有法源基礎
They said that the floor area ratio review for Core Pacific City had no legal basis. 他們指控我家有不明財產與金流。
They accused me of possessing unexplained assets and financial flows. 最後,竟然用捐給台灣民眾黨的210萬,我不知道的政治獻金,判我13年貪汙重刑。 In the end, they actually used a 2.1 million TWD political donation to the Taiwan People's Party—a donation I wasn't even aware of—to sentence me to 13 years of heavy prison time for corruption.  這個案子從頭到尾都在構陷,承辦檢察官明知京華城容積獎勵屬行政裁量範圍,卻故意曲解法令、隱匿有利證據,不查證金流,以不實內容向法院聲請搜索票,這是「騙票搜索」。
This entire case has been a setup from start to finish. But the truth is that the prosecutors handling the case clearly knew that the floor area ratio bonus for Core Pacific City fell within the scope of administrative discretion. Yet they deliberately misinterpreted the law, concealed evidence favorable to me, and failed to verify financial flows, while submitting false claims to the court to obtain search warrants. This is what I call “search warrants obtained by deception.” 我不會圖利 ,更不會貪污,執政當局的司法單位必須說明他們搜索的理由和證據,但他們從來不說明,只是透過各種媒體放話、未審先判、押人逼供、不正訊問,來建構這個虛假的案情,把柯文哲打成貪汙犯、把台北市政府合法程序打成非法。
I did not engage in illicit benefit, nor did I commit corruption. The judicial authorities must explain the reasons and evidence for their searches, yet they have never done so. Instead, they have used media leaks, premature judgment, detention to extract confessions, and improper interrogations to construct a false case narrative, portraying Ko Wen-je as corrupt and turning lawful procedures of the Taipei City Government into alleged illegality. 我要再說一次:「我沒有圖利、沒有貪汙,我非常坦蕩。」Let me say this again: “I did not engage in illicit enrichment. I did not commit corruption. I am completely upright.” 到現在為止,經過這麼多審訊,沒有任何一個公務員、沒有任何一個都市計劃委員會的委員說我有指示;說我有參與京華城容積率的決定;動用國家機器調查超過一年也沒有不法金流。(面對媒體鋪天蓋地的抹黑造謠,如果沒有被關這一年,還不知道怎麼證明我的清白。)
Up to this point, after so many interrogations, not a single civil servant nor any member of the Urban Planning Commission has said that I gave instructions, or that I participated in decisions regarding the floor area ratio of Core Pacific City. Even after more than a year of investigation using the power of the state, no illicit financial flows have been found. In the face of overwhelming media smears and false accusations, had I not been detained for this past year, I would not even know how to prove my innocence.

昨日,台灣民眾黨召開臨時中央委員會,最重要的是我個人要請辭黨主席,因為我不可以讓這個冗長的司法程序,模糊焦點、干擾整個民眾黨的發展。畢竟民眾黨,現在是臺灣重要的政治力量,我絕對不會因為我個人的因素,讓台灣民眾黨的 受到阻礙,甚至去干擾整個臺灣的民主政治發展。我對台灣民眾黨有責任,所以我正式向中央委員會請辭。我雖然辭去黨主席,但我還是民眾黨的終身黨員、 終身志工。 人在遇到困境,有時候會充滿仇恨,特別是我父親前陣子狀況不好的時候,有一陣子,我是真的很氣。但我最後還是能夠做到「心存善念、盡力而為」。我沒有放棄,也拜託大家不要放棄。特別是支持者們,請大家繼續支持台灣民眾黨,特別是支持柯文哲的人,更要支持臺灣民眾黨! 更重要的是,請大家跟我一樣,心存善念、盡力而為。相信正面的力量,才能夠讓台灣更好。 Yesterday, the Taiwan People's Party held an extraordinary Central Committee meeting, during which I officially tendered my resignation as party chairman. The TPP is now a crucial political force in Taiwan, and I cannot allow this lengthy judicial process to divert attention from or obstruct the development of the Taiwan People’s Party, nor hinder Taiwan’s cherished democracy. I hold a deep sense of responsibility for the TPP, which is why I have formally submitted my resignation. Although I am stepping down as chairman, I will remain a lifelong member and volunteer of the Taiwan People’s Party. In times of adversity, it is easy to be consumed by rage—especially during difficult moments, like when my father was unwell recently. There was a period when I felt deep frustration. However, I have managed to uphold the principle of “staying kind and doing my best.” I have not given up, and I ask everyone not to give up either. To all our supporters, I urge you to continue supporting the Taiwan People's Party. Those who support me, Ko Wen-je, must also support the Taiwan People's Party! Most importantly, I hope everyone will join me in staying kind and doing their best. Believe in the power of positivity—it is the key to making Taiwan better.

私たち皆、この世界がもっと若い世代の理想に沿うものになり、若者が夢を追いやすい環境になることを願っています。自民党青年局長の #鈴木貴子 様と、彼女が率いる70名の訪問団からなる自民党海外研修団の皆様と意見交換ができて大変嬉しかったです。 台湾の若者たちの未来の発展は国際情勢と密接に関係しており、日本の若者たちもまた、未来の世界のために頑張っています。鈴木貴子衆議院議員から、日本の47都道府県すべてに学生部を設置し、自民党の政策目標を若者に寄り添ったものにしたいというお話がありました。こうした理念は、台湾民衆党とも一致するものです。私たちは常に努力を続け、若者から最初に支持される政党となることを目指しています。 @TPP_Taiwan 台湾民衆党の支持者の多くは若者であり、彼らは国民党と民進党の対立から脱却し、これまでとは異なる未来を切望しています。現段階では、民衆党は挫折や課題に直面していますが、それでも多くの若者から支持と励ましをいただいています。わずか29歳の新北市党部主委の陳世軒は、自民党青年局の訪問団に対し、民衆党では若者が活躍できる機会が多く、彼らの意見は直接党の中央に伝えられると述べました。私たちは若者の声に耳を傾け、どのようにすれば若者にとってより良い環境を提供できるかを考えます。これが他の二大政党との最大の違いです。 国会議員や学生で構成される訪問団からは、若者の投票率向上や台湾の若者による社会運動の現状など、さまざまな質問がありました。今回、多くの日本の若者と意見交換する機会を得られたことを大変嬉しく思います。今後も、日台の若者が未来に向かって勇敢に進んでいけるような、より良い環境を共に創造していくことを期待しています。

Last Saturday, the Taiwan People's Party celebrated its 5th anniversary. I believe that political activities don't have to be noisy gatherings with people sitting in the audience listening to fantastical stories from those on stage. Politics can be joyful and fun. Therefore, for this anniversary celebration, we set up various booths, including darts, archery, photo booths, egg cake baking, charity massages, and more, inviting families to come and enjoy a lively experience together. Our party officials also divided into two teams for fun sports competitions, including soccer, basketball, and running. Everyone was very serious and wholeheartedly participated in each event, filling the scene with laughter. Winning or losing wasn't the main focus; what mattered was that everyone united to achieve a common goal. Happy 5th birthday to the Taiwan People's Party! We hope Taiwan becomes a better place because of our efforts. Thank you to all the participants, both in-person and online. It's wonderful to have you with us!

日本の国会「人権外交を超党派で考える議員連盟」の皆様に、@台湾民眾党 との意見交換にお越しいただき、誠にありがとうございます。私と民眾党の立法委員である@黄珊珊氏、@吳春城氏は議員の皆様と外交・防衛政策から少子化問題まで、幅広いテーマについて意見交換を行いました。皆様からも@台湾民眾党 が少数政党でありながらも、どのように影響力を発揮するかについて関心を持っていました。 私は「国民党と民進党の意見が対立した際にのみ、民眾党はキーパーソンになり得ます。そうでなければ、単なる少数派に過ぎない」と申し上げました。今後、重要な議題に対して、事前にこちらから積極的に発信し、民眾党の主導性と主体性をより一層強化していく必要があると考えています。私達は与野党が感情的な対立ではなく、理性的に法案を議論し、「国民にとって何が最善なのか」を常に追求することを期待しています。 議員の皆様からは、昨年日本の出生数が70万人未満でしたが、40年前には年間150万人もの新生児が生まれていたというお話がありました。この40年間で半分以上減少したということになります。台湾も少子化の危機に直面していますが、どうすれば良いのでしょうか。低賃金と高い住宅価格が若者の出生意欲を低下させているだけでなく、文化の変化により新しい世代は必ずしも家庭を持つことが絶対的な価値観ではなくなってきています。労働力不足を改善するために、#ストロングジェネレーション政策が極めて重要になります。現在、台湾では65歳以上のストロングジェネレーションと呼ばれる方々の多くは健康状態が良好です。もし彼らが働き続けたいと考えるのであれば、政府は退職を強制すべきではなく、職場環境も彼らにとって働きにくいものであってはなりません。ストロングジェネレーションの労働力と消費力を最大限に活かせるような社会を構築し、時代遅れの規制で制限するものではありません。議員の皆様も民眾党のストロングジェネレーション関連政策を参考にしたいと述べました。 先日、アメリアから帰国した黄珊珊氏は、今回の訪米で得た知見を共有してくれました。民眾党は#抑止と#対話という二つの原則を強く主張しています。台湾の防衛力を強化することを支持すると同時に、中国との間で友好的な対話を継続し、偶発的な衝突を回避すべきであるというのが私たちの考えです。 日本超党派議員の皆様のご来訪に感謝いたします。私たちは、今後も地域の平和と安定に向けて、積極的に貢献していきます。そして、台湾に対する日本の揺るぎない支持に、心よりお礼申し上げます。

Gods bless Taiwan. Let us all join in prayer, hoping that everyone can safely weather the storm. Typhoon Gaemi has brought torrential rains and severe damage to Taiwan, with reports of children trapped at campsites, flooding in Kaohsiung washing away motorcycles, and other significant disasters. My heart is filled with anxiety and sorrow. The news footage shows not only the devastation but also the unwavering dedication of police, firefighters, medical staff, local leaders, and public servants who are braving the storm to provide relief. To them, I extend my deepest respect and gratitude. The Taiwan People's Party chapters across various counties and cities will also offer their assistance, striving together to minimize the damage. In this time of crisis, disaster response transcends party borders. Let us all pray for Taiwan.

The Constitutional Court has granted the temporary injunction, which had been coordinated by President Lai Ching-te with the Office of the President, the Executive Yuan, the Control Yuan, and the Legislative Yuan. The injunction is tantamount to a direct challenge to parliamentary reform and raises concerns about the future of Taiwan's democracy. The Taiwan People's Party @TPP_Taiwan has utilized its position as a key minority to help the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) achieve its long-held ideals for parliamentary reform. Yet, the DPP has chosen to vehemently oppose legislation that enjoys broad public support. For a long time, the Taiwanese public has harbored deep mistrust towards the judiciary. The recent Constitutional Court's process, from the acceptance of the application to the hearing procedures and the near-total suspension of the outcomes of parliamentary reform, took only 22 days. The process was fraught with controversy, including disagreement about the admissibility of the motion, the disproportionate number of lawyers on both sides, and ultimately, a ruling that runs counter to Taiwan’s democratic reform. Prior to the announcement of the Constitutional Court’s decision, a DPP spokesperson predicted that the Constitutional Court would make a ruling before the end of the day, clearly indicating a close alignment between the Court and the DPP. This has turned the Court into a political tool of the ruling party, eroding its neutrality and independence, and further diminishing public trust in the judiciary. The ruling party's interference in the judiciary, including the Constitutional Court, is blatant and astonishing. If President Lai Ching-te continues to oppose public opinion with his own ideological stance, the future of Taiwan's democracy is at serious risk. The Taiwan People's Party will continue to uphold its commitment to integrity, diligence, and love for the people and the homeland. We will persist in doing what is right, forging ahead without hesitation. This, I believe, is what Taiwan truly needs.

Just had an wonderful time at the Taiwan People's Party "Overseas Student Summer Networking Party!" Over 50 bright minds, including current and future international students, joined us. Big thanks to Legislator @KCHuang1973 and councilors Huang Jing-ying and Jimmy Chen, who also came as well! Excited to announce our upcoming Overseas Student Ambassador Program to connect international talent and bring fresh perspectives back to Taiwan! A returning overseas student reminded everyone to "make sure to bring a Tatung rice cooker" when going abroad, which is a very practical piece of advice.

Snapped a selfie with #AIT Director Sandra Oudkirk last night at the American Independence Day Celebration! 😆 Though taking selfies isn’t my strongest suit, I still managed to capture her radiant smile in a simple snapshot and cement it as an everlasting memory. Director Oudkirk, I want to thank you for all your endeavors to strengthen the relationship between the #US and #Taiwan, especially in fostering trade and economic ties and ensuring regional stability. I wish you all the best, and remember, our door is always open—we look forward to joyful reunions.

The Legislative Yuan has rejected the Executive Yuan's request for reconsideration regarding the legislative reform bill. We call on President Lai Ching-te to immediately promulgate and implement this act. In championing legislative reform, eight Taiwan People's Party (TPP) legislators have faced attacks head-on, diligently dispelling rumors and clarifying the benefits of the reform. They have emphasized that the reform will fully empower the Legislative Yuan's oversight, checks and balances, and investigative functions. This will curb the executive branch's dominance, effectively combat corruption, and genuinely protect public rights. Public opinion is clear, with nearly 60% supporting the reform according to multiple polls. TPP will continue to advocate for judicial reform and government revenue and expenditure allocation reforms. We are committed to achieving the reforms that the Democratic Progressive Party has promised but failed to deliver.

Given the adverse impact of Taiwan’s declining birth rates, it is crucial to assess whether Taiwan has sufficient defense capabilities. Increasing the defense budget to 3% of GDP and accelerating the transformation towards scientific, digital, and unmanned systems to create a modernized combat force will contribute to Taiwan’s mission of being resilient in defense. Many thanks to Lt. Gen. Steven Rudder and president @RJHCUSTBC for leading a delegation of defense industry representatives to meet with us today. It is a testament to our shared commitment to maintaining peace, stability, freedom, and openness in the Indo-Pacific region.
