[00:00:00] 30th, may I ask
[00:00:03] why it wasn't asked? You clearly knew the test exceeded the standard. What you are watching now
[00:00:07] is Central City News Channel.
[00:00:19] Commissioner Xu Jiaqing was reported to have spent millions of public funds on a 26-day trip abroad, but he said the details
[00:00:22] were confidential. However, it was discovered that he went to eat desserts and watch
[00:00:26] movies. Now it's rumored that Xu Jiaqing
[00:00:30] even indulged in pulling strings to allow his son to participate in a Dongsha
[00:00:34] Island experience activity. Dongsha Island is a military
[00:00:37] restricted area. Ordinary people, even with money, cannot enter or exit freely. So, originally, this
[00:00:41] Dongsha ecological experience camp, the Coast Guard Administration had very strict
[00:00:45] restrictions. First, it must be a national and only open
[00:00:49] to university students and teachers. At that time, Xu Jiaqing's son wanted
[00:00:53] to participate, but he did not meet the qualifications. Later, Xu Jiaqing directly
[00:00:57] let this Overseas Community Affairs Council and the Coast Guard Administration jointly organize something called…
[00:06:12] there for a long time, allowing Tsai Ing-wen to speak out? The result
[00:06:16] is, this KMT, this has nothing to do with me, I'm
[00:06:20] an observer. Someone in the KMT couldn't help but reveal
[00:06:24] this matter in advance. There's still about a year until the election.
[00:06:27] They revealed it, and Tsai Ing-wen responded.
[00:06:30] That is, Tsai Ing-wen was previously
[00:06:34] a civil servant, right?
[00:06:36] Tsai Ing-wen
[00:06:39] is receiving 18%. Criticizing
[00:06:42] 18%? Tsai Ing-wen is 18% of Tsai Ing-wen. He has a sum of money deposited in Taiwan at 18%. He can receive 62,829 every month. 62,829. I even remember this number. So Tsai Ing-wen receives 18% and criticizes 18%. Of course, this is something the KMT had prepared to attack before the election. But it was revealed in advance. The spokesperson at that time was this, this Xu.
[00:09:24] As for the money Xu Jiaqing spent abroad, the Commissioner General of the Overseas Community Affairs Council's travel expenses abroad and so
[00:09:28] on, I ask the KMT, I ask President Han if he will give it to him
[00:09:31] ?
[00:09:38] If you didn't say anything, I wouldn't know. I didn't know Xu Jiaqing's
[00:09:42] go and be the Commissioner General of the Overseas Community Affairs Council then. trips abroad were so frequent. In the past five
[00:09:45] years, he has been abroad one day out of every three.
[00:09:55] One day out of every three, and the money he spends abroad is all our money.
[00:09:59] I really don't think that the work of the Overseas Community Affairs Council
[00:10:03] ... I was watching that day everyone was counting these
[00:10:06] years. Before, our Republic of China's National Day. We
[00:10:10] have people all over the world.
[00:10:25] Participating. And now, how many thousands of people are left? It's not
[00:10:29] that I'm saying we should abandon the work of the Overseas Community Affairs Council, but I believe that Xu Jiaqing,
[00:10:32] in his position, is essentially taking advantage of it. My dear viewers, don't forget
[00:10:36] that he is from the DPP, right? May I ask which faction he belongs to? He is from the
[00:10:40] New Tide faction. Do you think that with Xu Jiaqing's
[00:10:44] ideology and political stance, he would do a better job as the Commissioner General of the Overseas Community Affairs Council
[00:10:48] than me? So what's the point of him being in that position
[00:10:51] ? He's abroad one day out of every three, and it's all my money.
[00:11:25] He simply does not comply, does not execute, does not recognize his appointment. If he
[00:11:29] defies you like this, is it still reasonable for you to pass his central government's
[00:11:33] budget? My point is that I naturally know that President Han is in
[00:11:37] a very difficult position.
[00:11:38] However,
[00:11:42] my request is not excessive. I only hope that Xu
[00:11:45] Jiaqing clarifies his controversies before
[00:11:49] becoming the head of the Overseas Community Affairs Council. I don't want that either. So tell me, in the past five years, you've
[00:11:53] been abroad one day out of every three. What exactly have you done? I also
[00:11:57] don't think that our current overseas Chinese affairs work is like back then, when we were planning to
[00:12:01] retake the mainland. Our overseas Chinese affairs work for all
[00:12:04] overseas Chinese around the world, I believe, has been
[00:12:08] abandoned. And now you let a political figure from the New Tide faction of the DPP
[00:12:11] live so well, and then when people question him, he says, "I won't
[00:12:15] respond to non-legislators." I think Xu Jiaqing, you should
[00:12:19] ... Everyone remembers two weeks ago, he came out and criticized Chiang Wan-an. I think this
[00:12:23] is actually not
[00:14:25] normal. It should be that I believe Xu Jiaxing
[00:14:29] abused his authority as the chairman of the Overseas Community Affairs Council, and he traveled abroad so frequently. I
[00:14:33] believe this is actually a complete disrespect to the job, and he isn't even appointed.
[00:14:36] Look at his recent attitude in responding. It's very much like
[00:14:40] him. That is, the Xu Jiaxing I knew
[00:14:44] 20 years ago. He still seems to be a Taipei City Councilor. But you
[00:14:47] are now a senior official in the Executive Yuan. And you've been
[00:14:51] reported with so many controversies. Everyone remembers this, this, this.
[00:16:38] Xu Jiaqing, the Overseas Community Affairs Council, including the Ministry of Health and Welfare's
[00:16:41] food safety budget, tomorrow, because I just watched
[00:16:45] this news, does everyone know
[00:16:48] Tongshan? That
[00:16:51] is, the budget for each ministry is 318%, 2%. Everyone has a unified
[00:16:55] fixed quota. That's the bad habit left by President Wang Jin-pyng back then. What
[00:16:59] does "Tongshan" mean, as the two legislators are saying? It means
[00:17:03] my budget actually hasn't been cut. In the end, it's a fixed 2% cut,
[00:17:07] fixed.
[00:18:08] Everyone knows very well that the current Control Yuan has become the DPP's
[00:18:12] retirement home and escort center. It has long protected the DPP's
[00:18:16] many cases of corruption. But even such a completely green-ified
[00:18:19] Control Yuan, after a year of investigation, still had no choice
[00:18:23] but to fine Xu Jiaqing,
[00:18:27] formally ruling that he violated
[00:18:31] the Public Official Conflicts of Interest Avoidance Act, with a fine of 100,000 to
[00:18:34] 2 million. What does this mean? Xu Jiaqing
[00:18:38] abused his authority, illegally opened a back door, allowing his
[00:18:42] son, who was not an overseas compatriot student, to ascend to the island. The evidence
[00:18:45] is extremely conclusive. His disgraceful behavior is extremely
[00:18:49] ugly. Even the Control Yuan members of the green camp were unable
[00:18:53] to cover for him and say that no illegal acts were found.
[00:18:55] This
[00:19:01] is a special privilege scandal that even the Control Yuan couldn't
[00:19:05] ignore. Even the DPP's
[00:19:09] tame and toothless tiger, the Control Yuan, had no choice but to impose a penalty.
[00:19:12] So it's clear just how bad he is. And yet, since
[00:19:16] this was revealed, he still put on an act, saying, "I won't respond
[00:19:20] to non-legislators." What kind of attitude is this? It's the most
[00:19:23] typical power arrogance. Who pays the salaries of the Overseas Community Affairs Council?
[00:19:27] The people. Who pays the salaries of the heads of government? The people. Who bears
[00:19:31] the consequences of the government's wrong decisions? Still the people.
[00:19:34] As a result, the people, the media, and civil society groups raised questions,
[00:19:38] only to receive the response, "You're not a legislator." Please,
[00:19:42] taxpayers don't have to be elected as legislators to be
[00:19:45] qualified to ask how their money is spent. On August
[00:19:49] 4th, Xu Jiaqing publicly emphasized that when he served as a Taipei City Councilor,
[00:19:53] he strongly believed that public representatives supervising administrative agencies
[00:19:57] and requesting information was a matter of course. At that time, he wanted to speak up for Jian Shu-pei.
[00:20:01] So, I ask, Councilor Xu Jiaqing believed
[00:20:04] that supervision was a matter of course, but why now, when he, Chairman Xu
[00:20:08] Jiaqing, is himself questioned, does he start to scrutinize
[00:20:12] the work and politics of those who question him, saying he won't respond to non-legislators?
[00:20:15] This in itself is an extremely disgraceful
[00:20:19] face and double standard. And Dongsha Island, being in the geopolitical
[00:20:22] hotspot of the South China Sea, is a legally defined
[00:20:26] strategic stronghold, not an ordinary tourist resort, right?
[00:20:30] The Coast Guard Administration previously set strict
[00:20:34] thresholds for eligibility to land on the island. You must be a national, and also
[00:20:43] you must have a clause to protect your life, and even after you go up, you can't use your mobile phone. Your photos and everything are subject to strict restrictions. The core purpose is to
[00:20:46] protect national security and discipline. Isn't this what the DPP
[00:20:50] often says? So we need to ask a few very simple
[00:20:54] questions. Was the previous process for landing on the island
[00:20:57] more stringent in its review? Yes.
[00:21:01] So, was this 2025
[00:21:04] "Qiao Qing Di" program relaxed?
[00:21:07] Yes, those under 18 with parental
[00:21:11] consent could also sign up. Previously, you had to be over 18. But this time, because Xu Jiaqing's
[00:21:15] son was under 18, it was relaxed to include those
[00:21:19] under 18 with legal guardian consent. They could
[00:21:23] also sign up. And after his son participated
[00:21:27] in this "Qiao Qing Di" program, it wasn't held again
[00:21:30] this year. It's just that coincidental. It wasn't held before,
[00:21:34] but in 2025, one session was held, and then none in 2026.
[00:21:37] So, if this isn't, this may
[00:21:41] not necessarily be tailor-made for your son, but at least
[00:21:45] you didn't avoid conflicts of interest. You didn't feel that this matter
[00:21:49] was related to...
[00:22:18] Because the Commissioner General's selfishness caused unknowing civil servants to endure endless torment. This is the most cold-blooded trampling
[00:22:22] of Taiwan's good civil service system. Xu Jiaqing
[00:22:25] must have known. He certainly knew his child signed up to participate.
[00:22:29] Why? Because it also required the consent of a legal guardian. Xu
[00:22:33] Jiaqing, in order to let his beloved son participate, whether he secretly
[00:22:37] pressured the bureaucratic system or concealed his identity.
[00:22:41] Finally, when the Dongsha incident was revealed and the Control Yuan opened an investigation, he didn't think
[00:22:45] about taking responsibility himself, resigning, or
[00:22:48] apologizing.
[00:23:06] This is a case of a cowardly and greedy general who works his troops to death and then finds scapegoats. Doesn't the DPP always say we need to take care of civil servants?
[00:23:10] But what happens? You just treat the nation's civil servants as domestic
[00:23:14] servants for the green camp's own factional interests, and a firewall for those who
[00:23:18] break the law with privilege. The Control Yuan wants to.
[00:23:38] So when a chief's relatives become participants in special programs, and the qualifications are even more relaxed than regular camps, then of course there's privilege. And at first, you were still being cagey. When asked last year,
[00:23:41] you first denied it and then pushed it away, saying it wasn't
[00:23:44] true. And the most disgraceful thing is that when everyone asked you
[00:23:48] to explain, you, in turn, questioned the qualifications,
[00:23:52] motives, and political stance of the questioners. This is the DPP's extremely
[00:23:56] disgraceful behavior. When supervising the common people, when supervising the opposition party,
[00:24:00] the national security standard is raised to the ceiling. But when supervising their own people,
[00:24:04] the standard drops to the floor. They demand that the people avoid
[00:24:07] infinite suspicion, and demand that high-ranking officials avoid it themselves. And then,
[00:24:11] they still have to wait for the Control Yuan to act before it can be proven.
[00:24:15] So, the DPP talks about democracy but holds public
[00:24:19] funds. When questioned, they first ask, "Which party are you from?" This kind of politics,
[00:24:22] of course, not only lacks democratic progress,
[00:24:26] but is a major democratic regression. Xu Jiaqing was discovered
[00:24:30] this time to have spent millions of public funds alone abroad for 26 days. He said all
[00:24:34] of it was for official business, but now the party has also disclosed more information,
[00:24:37] revealing that he traveled abroad for a total of 526 days
[00:24:41] over five years, spending more than 20 million in public funds. So Xu Jiaqing said
[00:24:45] his visits were all for the purpose of serving overseas Chinese. Of course, this is part
[00:24:49] of the Overseas Community Affairs Council's business.
[00:27:38] Second, regardless of whether Xu Jiaqing's overseas trips are
[00:27:41] reasonable or not.
[00:27:44] What does Xu Jiaqing's expertise have to do with overseas Chinese affairs? What does it have to do with overseas Chinese? What does it have to do with
[00:27:48] diplomacy? Nothing. He was so kind
[00:27:52] to say, "Oh, you don't know how to be a legislator, I'll teach you." I'm sorry, Xu Jiaxing, you don't even have a chance to be elected as a legislator.
[00:27:56] You don't even have a chance to be elected and lose.
[00:28:00] You haven't even been elected.
[00:29:36] how he spent his money abroad.
[00:29:39] Show us your KPIs.
[00:29:42] We, the Overseas Community Affairs Council, have a KPI, the number of overseas Chinese
[00:29:45] returning to Taiwan for National Day every year.
[00:29:49] You should at least bring back a few guests.
[00:29:53] Old overseas Chinese
[00:29:55] are often pro-KMT,
[00:30:32] while younger new overseas Chinese are often more pro-Green.
[00:30:36] The activities that old overseas Chinese used to
[00:30:38] organize are no longer allowed.
[00:30:46] The subsidies they used to receive are no longer given.
[00:30:50] You know, people from the overseas community, if they want to
[00:30:51] organize National Day activities
[00:30:54] and so on, they often need to meet.
