The Taiwan People's Party legislator and mainland China spouse, Li Zhengxiu, responded this morning to media inquiries regarding the sudden crash of last night’s live stream, with reporters asking if she has been under significant pressure recently. Li Zhengxiu explained that yesterday she simply returned after being busy and checked viewers’ feedback from the live stream, where she saw numerous messages of support. This deeply touched her, filling her with gratitude, which caused her emotions to overflow uncontrollably.
Li Zhengxiu pointed out that Zhong Xiaoping must offer a serious apology. As a representative of public opinion, he openly abused his platform to spread rumors, misled the public, and caused widespread misunderstandings—not only targeting her personally but also causing distress not just to herself but to the entire mainland spouse community. Moreover, five village heads have all faced persecution by the DPP due to their identity issues.
Li Zhengxiu stated that yesterday, a Kuomintang legislator questioned the Mainland Affairs Council head, Qiu Chui-zheng, during a session of the Legislative Yuan’s Internal Affairs Committee. Qiu confirmed that to date, no mainland spouse in Taiwan has successfully renounced their ancestral registration. This fact proves that Zhong Xiaoping’s information was false. Regardless of whether his misinformation was intentional or accidental, she hopes he—whether as a public representative or as an individual—must come forward and apologize.
Additionally, political commentator Wu Jingyi wrote: “Li Zhengxiu directly accused Gao Hong’an of receiving NT$7 million—this could potentially trigger another political donation scandal! The Taiwan People’s Party should not just be implicated in Gao Hong’an’s receipt of NT$7 million; there must be more people who took cash from Ko Wen-je. Didn’t Chen Zhihan receive any marketing and promotion funds? Where did the money for online army allied media come from?”
Wu Jingyi noted that if Xiao Cao wants to save Ko Wen-je, she should demand those who received money return it. After all, A Bei (Ko Wen-je) never put the money in his own pocket. The more they return, the lighter A Bei’s sentence will be. To achieve a clean slate, everyone who took money from Ko Wen-je must return it. Only through a full investigation can Ko Wen-je be saved. Xiao Cao, wake up! If others remain unclear, A Bei cannot be innocent either.
Hsinchu City Mayor Gao Hong’an responded: Whether it’s the “500” mentioned in the rumors about an Excel file or the “700” reported by Li Zhengxiu based on what she heard in court, both are completely fabricated and untrue—she never received such amounts.
She emphasized that the Taiwan People’s Party’s election sponsorship is legally allocated political donations, supported by bank transfer records and fully declared. These have been audited by the Control Yuan, and the public can verify them online. If necessary, she is willing to testify in court publicly to clarify the facts. Regarding unverified, maliciously defamatory statements, she also urges those spreading such rumors to reflect seriously on their actions.
