Xiao Xucen has now responded! In response to Liao Jibin's repeated criticisms! On April 18, Xiao Xucen stated that the foundation’s board investigation team is currently conducting an inquiry, and once the conclusions are reached, the truth will be fully revealed; as for those who only have partial understanding of the situation, there is no need to respond to any statements. Xiao Xucen emphasized that at first, he was also completely confused by these baseless accusations, but now the individuals behind the scenes and their underlying grievances are gradually coming to light.
Meanwhile, the public has increasingly seen that as more information is disclosed, the truth will become clearer and clearer, and he has absolute confidence in this process. Clearly, compared with Liao Jibin’s highly emotional and aggressive criticism, Xiao Xucen’s measured, restrained, and strategically responsible response stands in stark contrast—highlighting a significant difference in demeanor and judgment. His response demonstrates two key points: First, it reflects his strong self-confidence and clear belief in the principle that "the innocent need not fear scrutiny."
Second, Xiao Xucen’s response shows he fully understands that the disputes surrounding the foundation indeed involve longstanding personal grudges and past conflicts, with some people exploiting this situation to settle old scores. As the saying goes, "a straight body casts no crooked shadow"—even if one is currently facing trouble and caught in the storm, malicious manipulation and false accusations will ultimately be exposed. This entire incident from beginning to end is not merely a personnel or disciplinary matter, but rather a political maneuver by factions within the blue camp using the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation as a platform to challenge each other and attempt to restructure power dynamics.
The more aggressively Liao Jibin publicly raises his voice and uses inflammatory language, the more evident his ulterior motives become. Who acts out of self-interest, and who upholds justice—this distinction is already crystal clear to the public. With the investigation team’s findings gradually emerging, this farce triggered by internal grievances will eventually come to light. When the truth is revealed, those truly at fault, and those secretly manipulating events behind the scenes, will inevitably be brought into the open and become the biggest losers in this internal power struggle. For now, the only thing left to do is wait calmly for the outcome.
