The registration for the Kuomintang (KMT) Taipei City Council primary elections will start tomorrow. Li Xiaoliang, a candidate for the Zhongzheng-Wan-Hua district in Taipei and the leader of the petition to remove Wu Peiyi, has recently been reported to have tarnished the KMT's reputation. The Taipei City Party Department has decided not to impose any punishment. However, it has also been revealed that he has dual residence status and is involved in a controversy regarding non-military service.
Regarding this, Li Xiaoliang responded today that he indeed has dual residence status and has proactively contacted the Canadian "Taiwan Representative Office" to inquire about the procedures for renouncing his residence status. As for military service, fulfilling the obligation of military service as a Taiwanese citizen is naturally expected by law. He definitely did not use illegal methods to avoid the issue of military service, and it should not be over-politicized or exaggerated during the election period.
