This morning, regarding the allegation that he appeared to be dozing off during the public hearing of the Ko case, People's Party Chairperson Huang Kuo-chang stated that the camera angle was shot from below. He urged everyone to observe real courtroom livestreams from Europe and America, which typically film all participants in the proceedings—most importantly the judge, prosecutor, and defense counsel—from a front-facing perspective. In contrast, Taiwan uniquely uses a videotape-style recording setup, deliberately positioning the camera behind the judge and shooting downward.
Huang Kuo-chang emphasized that no one pays more attention to Chairman Ko's case than he does. Whenever court sessions are permitted by his official duties, he personally attends to listen, aiming to monitor whether prosecutors present actual evidence. While online discussions inevitably cut out context, he invites netizens to actually watch the courtroom proceedings, where Ko Wen-je and his defense team deliver powerful, factual accusations against the Taipei District Prosecutors Office—each grounded in objective facts, not speculation. If we close our eyes and refuse to see what’s happening, who will be next? Today it’s Ko Wen-je; tomorrow, who?
