The spokesperson of the Kuomintang, Niu Xuting, stated that Zhuo Rongtai claimed to have funded his own trip to Japan to watch a game. In addition to the controversy over whether he neglected official duties and matters concerning Taiwan, it is more important that funding one's own trip to watch a game is not something to be taken lightly. The cost of a chartered flight could reach millions, so what kind of chartered flight method did Zhuo Rongtai use? Zhuo Rongtai should clearly explain this to the people of Taiwan.
Niu Xuting pointed out that as the "Premier" of the Executive Yuan, there are always security and special services measures surrounding him. Therefore, objectively speaking, it is unlikely for him to have purely self-funded travel. Regardless, some public resources must have been used. Whether it is correct or not should rely on the public opinion of the people. Niu Xuting said that many political figures and supporters of the Democratic Progressive Party mentioned so-called foreign affairs considerations, but this explanation does not match the statement from the Executive Yuan that the trip was purely a private matter. There are still many things that need to be clearly explained to the people of Taiwan. I would like to remind again that the public perception of this situation is not particularly good, and I hope our "Premier" focuses more on government affairs.
