Reporter Ke Peichen / Comprehensive report

In response to the drug feeding case in a kindergarten in New Taipei City, the Taiwan Fact Checking Center announced that Lai Qingde’s spokesman Dai Weishan and Chung Yuan University associate professor Zhao Mingwei’s statements were fake news. Zhao Mingwei issued a statement apologizing on the 21st, but Dai Weishan and Lai Qingde did not apologize for a long time. Wang Minxu, spokesperson of Hou Youyi’s campaign office, criticized that the election pays attention to “integrity”, but Lai Qingde’s team has never apologized to the public. Please ask President Tsai Ing-wen, who has repeatedly emphasized the crackdown on fake news, to warn Vice President Lai Qingde not to falsify the election.

Wang Minxu said that in order to blur the focus, Lai Qingde’s team chose to use “false information” for political offense and defense. Now that the false information has been certified, the DPP has been quiet about false information from top to bottom. Lai Qingde has not expressed “fake” to the team for a long time. Express any opinions, let alone bow and apologize to the public. Without integrity, you cannot be trusted.

“The Executive Yuan is still sleeping?” Wang Minxu pointed out that the Taiwan Fact Checking Center is a platform for “dual certification” by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Since the Fact Checking Center has declared Lai Qingde’s spokesperson as “fake news”, but two days later, the Executive Yuan Instant News clarified that there is no relevant information so far, but it is all content attacking other political opponents, and it really is the state apparatus.

Wang Minxu criticized that President Tsai Ing-wen once shared the Taiwan model of fighting disinformation with the international community in 2020, claiming that citizens with correct information and a strong democratic system are the best means of defense. Now members of Lai Qingde’s team are directly identified as disinformation , calling on President Tsai to warn Vice President Lai not to falsify the election, and to apologize and withdraw from the election if it is falsified.
