DPP legislator Zhao Tianlin’s extramarital affair sparked public discussion. Under election pressure, he was forced by DPP colleagues to withdraw from the election overnight. As a national defense legislator, Zhao Tianlin has access to many national defense and military secrets in his duties, and his ten-year affair with a mainland Chinese woman has been questioned as possibly involving the leakage of national security secrets. Unexpectedly, he had no reflection on his own derailed behavior, but instead dragged others into the trap and asked Kuomintang legislator Ma Wenjun to be investigated together. He is really a despicable moral thief.
The DPP is a master of political operations. It pursues political interests in everything it does, regardless of means or costs; over time, even morality, justice and values can be sacrificed. In just two days of handling the Zhao Tianlin affair case, we might only smell the stench of politics, but not the sincerity of apology and reflection. On the day Zhao Tianlin gave up the election, Chairman Lai Qingde also reminded the entire party to “never forget the original intention”, saying that the DPP would not sacrifice the party’s principles for the sake of “a majority” in Congress. This statement sounds extremely ironic: Zhao Tianlin was forced to give up the election, wasn’t it just to stop the bleeding and save the Green Camp election?
Zhao Tianlin has been portraying the image of a “loving wife and caring for the family” for many years, but he had an affair in his marriage for ten years, and his character collapsed overnight. The worst thing is that he shamelessly used his wife’s “forgiveness” to excuse himself, and his children’s “come on” to wash away his guilt, and then easily forgiven himself. If a politician has no remorse for his disloyalty to his family, would he feel uneasy if there was any disloyalty in his office as a legislator?
The Democratic Progressive Party has been talking regarding “gender equality” for many years and has always said it respects women. However, once a scandal occurs among green camp politicians, the most common excuse is to use “wife forgiveness” as a shield, hoping that the outside world will stop criticizing. As a result, as the wife of a DPP politician, it seems that she has no choice but to endure her husband’s infidelity endlessly, and has to force a smile to endorse his platform. What value of “sexual equality” does such a twisted mentality express? Including many politicians in the Democratic Progressive Party who consider themselves “feminist activists”, most of them choose to remain silent when faced with such situations. What kind of new feminist attitude does that show?
This time Zhao Tianlin had an extramarital affair, the media listed more than a dozen of the scandals that Green Camp had had and quotes from the parties involved. In fact, this list does not include the people involved in sexual harassment incidents this year, and sexual harassment incidents have not been dealt with seriously. It is precisely because of the DPP’s long-term cover-up, double-standard treatment, and even abuse of the “spouse card” that the moral sense of party comrades has gradually weakened and declined. One of the most destructive indicator cases is that Wang Pisheng, CEO of the Medical Welfare Association, was promoted following the scandal of having a child outside of marriage was revealed. President Tsai and former Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shizhong teamed up to throw Guan Zhen into the trash can. A crude moral killer.
Wang Bisheng’s personal ethics was ruined, and the Tsai government buried Guan Zhen with him; Zhao Tianlin’s extramarital affair raised national security concerns, and Lvying Lama Wenjun was put on trial; Chen Zongyan, the former spokesman of the Executive Yuan, was involved in corruption and sexual entertainment during Lai Qingde’s tenure in the Tainan City Government, and the case was He disappeared during the transfer by the prosecution and has not been followed up. This is the problem of the Democratic Progressive Party. Every time it cheats and makes mistakes, it is unwilling to directly apologize or make corrections. Instead, it constantly uses political means to attack and smear others in order to shift the focus. As a result, the society has experienced a lot of turmoil, the people have not seen the final fairness and justice, morals and value beliefs have been blurred, and even the judiciary is crumbling. How can such a society have the possibility of progress?
When Lai Qingde calls on all party members to “never forget the original intention,” he might as well think regarding his hometown of Wanli, where there are still unresolved disputes over illegal construction. The illegal construction of politicians who were questioned at the same time included the addition of a balcony in Ke Wenzhe’s hometown in Hsinchu, and the revelation that Huang Guochang’s hometown in Xizhi occupied part of state-owned land, and has now been dealt with or demolished. As for Lai Qingde’s hometown, is it really necessary to use “having a house number” as an excuse to ask the Mining Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to help him resist the identification of the New Taipei City Land Bureau? Why can’t we take the initiative to complete the procedures for legalizing illegal construction?
The Democratic Progressive Party has opened too many small doors in power, and has become more stubborn in dealing with the mistakes made by party members, causing judicial justice, social values and moral ethics to be buried together. On this point alone, he is an unqualified ruler.
