Chen Zongyan, former spokesman of the Executive Yuan, resigned because of the suspicion of the sexual entertainment case, which affected Lai Qingde. Although the green camp tried to deny it, it was still rumored that it might be an internal struggle among the DPP factions. Political commentator Guo Zhengliang, Ph.D. in political science from Yale, and senior media person Yang Xianhong discussed a set of possibilities and impossibilities about whether Lai Qingde is related to Lai Qingde in different political commentary programs today (20th).
Guo Zhengliang participated in the recording of the political commentary program, and responded to the host Ma Qianhui’s question, pointing out that the Chen Zongyan case was an “off-case case” 11 years ago, “someone actually remembered him”, and the surveillance translation was released 11 years later, aimed at Lai Qingde. Guo Zhengliang believes that Chen Zongyan entered the Executive Yuan in June 2018, and became popular because he was in the epidemic prevention center. If it was against Chen Zongyan, then the news should be revealed. Guo Zhengliang deduced that what happened 11 years ago is only revealed now, that is, at that time, someone bet that Lai Qingde would go up. He was a star mayor at that time, and some people wanted to say “keep it and see how to use it later”. This should be the mentality.
And Yang Xianhong accepted an exclusive interview with Huang Guangqin, a senior media person, and believed that the Chen Zongyan case should have nothing to do with Lai Qingde, but an “internal” matter in Tainan. Yang Xianhong said bluntly that Chen Zongyan had left Lai Qingde’s team a long time ago, and now that Chen Zongyan is Lai’s team, someone is deliberately manipulating it. Yang Xianhong said that Chen Zongyan performed well when he served as the deputy commander of the Central Epidemic Center. This time, the cabinet reshuffle jumped from a ministry to a spokesperson. There were rumors that he might be the candidate for the future mayor of Tainan. This is an internal matter in Tainan and has nothing to do with Lai Qingde.
