Taiwanese Political Donations Law May Ban Crypto and Online Donations

Political figures in Taiwan are focusing on performance metrics to secure future electoral success. The party's strategy follows a visit to mainland China by the Legislative Yuan President. KMT leadership noted that Donald Trump is expected to visit mainland China next month, which may influence the year-end election landscape. The source stated that to win the mayoral election, a candidate must gain support from swing voters. The focus should shift from 'anti-China, protect Taiwan' rhetoric to municipal construction and citizens' livelihoods. The source also mentioned that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government, under Lai Ching-te, has repeatedly violated the constitution in the past two years. The source cited Professor Lin's view that Lai Ching-te's criticism of the first article of the constitution, which states the Republic of China is based on Sanmin Zhuyi, is a reason for constitutional 'indigestion.' The source noted that the DPP frequently mentions the Republic of China constitution and accuses others of distorting it, while themselves violating constitutional articles. The source also discussed Shen Po-yang, suggesting his style is very similar to Lai Ching-te's past 'unity award' initiatives, which contained historical mysteries. The source believes the Kuomintang (KMT) fears Shen Po-yang running for mayor, as it would pose a threat to Jiang Wanan. This change is perceived as a threat to the incumbent, Chiang Wan-an. The candidate's actions and statements are being compared to those of Vice President Lai Ching-te, particularly regarding past calls for unity. Taiwan's Control Yuan is proposing amendments to the Political Donations Act.
