[Reporter Zhong Lihua/Taipei Report] Xie Xiaoxing, chairman of the National Energy Council, was involved in a scandal involving a female subordinate. Lin Yijin and other 9 DPP legislators demanded that Xie Xiaoxing should immediately suspend his position as chairman. Xie Xiaoxing has asked the Executive Yuan for leave today to investigate until the end.

Luo Bingcheng, spokesman for the Executive Yuan, said that the task force is sorting out the information and will submit an investigation report as soon as possible.

As for the case of Xie Xiaoxing, which has been investigated for two months since October 4, Luo Bingcheng explained that this case is more special because there is no complaint from the victim. If there is a victim, we can focus on the facts stated by him.

Since the task force should try its best to ask relevant parties to come to explain, in order to clarify the facts, and there are a certain number of relevant parties, the task force should cooperate with their time.

Luo Bingcheng said that after media reports, Xie Xiaoxing proposed a self-initiated investigation to Premier Su Zhenchang, which is different from investigations of general sexual harassment cases. This is an investigation of authority.

And Su Kui immediately appointed Executive Yuan Secretary-General Li Mengyan to form a special investigation team to investigate. Li Mengyan stated in the Legislative Yuan this week that he is sorting out the information and will submit an investigation report as soon as possible.

Luo Bingcheng pointed out that the case has been investigated to a certain extent, and the relevant materials and evidence are still subject to the final decision of the task force. The Political Yuan will respect the decision of the task force.
