[Reporter Shi Xiaoguang/Taipei Report] A few days ago, the Taipei District Court opened a court session against Miaoli County Magistrate-elect Zhong Dongjin, who was expelled from the party by the Kuomintang, to confirm his party membership. The Party Central Committee's position is that if there is room for communication, it is willing to communicate and to reconcile with Zhong Dongjin, but it seems that Zhong Dongjin is unwilling at present.

As for agreeing to mediation, does it mean that Zhong Dongjin can be restored to the party?

This person said "no", saying that the Party Central Committee believes that the prosecution should be withdrawn first to avoid a bad judicial battle. As for whether Zhong Dongjin can return to the party, it is another matter.

This person also said that the Party Central Committee is willing to reconcile the judiciary first, as for the political reconciliation, it can only be discussed later.

During the election period, some party members assisted Zhong Dongjin in the election, and Miaoli County Mayor Xu Yaochang helped Zhong Dongjin stand on the platform, and was asked to revoke the party membership by the local party department. Party insiders said that the discipline inspection committee is still sorting out relevant case materials. Wait for a meeting at an appropriate time.

The Hualien County Party Headquarters alleged yesterday that Zhang Jun, the current speaker of the Hualien County Speaker, was excluded from being nominated for the next speaker election because he violated the anti-gangster clause and failed to return his willingness to investigate. The Kuomintang chairman Zhu Lilun responded in an interview in Taichung City this morning, The local councils of the Kuomintang have not yet met for the election of the speaker, and will start to deal with it next week, "so there is no such problem."

As for whether Zhang Jun may become the speaker of Hualien County nominated by the Party Central Committee in the future?

Party insiders said that the Party Central Committee has not expressed any opinion so far.
