Hsinchu County political controversy

Overview

Cheng Chao-fang, the Mayor of Zhubei and a candidate for Hsinchu County Magistrate, is facing scrutiny regarding his governance and personal finances. Critics have raised concerns over public safety during heavy rains and questioned whether his focus on urban aesthetics prioritizes personal branding over essential city management.

Additionally, allegations have surfaced regarding Cheng’s family finances and land dealings, including claims of a 40-million-TWD loan. While Cheng has denied allegations involving 260 million TWD, opponents have called for greater transparency. In response, Cheng has characterized these accusations as “smear tactics and mass black propaganda,” maintaining that his administration has delivered tangible improvements to Zhubei.
