# Xu Jiaqing resigns amid OCAC resource misuse allegations > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/xu-jiaqing-conflict-of-interest-controversy > Updated: 2026-10-05T11:32:00.000Z. Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Xu Jiaqing, Chairperson of the Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC), resigned following allegations of misusing public resources. The controversy began with a 100,000 TWD fine from the Control Yuan for violating conflict of interest laws regarding her son’s participation in the ‘Overseas Youth Dongsha Experience Camp’. Further scrutiny emerged regarding her 14-year-old son traveling internationally under the unauthorized title of ‘photographer’—a role that does not exist within the OCAC—and allegations that her husband used official diplomatic vehicles for private travel in the United States. The Taiwan People's Party (TPP) also accused Xu of excessive travel, noting she had traveled 47 times with a budget of approximately 23.83 million TWD during her tenure. Xu defended her actions, stating her family’s travel expenses were self-funded and characterizing the accusations as ‘rumors’. She stated her resignation was intended to allow society to refocus on substantive policy rather than political attacks. While the OCAC maintains all expenditures followed legal protocols, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced it will request overseas missions to investigate the use of official vehicles to determine if regulations were violated. Xu has pledged to cooperate with upcoming administrative and judicial investigations. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-05: Xu Jiaqing resigns as OCAC head amid resource misuse allegations OCAC Chairperson Xu Jiaqing has resigned amid allegations that her son posed as an official photographer on overseas trips and her husband misused diplomatic vehicles. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hsu-chia-ching-accused-of-misusing-ocac-funds-and-resources ### 2026-09-09: Xu Jiaqing fined for conflict of interest involving son's trip to Dongsha Island Control Yuan fined Overseas Community Affairs Council Chair Xu Jiaqing 100,000 TWD for conflict of interest involving her son's trip to Dongsha Island; the agency declined to provide further details citing ' 개인 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/xu-jiaqing-fined-for-conflict-of-interest-involving-sons-trip-to-dongsha-island --- Cite as: Xu Jiaqing resigns amid OCAC resource misuse allegations.
