♦  Associated Press (2026-8-12): Some scholars, though, say that Taiwan's government is enforcing the law selectively. “The government these few years, they are interpreting many of the laws wrongly, or in a distorted way,” said Bruce Liao, a law professor and expert in immigration law at National Chengchi University.
 ♦  NEO Journal (the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences), 2026-1-7: on the Taiwan island per se, the confrontation between the opposition, which controls the parliament and is represented by the Kuomintang, and the executive branch, led by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has sharply escalated. The judicial and prosecutorial branches support the DPP and are blocking the opposing forces’ attempts to pass a vote of no confidence in the executive authorities, including the president.

　

★Taiwan judicial systems -  political tools

★★   Washington Post, 2025-1-17:  With TPP chairperson Ko's indictment, the KMT and TPP are accusing president Lai of abusing his powers to politically influence the judiciary.   Ko denies the charges, which his supporters say are politically motivated.

★★   War On The Rocks (2024-9-20): Washington is quietly watching how Taiwan's new president Lai consolidates power, using the court to prosecute former vice premier Cheng Wen-tsan over corruption allegations.  Cheng's arrest reflects an intra-party political struggle between a pair of long-time rivals.  The arrest and detention of Taiwan People's Party chairman and former Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je on corruption charges, as well as a number of corruption cases involving Kuomintang (KMT) officials have Lai's critics protesting that he is using the judiciary to persecute rivals.  Washington observers might worry that Lai is undermining the independence of the judicial system...

★★  United Daily, 2023-7-18: Many judgments or conclusions follow directions from the ruling party  udn.com/news/story/7338/7307107?from=udn_ch2cate6643sub7338_pulldownmenu_v2

 Taiwanese prosecutor said a dizzy, sleepy, disabled elderly lady (my mom aged about 90, having hospital's medicines which may cause dizzy) can stand independently during sleeping time at midnight , and the care-giver getting her up unstable and immediately running away which resulted in the elder's falling down is not against the laws.
the case in English ,  in Chinese
　

　

 In the US, the house-owner victim has full right to gun shoot an unwanted dangerous intruder (force permissible to home-invaders) , but in Taiwan, you will be charged by criminal laws if pushing the intruder out  by naked hands. ... see

　

case in English,,  in Chinese
　

　

　

  The chef kept sniffing at me, a foreigner proved this. In Oscar film "Parasite", sniffing is very offensive and can trigger a killing.

A chef shouted "the exit is out there ! the toilet is out there !!" to me (didn't ask him) in the presence of large number of customers in a 5 star hotel restaurant, but the prosecutor said it's not an offense (crime of public insult, defamation, which is similar to American Laws around libel & slander)  case in English ,   in Chinese

　

　

　

  The accused, a server of Taiwan's 5 star hotel restaurant, repeatedly sniffed loudly at two customers (my families) in public.
Dictionary of Oxford, Cambridge,  Collins: "sniff at " expresses contempt; and a world famous American brand 5 star hotel should well train its servers not to do this.  Therefore, it should be an intentional offense  (crime of defamation or public insult).    Furthermore,  this case, most likely, is part of an accomplice structure, systematic crimes, political oppressions upon me because it has happened a lot of places else.  Ignoring witness testament (testify the crime) and other evidences, not summoning the defendant to the court, the chief prosecutor and two prosecutors concluded the criminal case "not to be prosecuted" merely by looking at the defendant's one second "smile" on the DVD.
 in English,   in Chinese

　

　

  public insult in Taiwan vs. public insult in Hong Kong : The suspects kept splashing lots of dirt at front of my home, and the janitor "suspected to be accomplice" having the duty to clean it but ignored cleaning it for nearly one year.  Taiwan prosecutor jumps to close the case (簽結) without entering investigation process.
in English,  in Chinese
　

　

　

　

  The accused wants to borrow money from me, in the "IOU" she wrote " brought $2000 for my boss"  instead of "borrow $2000 from my boss" by not-clear-enough handwriting, therefore I was fooled in the first place . 

the accused's mother language is English, and graduated from senior high school, she suppose not make this error, and it should be a  clever trick planned in advance to make creditor to be debtor.

The suspect attempted to commit fraud, but Taiwan prosecutor said it is not a <attempted fraud>, nor a fraud.

in English,  in Chinese

　

　

Ignoring warnings, the unwanted intruder repeated criminal trespassing into sleeping place and took something in sleeping time.  But the chief prosecutor concluded it not a crime of home invasion (or criminal trespassing), and burglary.    A simple case takes nearly 2 years to make such a conclusion !

　

The foreign laborer stuffed lots of fish-bones and skins etc down into pipe line in the sink, then the air condition was not working.  The chief prosecutor says it is not a crime of "damage to property" or "criminal mischief" !   in English,  in Chinese  
　

　
　

　

　

  The Taiwan state machine was accused as "political persecution" by me with proofs (American friend says Taiwan FBI is investigating me, my "political persecution in Taiwan " has been ranked top on all world best search engines for years, but the government fails to respond that, etc ).
  Taiwan prosecutor jumped to an end "nothing to do with crime" without conducting any investigations.  The history might tell Taiwan is a big liar.
