He urged Cho to abandon his current course and refrain from undermining Taiwan's democratic constitutional framework.

Han's remarks came during an event for the Democratic Foundation. He specifically called on Cho to "realize that the road to correction is not yet far, and abandon past wrongs for present right." The speaker emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles and constitutional norms.

Premier Cho Jung-tai is fundamentally mistaken. I regret that Premier Cho Jung-tai is weaponizing the endorsement power.

The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the legislative and executive branches in Taiwan. Han's strong language suggests a significant political disagreement over the balance of power and the proper functioning of government.

Realize that the road to correction is not yet far, and abandon past wrongs for present right. Do not become an agent of damage to Taiwan's democratic constitutionalism.
