Taiwanese politician and party chairman Huang Kuo-chang faces accusations of using a shell company to allegedly conduct illegal surveillance on political rivals and accept bribes. The allegations center on a company called "Kaiss International," which is accused of employing a "dog-walking squad" to monitor opponents.
As long as it can be proven that Huang Kuo-chang is the actual person in charge of Kaiss's dog-walking company, it is corruption with 7 years or more in prison.
Online personality "Four-Cat" Liu Yu compiled a breakdown of the case, stating that if Huang is proven to be the actual operator of Kaiss, he could face a minimum of seven years in prison for corruption. The accusations stem from a case involving the late chairman of the textile manufacturer Taiya Group, Shen Yu-hsiung, who was allegedly defrauded of over 5 billion NT dollars.

Huang had previously questioned the Minister of Justice, Cheng Ming-chien, about the Taiya fraud case in the legislature. Shortly after, Kaiss reportedly received 2 million NT dollars from the younger generation of the Taiya family. This has led to suspicions that the money was a "duty-related payment" for actions taken by Huang.
It seems that the suspect Huang is about to be promoted to convict Huang.
Netizens are closely following the unfolding legal drama, with many expressing anticipation for further developments. The case has drawn significant attention, with some commenters referencing past political controversies and suggesting potential legal repercussions for Huang.
It's very clear that as long as it's confirmed that the roaring emperor is the actual person in charge, he's finished with this charge, and normally there should be more to come, please refer to Ko Pi.
