Xiaoliuqiu Recycling Tender Fails 15 Times, 1,500 Tons Unprocessed Amid Accusations Against Mayor Candidate's Brother

A critical situation is unfolding in Xiaoliuqiu, Taiwan, where a persistent failure to secure bids for recycling collection has left 1,500 tons of recyclable materials unprocessed. The situation has escalated to the point where local residents are voicing strong accusations against Li Tsih-fu, the brother of New Taipei City mayoral candidate Li Sichuan. Residents allege that Li Tsih-fu has been operating as an "environmental gangster," intimidating legitimate waste haulers to secure illicit profits amounting to millions of dollars.

The recycling collection case has now failed to attract any bids for 15 consecutive times. This prolonged inability to manage the waste is creating a growing environmental hazard. Following recent rainfall, the uncollected and unprocessed recyclable materials are beginning to pose a significant problem for the local community. The ongoing issue highlights a potential failure in waste management and raises questions about the integrity of the bidding process.
