Taiwan’s First Legislator Candidate Suspected of Receiving Chinese Funds via USDT, Ma Zhiwei, Arrested

This case is the first instance of a candidate for legislative elections being found to have received external funding since the implementation of Taiwan’s Anti-infiltration Act. Ma Zhiwei, previously the spokesperson for the Taoyuan City branch of the People First Party, left her position due to her support for a specific political figure. Despite running as an independent candidate this time, she is still a member of the People First Party. This incident undoubtedly has had an impact on the People First Party.
