PFP lawmakers say TSU has received secret funds

2002/01/03 Taipeitimes
By Stephanie Low
STAFF REPORTER


People First Party lawmakers yesterday alleged that the National Security Bureau has secretly channeled up to NT$500 million from an unmonitored secret account to the Taiwan Research Institute headed by former president Lee Teng-hui (§õµn½÷).

The lawmakers said they discovered that the money has been used to finance the Taiwan Solidarity Union, of which Lee is the spiritual leader, and the Taiwan Advocates, a private think tank founded recently by Lee.

National Security Bureau officials flatly rejected the allegation.

They admitted that the bureau had funded the Taiwan Research Institute last year from an NT$19 million budget earmarked for research projects for local or overseas academic institutions, but would not disclose the details of the projects on the grounds that they are confidential.

The institute, meanwhile, released a statement saying that it only accepts research projects contracted by the government and business sector, and that all the incomes and expenditures of the institute are available for examination.

The PFP lawmakers made the allegation yesterday after a closed-door meeting with a group of National Security Bureau officials, led by bureau director-general Tsai Chao-ming (½²´Â©ú).

Hsieh Chang-chieh (Á³¹±¶), deputy convener of the PFP legislative caucus, said the bureau, under Lee's instruction, has amassed a sum of money from the surpluses of its annual budgets during the time of Lee's presidency.

Under standard procedure, the surpluses should be returned to the national coffers.

This sum of money, which the lawmakers alleged has become the "private stash" of a small minority of high-ranking government officials, totals at least NT$4 billion including bank interest, Hsieh said.

According to Hsieh, National Security Bureau officials told the lawmakers during the meeting that there is a balance of NT$3 billion, only.

"In other words, it is a mystery as to how the other NT$1 billion has been spent," Hsieh said.

He said the PFP demanded that the bureau brief the caucus on the details of how the money was spent, and the caucus may propose cutting or shelving the bureau's budget unless it is able to offer a satisfactory explanation.

Also, the PFP will not rule out the possibility of cooperating with the KMT to set up a special panel to investigate the secret account, Hsieh said.

"The bureau should never be allowed to spend money without monitoring by the legislature, especially when the money is used to subsidize the operations of political parties or groups," Hsieh said.

The existence of the bureau's secret account first came to light in 2000 following the exposure of an alleged embezzlement case involving former National Security Bureau chief cashier Colonel Liu Kuan-chun (¼B«a­x).

The NT$90 million allegedly misappropriated by Liu, who fled abroad in September 2000, was allegedly from this account.

According to Hsieh, during closed-door legislative sessions held to review the bureau's budget in the same year, former bureau Director-General Ting Yu-chou (¤B´ü¬w) admitted there was a sum of money that had accumulated from past surpluses and promised to control spending on a case-by-case basis and report to the legislature before drawing on the fund.

The bureau has so far failed to make good on its promise, Hsieh said.

Tsai Huang-liang (½²·×·ã), chief executive of the DPP legislative caucus, met with bureau Director-general Tsai Chao-ming immediately after the PFP made the allegation.

Tsai Huang-liang quoted the bureau head as saying that the secret account has been frozen since the exposure of Liu's case, and that it is impossible for the NSB to draw money from the account to finance the Taiwan Research Institute.

The bureau has kept a clear account of the money spent and has reported to the Control Yuan's Ministry of Audit every three months about this account, Tsai Chao-ming was cited as saying.

Everybody knows KMT, China are in cahoots

BY Chin Heng-wei ª÷«íÞm
2001/11/29


Former President Lee Teng-hui (§õµn½÷) has lambasted KMT Chairman Lien Chan (³s¾Ô) for colluding with China to betray Taiwan. Lien and the KMT have loudly refuted the allegation, arguing that it is an ungrounded accusation that amounts to vilification and slander. In the context of domestic political strife, the question of right and wrong is often blurred by partisan wrangling.

It is difficult, however, to talk people out of believing the same accusation when it comes from abroad, especially from a renowned US think tank or media source. Nor is it possible to cover up the veracity of the report with their denials.

Recently, the Cable News Network (CNN) made public an article by Willy Wo-Lap Lam (ªL©M¥ß), a commentator on Chinese affairs. The article revealed that "in closed-door meetings with KMT stalwarts, Beijing cadres have pledged to give them political and other kinds of support to ensure the DPP's defeat at the polls." At the same time, "Beijing hopes to prevent the TSU [Taiwan Solidarity Union] from gaining enough seats to join forces with DPP politicians and independents to control the legislature."

Frankly speaking, the fact that the KMT has joined hands with China to bash President Chen Shui-bian (³¯¤ô«ó) is nothing new. In early August, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a US think tank, published on its Web site an article by Bonnie S. Glaser, an expert on China affairs. The article said that after the presidential election last year, some KMT members "urged Beijing to avoid opening a dialogue with Chen ... Instead, the KMT urged Chinese leaders to await the return of their party to power, promising that the KMT will pursue a cross-strait policy that is more amenable to Beijing."

The two articles outline the KMT's true colors and show its willingness to collude with China to sell out Taiwan. They not only show continuity in terms of time, but also echo each other in their content. Interestingly, the two articles came from different China experts at different institutions. The KMT simply can't deny the accusations.

Both the CSIS and CNN enjoy good reputations internationally, and their professionalism is beyond question. More importantly, the two authors are experts on China affairs, rather than Taiwan affairs. They neither have to speak for Taiwan nor have relations with Taiwanese political interests.

So is it true that the KMT colludes with China to sell out Taiwan? The answer is all too obvious.
