It is nevertheless noteworthy that the corruption probes are so wide-ranging, which has the potential to undermine public trust in government institutions.<\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2>What is the broader picture?<\/h2><p>In July, former Vice Premier Cheng Wen-tsan (\u912d\u6587\u71e6) of the Democratic Progressive Party was <a href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/society\/202407110015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arrested<\/a> for alleged corruption during his eight years of service as the Mayor of Taoyuan. This month, Legislator Sra Kacaw (\u912d\u5929\u8ca1) of the Kuomintang was <a href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/society\/202408270029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">summoned<\/a> for questioning and his office in the Legislative Yuan was searched as part of a corruption probe. Last but not least, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taipeitimes.com\/News\/front\/archives\/2024\/09\/01\/2003823078\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detention<\/a> of Ko Wen-je (\u67ef\u6587\u54f2), former mayor of Taipei and chairman of the Taiwan People\u2019s Party (TPP), sent shockwaves across the nation given the unusually high profile of the case.<\/p><p>While it is key to highlight that high-ranking politicians from all three major parties are involved in different corruption probes, <strong>the case raised against Ko attracted particular scrutiny<\/strong>. TPP achieved unprecedented electoral success in the January 2024 parliamentary and presidential elections. <strong>While Ko did not win the presidency, he <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cec.gov.tw\/english\/cms\/pe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>gained<\/strong><\/a><strong> over 26 percent of votes, a historic high for a third-party candidate.<\/strong> His party also won eight legislative seats, becoming a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/chinaobservers.eu\/roadblocks-ahead-taiwan-europe-relations-after-2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">critical minority<\/a>\u201d in the parliament. Notably, Ko centered the promise of \u201cclean politics\u201d within his platform, promising to shun the corrupt money politics of the Blue and Green camps. <strong>Ko\u2019s arrest is at least a second major blow to TPP\u2019s corruption-free reputation<\/strong>, after Hsinchu mayor Ann Kao (\u9ad8\u8679\u5b89) was removed from office and <a href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/politics\/202408210015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sentenced<\/a> to prison in late July after she was found guilty of embezzling public funds. Consequently, the future viability of the relative newcomer to the Taiwanese political scene is at stake.<\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2>Why does it matter?<\/h2><p>Similarly to Central Eastern European countries, <strong>Taiwan is considered <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ned.org\/docs\/Samuel-P-Huntington-Democracy-Third-Wave.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>a third-wave democracy.<\/strong><\/a> The process of democratic consolidation, which commenced in late 1990s, allowed Taiwan to become one of the healthiest and most thriving democratic regimes. In the early 2000s, the image of the pan-Green camp (pro-sovereignty parties reluctant to pursue closer engagement with China) faced a dramatic setback due to corruption scandals in the Chen Shui-bian (\u9673\u6c34\u6241) administration, and the issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/taiwan-struggles-to-shake-off-era-of-corruption-in-local-politics\/6846530.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clientelism<\/a> remains a concern in local elections. However, Taiwan\u2019s overall management of political corruption has improved, as reflected by the country\u2019s ranking in Transparency International\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transparency.org\/en\/countries\/taiwan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Corruption Perceptions Index<\/a> \u2013 in the most recent edition of the index, it placed 28 globally with a score of 67\/100. <strong>The ongoing corruption scandals can thus negatively affect Taiwan\u2019s international reputation as a \u201cshining city upon a hill\u201d in terms of transparency and good governance among its peers in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/strong><\/p><p>The island nation has used its success story of mitigating corruption to expand its international space. The recent Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) workshops on corruption prevention illustrate this trend. Close to the 20th anniversary of the <em>United Nations Convention against Corruption, <\/em>Taiwan \u2013 which remains excluded from UN frameworks \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ait.org.tw\/gctf-anti-corruption-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hosted a workshop<\/a> to strengthen anti-corruption efforts across the Indo-Pacific region and the world. Consequently, <strong>the ongoing corruption probes against politicians from all three mainstream parties will be watched closely not only by voters in Taiwan, but also the international community<\/strong>. It is imperative that the rule of law is upheld and investigations adhere to all relevant regulations and the highest standards of transparency to prevent staining the reputation of Taiwan as a democratic success story.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is happening?
