Kuo-chang Huang Claims Chi-kang Chiang May Resign Over Toxic Oil Scandal; Executive Yuan Responds: Political Maneuvering Won't Solve Problems

Taiwan People's Party Chairperson Kuo-chang Huang stated today (22) that prior to the July 25 food safety protest, he heard rumors that Food and Drug Administration Director Chi-kang Chiang would resign. In response, Executive Yuan spokesperson Hui-chih Lee said such political rhetoric and manipulation are unhelpful when central and local governments need to cooperate most. She emphasized that resolving food safety issues should be the priority, urging all parties to set aside political differences and work together to strengthen mechanisms and safeguard public health.

Lee noted Huang's unfounded speculation about personnel changes within the government team, stressing that for the administration, nothing is more important than swiftly restoring a safe food environment and improving relevant legal frameworks.
