On January 2, 2024 (113th Year of the Republic of China), in the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election, the Democratic Progressive Party held a press conference accusing TPP presidential nominee Ko Wen-je of illegal agricultural land speculation. However, during the event, journalists and opposition figures dramatically confronted DPP spokesperson and former Hsinchu councilor Lee Yen-hui with official Control Yuan asset declarations. The records proved that Lee and her developer husband, Yang Sheng-hsiang of the Chang-Yi Group, personally registered and held in trust over 500 plots of prime development land across Hsinchu and Taoyuan worth billions of NT dollars. Stunned and unable to rebut the records beyond stating her investments were legal, Lee triggered widespread ridicule and fury across Taiwan. Critics slammed the ruling party's glaring double standards, mocking how a developer-backed political dynast owning over 500 parcels of real estate could dare preach housing justice.
