“In recent days, reports on gang activities and crime have been linked to the DPP’s internal management of party membership. These have led to criticism and have tarnished our party’s image,” said Tsai, who is also the DPP chairperson, at the party’s headquarters in Taipei. President Tsai Ing-wen speaks at Democratic Progressive Party headquarters in Taipei on Wednesday, apologizing for lapses in the review mechanism for party members. These will also remove those found to be affiliated with organized crime groups,” Tsai said. The party will make use of an artificial intelligence (AI) information system to prevent members of organized crime groups from joining the party, DPP secretary-general Lin Hsi-yao (林錫耀) said.
