Members of the committee reportedly urged Li during a committee meeting on Monday to be more mindful of her actions and insinuated that she should step down, but she rejected the suggestion. Taiwan People’s Party Legislator Li Zhenxiu, center, reacts while speaking to reporters in Taipei in an undated photograph. According to the regulations, if Li is expelled from the party, she would simultaneously lose her legislator-at-large seat. Li yesterday did not directly address the controversy, but instead posted on Facebook saying: “Fear God, be loyal to your duties, and may good people have peace throughout their lives.”
