Former army commander-in-chief general Chen Ting-chung is pictured in an undated photograph. “Let’s terminate the subsidy to Chen’s school... As the school’s founder, he insulted people ... and the government should not provide him with further financial subsidies,” DPP Legislator Chaung Jui-hsiung (莊瑞雄) said. The council in a statement expressed its regret about Chen’s remarks, saying that his speech hurt the feelings of the public. “Operating a school for the Taiwanese business community in China is no easy task. To guarantee the right to education for Taiwanese students in China, we should not link the education subsidy to Chen’s personal remarks, as there is no direct connection,” the statement said.
