Scandal edit
The following section on the scandal has some serious issues:
Vice chairperson Chang Tien-chin recruited the commission's researchers to hold internal meetings. When they discussed the ″descaling article″ in the meeting, Chang suddenly named Hou You-yi. He asked other researchers to work overtime to find cases similar in foreign countries, trying to make Hou be the worst example of transformational justice. They attempted to use national instruments and join the eight DPP's legislators to persecute the candidates of another party. In addition, Chang and the researcher Xiao Jinan boasted that they transfer the Transitional Justice Commission from the west depot to Eastern Depot (a Ming dynasty spy and secret police agency, this organization always used public authority to persecute loyal persons) in a meeting. Associate researcher Wu Pei-rong transcribed the tape at the meeting and exposed it later.
The news stunned the public, many criticizing Chang for trying to use public authority to persecute candidates of other parties.[18] On September 12, Chang resigned, followed by Wu Pei-rong and Xiao Jinan shortly thereafter. Commission chair Huang Huang-hsiung apologized to the public.[19]
(1) No one knows what a "descaling article" is, and it's probably not relevant.
(2) The word "suddenly" is not neutral and is a judgement. A lot of these words are judgemental, i.e. "trying to make..." assigns motive.
(3) The sentence about internal meetings isn't relevant, everyone has meetings, some of them internal.
(4) The explainer to the depot comment is not neutreal. There is an Eastern Depot page on Wiki. If anyone is interested, they can go edit that page. It's unclear what "loyal persons" refers to here either.
