K-M-T Central Standing Committee member Ho Ying-lu has announced her
resignation from the party.

The move come amid controversy over a video she made calling for Taiwan's
unification with China while wearing a t-shirt featuring a portrait of Mao
Zedong shirt.

That video was posted on Douyin last month and in it Ho said she hoped Taiwan
would "soon return to the embrace of the motherland" as "to quickly unify is
my purpose and my responsibility."

The K-M-T's Disciplinary Committee announced on November 19 that it had
suspended Ho from her position on the committee, but allowed her to continue
in her duties while she appealed that ruling.

Ho attended yesterday's central standing committee meeting.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting Ho said she supports "peaceful
unification," and os concerned about the safety of people in Taiwan if a war
breaks out.

Reports have said Ho was born in China's Yunnan Province, raised in Hubei,
and came to Taiwan in 1997 after meeting her Taiwanese husband.
