KMT chair's application for funding from Taiwan Foundation for Democracy
Posted on 2026-04-16 15:37:14
A senior DPP lawmaker is urging KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wen to withdraw an
application for public funding tied to her recent trip to China.



Reports said Cheng led a 35-member delegation on a six-day visit to China,
with total expenses, including flights, accommodation, and meals, estimated
at $4.8 million NT.

Cheng reportedly filed an application for the expenses to the Taiwan
Democracy Foundation, which is backed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.



DPP caucus secretary-general Fan Yun, who also serves as a board member of
the foundation, said the funding should not be used for exchanges with China
that “lack democracy and human rights."

In response, the Foundation's CEO Liao Da-qi (廖達琪) said given the concerns
raised by board members, future applications must be related to democracy and
human rights.
