The Taiwan People's Party is accusing Overseas Community Affairs Council head
Hsu Chia-ching and her family members of misusing public resources during her
trips abroad.

Hsu previously served as deputy Overseas Community Affairs Council head,
before being promoted.

According to T-P-P legislative caucus director Vicky Chen, Hsu has traveled
abroad 47 times for a total of 526 days since 2022 spending a total of
23-million N-T, or about one-third of the council's international travel
budget.

Chen says during that four-year period, Hsu also applied for daily travel
allowances totaling 4.2-million N-T.

The charges come after reports said Hsu had taken personal leave six times
during trips to the United States since 2024, fueling speculation that she
was scheduling such frequent trips solely to visit family members.

An audio recording of an anonymous individual stating that Hsu's husband and
son currently live in Washington, and that Hsu had traveled to Washington or
New York "three to four times" in 2024 has also been released.

The anonymous individual in the recording can be heard to say that the
frequent trips exhausted staff at Taiwan's local Overseas Community Affairs
Council offices and Hsu's American husband used a Taiwan diplomatic vehicle
to drive their son to family reunions.
