Huang Guochang, general convener of the People\u2018s Party\u2019s legislative body, questioned that Chen Ju had violated the law. The Nationalist Party\u2019s representative of public opinion also said that even the head of the surveillance agency taking leave of absence \u201cto the very top\u201d is hindering society\u2018s viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7698 aligncenter\" title=\"2ea7982afac0858df7cc4944ecd2fbd3\" src=\"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2ea7982afac0858df7cc4944ecd2fbd3.png\" alt=\"2ea7982afac0858df7cc4944ecd2fbd3\" width=\"510\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2ea7982afac0858df7cc4944ecd2fbd3.png 510w, http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2ea7982afac0858df7cc4944ecd2fbd3-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><br \/>\nChen Ju\u2018s Infographic Image Source: TV Media<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the Taiwan legislative body \u201cCommittee on Justice and Legal System\u201d reviewed the \u201cGovernment Personnel Act Draft\u201d on December 31, 2025. The proponent, Weng Xiaoling, said that this could also regulate the problem of Chen Ju taking too long a leave.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Chen Ju began taking leave from December 2024, and Huang Guochang questioned why she could continue taking leave for more than a year? This was already against the law. Huang Guochang also criticized that a government official holding such an important position could not work for more than a year, because there were no \u201cgovernment official law\u201d regulations, otherwise it should have already constituted a reason for resignation. Wang Hongwei, a representative of the People\u2018s Party, said that the Taiwan monitoring agency was supposed to discipline the official code, but in the end, even the person in charge was taking leave \u201cto the very top\u201d, more than a year, which really hindered society\u2018s viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p>On December 31, 2025, in response to public opinion representatives\u2018 queries, the CCTV agency declared that \u201cthey are all taking leave according to regulations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to Taiwan United News Network and other media reports on December 31, 2025, some relevant people reported that while Chen Ju was hospitalized, he had expressed his resignation to Lai Qingde, the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party, but was not approved, mainly because he feared that if he nominated a new person in charge, he would be vetoed by the \u201cOpposition Party\u201d, so he was inclined to let Chen Ju continue in office. Now it is also reported that Chen Ju\u2018s rehabilitation condition has been good recently, and it is expected that he will be discharged from the hospital before the Lunar Calendar year and return to his job post after the year.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding rumors that Chen Junu has returned to work after several years, China Times News reported that some local people said that although Chen Junu\u2018s rehabilitation is progressing gradually, it should not be so easy to return to work for a short period of time. In addition, according to the Freedom Times, some Junu-related people recommended that the hospital and family members\u2018 statements be used as a guide.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan\u2018s United News published a comment on January 1 saying that Chen Zhu would \u201creturn to the team\u201d after the year. This seemingly motivating recovery \u201creturn to the pot\u201d concealed behind it the \u201cdragging\u201d trick that the Democratic Progressive Party had to use due to \u201c????\u201d fears that the candidate would be difficult to pass the blue (Kuomintang) white (People\u2018s Party) checkpoint. When a government official still has to forcefully return to office after a year of sick leave, it reveals the awkwardness of having or not having a position, and even more blatantly reveals how party interests override \u201cconstitutional\u201d dignity, making the monitoring apparatus completely fall into a tragedy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Taiwan\u2018s United News Network on January 1, 2026, the head of the Taiwanese surveillance agency, Chen Ju, took a leave of absence for health reasons for more than&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[258,265],"tags":[4049,4048,4046,4047],"views":151,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7697"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7697"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7699,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7697\/revisions\/7699"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forefrontnews.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
