Unexpectedly, the "Air Force Combat Command (referred to as the Air Finger Command)", which is located in the Taipei City Hall and is known as the "Taiwan Air Defense First Line", uses nearly 3 billion New Taiwan dollars (about 712.5 million yuan) for anti-blasting. In the new building, it was reported that the winning Chinese engineering company was suspected of overreporting construction costs and bribed the subcontractor to bribe Major General Zhang Dawei, NTD 30 million.

Major General Zhang Dawei of the "Arms Bureau" Engineering Operations Center has been locked in the case, and has been interviewed by the prosecution with the China Engineering Company (abbreviated as Zhonggong) and white glove industry who are suspected of bribery. The crime is under investigation.
Taiwan’s prosecutors also conducted investigations based on the intelligence information they have obtained in the past few months, successively found defense departments, Zhonggong and other places, and made extensive interviews with the people involved. The case continues to expand. In order to trace the flow of bribes, the prosecutor found the "Arms Bureau" for the first time at the end of March this year. Yan Defa, head of the Taiwan defense department, said that he would fully cooperate with the judicial investigation.
The Taiwanese media pointed out that the responsibility of the "air finger department" responsible for the "Taiwan Strait First Line" air defense mission is extremely important, and the "air finger department" under the "Air Force Command" and hiding in the city of Keelung Road at the bottom of Toad Mountain in Taipei City was exposed.

As for China Labor, the company's spokesperson only stated that "it is not possible to answer this", and the relevant case is unclear. The New Taipei Prosecutor's Office also stated that it was inconvenient to express opinions based on the principle of non-disclosure in investigation. (Overseas Network Wu Qian)
