According to the premier, the trip was fully personal and self-funded, whereas the opposition maintained that it could not be so, considering that the flight was operated from a military base. On Tuesday, while questioned by lawmakers, Cho held up a paper bag, in which he said contains all the receipts. On Friday, the contents were finally pulled out for all to see. Is this not my name? Here, 2.08 million remitted, no? The contents of the paper bag Premier Cho Jung-tai shown on Tuesday during a legislative hearing, which he said contains receipts for his self-funded trip to Japan last weekend, are finally out the bag for all to see. Cho Jung-tai Premier The tour bus fare was 200,000 yen (approx. NT$40,000), tickets to the game were NT$18,500 in total. As for the chartered flight, here, March 7, flight CI188 at 6 a.m., Songshan to Haneda, 2.08 million. The premier maintains that last weekend’s trip to Tokyo is a personal affair. The controversy arose from where his flight took off—the Air Force Songshan Command. KMT lawmaker Hsu Chiao-hsin visited the military base on Thursday to obtain evidence that the premier’s “private” trip was only in appearance. Cho questioned the KMT lawmaker’s motive to refute his claim. Cho Jung-tai Premier She’s sidetracked the special defense budget to visit the Air Force Songshan Command in person, to insist that my trip was a public engagement. Her action clearly went against national interest, nor was it conducted in line with a legislator’s duty. She’s trying to prove a point, but to whom? Cho’s trip to Japan was the first for an incumbent premier since Japan severed formal relations with Taiwan in the 70s. That alone is a diplomatic breakthrough. Some wonder whether he saw Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae in Tokyo. Cho did not give an explicit response. Cho Jung-tai Premier You may wonder whether I met anyone or went anywhere. I told the secretary-general that while in Tokyo, I visited Kōenji. It’s a lovely neighborhood in Tokyo. Some of us went for ramen, some for coffee, and some caught up with friends, that’s all. After days of political spat, the premier finally pulled out the receipts to support his claim that the Tokyo trip for him and his team was fully personal and self-funded.
