Taiwan’s Ministry of the Interior on August 7 petitioned the Constitutional Court to dissolve the China Unification Promotion Party (CUPP), led by Chang An-le, known as “White Wolf.” Interior Minister Liu Shih-fang said the party is a pro-China organization that has assisted CCP infiltration at the grassroots level, cross-border repression, and the use of Chinese capital to influence Taiwan’s elections. The ministry cited investigations and court rulings alleging that CUPP officials received Chinese government funding and cooperated with Chinese intelligence personnel in contacting current and retired military officers.
Liu also accused the CUPP of having extensive links to organized crime. According to Criminal Investigation Bureau statistics cited by the minister, since 2010 the party has been involved in 98 organized-crime cases involving 141 people, including attempted murder, extortion, unlawful restraint, assault, fraud, and drug offenses. Liu argued that the party is effectively a criminal organization operating under the guise of a political party and has threatened the existence of the Republic of China and Taiwan’s free and democratic constitutional order.
However, the case faces a potentially difficult path in the Constitutional Court. Under the Constitutional Litigation Act, a decision to dissolve a political party requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the Constitutional Court justices. With eight justices currently serving, six votes would be required. However, three justices have consistently declined to participate in rulings, leaving the current balance at 5–3 and making the ministry’s chances of securing the required votes appear slim.
