Tips

history

The charge of taking NT$63 million to help a China Steel contractor went back and forth between courts and was still being retried in 2024. The count settled in 2018 was 财产来源不明罪, holding wealth he could not explain: two years.

culture

Taiwanese names are conventionally romanized in Wade-Giles or Tongyong Pinyin, so 林益世 appears in English-language press as 'Lin Yi-shih' rather than the Mandarin Hanyu Pinyin 'Lin Yishi'.
