You argued that putting the KMT-run businesses into a trust is inconsistent with the principle that political parties cannot run commercial businesses, as the KMT will still gain profit from these businesses after they are put into a trust.
The Cabinet has recently completed its draft version of the Political Party Law and a draft for a law dealing with assets "obtained inappropriately" by political parties.
The KMT's draft version of the Political Party Law is different from the Cabinet's in that it would allow political parties to hold stakes of no more than 40 percent in a business, while prohibiting them from running a commercial business directly.
In the Cabinet's draft, political parties would be banned from running and investing in commercial businesses.
