It has been called into question whether the NT$700 billion home-coming investment funds claimed by the DPP government is massively padded. In an immediate response, the Tsai government stated that it was not where the funds were from that mattered, but whether or not the investment projects were implemented. However, with regard to the checks issued by the government, the problem is who would be held accountable if they bounced. 

The Economics Ministry originally pledged that the home-coming investments projects would be implemented within three years, but in a press release issued yesterday, the implementation period was extended to six years. Even if the Tsai government should get re-elected, who would be held accountable if these projects fell through six years later?
