(CNA Reporters Kao Hua-chien, Lai Yu-chen, Taipei, 16th) Amid rumors that Yen Hui-hsin, the late Deputy Chief Negotiator of the Executive Yuan's Office of Trade Negotiations (OTN), faced workplace exclusion during her lifetime, public attention has turned to whether Chief Negotiator Yang Jen-ni should be temporarily reassigned. The Executive Yuan reiterated today that external committee members have initiated an investigation, and the Executive Yuan respects the investigation panel regarding all procedures, methods, and decisions.
Yen Hui-hsin passed away recently due to illness. During her tenure as Deputy Chief Negotiator, she participated in the US reciprocal tariff negotiation team. She took a leave of absence for health reasons in late September last year, resigned in early March this year, and passed away abruptly soon after. Subsequently, rumors surfaced that she had encountered workplace exclusion at the OTN, prompting the Executive Yuan to invite external committee members to conduct an investigation.
Media reported that OTN Executive Secretary Hsu Chung-chin, when questioned in the Legislative Yuan yesterday, stated he had "absolutely no recollection" of whether he was scolded by Yang Jen-ni after guiding Yen Hui-hsin to a room to rest and wait.
The Executive Yuan held a post-meeting press conference today. The media asked whether leaving Yang Jen-ni in her current position would raise concerns about witness interference and whether she would remain in her post.
Executive Yuan Spokesperson Li Hui-chih reiterated that external members of the Executive Yuan's Occupational Safety and Health Committee have launched an investigation. The investigation panel has held multiple meetings and commenced an intensive interview process. The Executive Yuan respects the investigation panel regarding decisions on relevant investigative procedures and methods. (Editor: Lin Chia-hsien) 1150416
