Regarding the reconstruction regulations, Chen Caineng told the Central News Agency reporter that due to the 0403 Hualien earthquake, some people did not trust Fu Kunqi and Xu Zhenwei’s greedy political behavior, so donations dropped sharply; but Fu Kunqi used the people’s tax money to continue his “politics of favor.” They actually used the majority in Congress to force the passage of a 15 billion yuan special budget reconstruction ordinance. The reconstruction of red and yellow buildings must be paid for by the whole people. Is it possible that there will be no earthquakes and natural disasters in Hualien in the future?

The county government then used the donated money of about 110 million yuan to purchase the affected areas of three collapsed buildings, namely Yunmen Cuidi, Platinum Double Star and Wujuwusu, based on the current value of the land announced in the year.
