challenged Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) to a televised debate over the Taipei Dome impasse.
In an interview with radio host Clara Chou (周玉蔻), Chao accused the Taipei City Government of imposing seven “illegal” safety standards on the Dome and said that Ko had been deceived by his officials.
He said he had not been given a chance to meet with Ko since January last year, adding that he would like to hold a televised debate with the mayor over the legitimacy of the safety standards.
He said several “influential” individuals had approached Farglory with an offer to help resolve the impasse, and that they all claimed that they did so on Ko’s behalf.
