Wu Nai-jen, DPP campaign spokesman

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) yesterday told Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan (??) to come clean on how he amassed a vast fortune in stocks and government bonds in just four years.

In a counter-attack to KMT accusations that first lady Wu Shu-Chen (???) was guilty of insider trading, DPP lawmakers said Lien had lied about not playing the stock market for the past four years because a recent property-disclosure record required of presidential candidates showed that the KMT leader had accumulated some NT$260 million worth of stocks and government bonds since 2000.

According to the reports handed over to the Central Election Commission when registering for the presidential election, Lien's movable property, including stocks, bonds and bank savings, has increased by NT$260 million over the past four years, while President Chen Shui-bian's (???) personal assets have decreased by NT$30 million.
