Our Party’s [i.e. the KMT] newest rules prohibit Party members from being corrupt and buying elections; taking people out to eat and giving gifts aren’t allowed, and even covert ways of buying elections, such as providing services or relief (money) under someone else’s name, (are also not allowed)…

Oh? Your Party has already “repented and made a clean break with its past wrongdoings?”

What do you mean, “repented and made a clean break with past wrongdoings?”
