Chiang has four policies in dealing with the oil scandal, which are to reinforce the management of food sources, to set up a three-level quality control system, to utilize information communication technology in integrating food management and to diversify the management of different oil products.[7] Chiang was sworn in on 22 October 2014.[8]
