[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan issued an article late at night on the 3rd late night talking about anti-drug issues, questioning the DPP’s Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang’s past advocacy of following the example of some countries and providing drug users with drugs and clean needles in community centers. He emphasized that "there is no room for ambiguity in the fight against drugs" and even bluntly stated that the entry of drugs into schools and communities is a red line that must not be crossed. Unexpectedly, the anchor Xu Guiya immediately posted the contents of the Legislative Yuan communique in the message area to counterattack, saying that Jiang Wanan "is the proposer", which aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Jiang Wanan stated on Facebook that he supports the police's comprehensive drug investigation, and also supports schools at all levels to deepen anti-drug education, as well as cross-unit cooperation such as social welfare, health and psychological counseling. However, this does not mean that drugs should be glorified or find excuses for drug users. He also named Shen Boyang's idea of "establishing a community center to provide drugs and clean needles" and questioned which community should be located if relevant measures are really to be promoted and whether the citizens will accept it. At the same time, he emphasized that he was "warning of dangers" rather than creating panic.

However, shortly after Jiang Wanan’s article was exposed, anchor Xu Guiya wrote directly in the message area, “Everyone is welcome to copy and paste.” She also pulled out the content of the 2021 “Legislative Yuan Gazette” and pointed out that it mentioned that “methadol replacement therapy is used for heroin” "Due to addiction treatment", "Establishing a friendly treatment environment" and "Improving the accessibility and friendliness of relevant treatment resources", etc., and then pointed out that one of the proposers at the time was Jiang Wanan, and regurgitated "Proposer: Jiang Wanan", which was full of gunpowder.

Xu Guiya's message quickly attracted the attention of many netizens. Not only did they express, "I'm embarrassed Wan An," "It seems that Mr. Yin didn't warm up to you about this question first," and "Hey, aren't you the proposer?" Others directly copied and pasted the relevant content and reposted it. The contrast between the contents of the Legislative Yuan's communiqué extracted by Xu Guiya and Jiang Wanan's post has once again sparked discussions on anti-drug policy, methadone substitution treatment and harm reduction measures.
