The Kuomintang criticized the DPP for smearing Ke Zhien's social welfare symposium, saying that the Green Camp maliciously spread rumors to create confrontation

There was news from the Democratic Progressive Party's Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Ruilong's camp that supporters' association cadres and local contacts were rumored to be "supporting her" because of a polite meeting with the opponent's camp through friends. The Kuomintang's Kaohsiung City Party Headquarters denounced the green camp's old smear tactics for reappearing. It is shameful to speak anonymously and spread rumors.

Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien recently had a discussion with a social welfare group. Afterwards, he was questioned for taking photos of some Lai Ruilong cadres and then spreading "support"? Some local people even said that they "lamented that they were eaten into pieces"! There were also reports that the public welfare group's statement was deliberately manipulated to "slap Ke Zhien in the face."

​ Lanying emphasized that in fact, Ke Zhien’s social welfare symposium document never mentioned the so-called Lai Ruilong cadres from beginning to end, and never claimed to be supported by Green Camp cadres. He was simply invited to conduct policy exchanges and take photos with multiple social welfare groups in Kaohsiung. How can he be said to be "supported by publicity" and "eat tofu"? To denounce the Green Camp is simply a political operation with a guilty conscience and no money.

​ Lanying further criticizes those who are interested in maliciously twisting the description of the charity group as a "slap in Ke Zhien's face." Interpreting the relevant statement, it emphasizes that the event is "purely a policy exchange, not an election campaign or political mobilization." It reiterates that "social welfare does not distinguish between blue and green, and public welfare has no color. We sincerely invite people from all political parties and non-party members to participate." It believes that the statement is an objective explanation to the outside world, and is consistent with Ke Zhien's position that charity and public welfare do not distinguish between blue and green.

​ The blue camp questioned the green camp’s long-term control of Kaohsiung by the new trend, which has led to many associations facing political pressure to take a stand and organize support clubs. A few days ago, a congressman kicked out the charity association and was forced to send personnel to join the Lai Ruilong support club.

For this reason, Ke Zhien called on the outside world to respect everyone who invests in public welfare, and should not let political stance override the welfare of citizens. Unexpectedly, his rational speech was maliciously misaligned by certain media and green camps, and they interpreted the neutral and objective statement of the public welfare group as a "slap in Ke Zhien's face", thereby creating opposition and illusion.

​ The Blue Camp denounced the green camp’s one-stop smear method of “first making anonymous remarks to blame, and then misplaced responses to spread rumors.” It not only tramples on the bottom line of democracy, but also maliciously consumes public welfare groups that have been on the front line for many years and care for the disadvantaged regardless of party affiliation. It is disgusting!
