The case of a 10-year-old girl who was molested and not immediately resettled in Taipei last month caused a stir. A review meeting was held at the beginning of this month. When Democratic Progressive Party member Hsu Shu-hua questioned Mayor Chiang Wanan on Monday (14th), he asked how long he had been there. Chiang responded that he had been there for an appointment. For an hour, Miu was bombarded with blatant lies. Xu Shuhua pointed out that he only stayed for 10 minutes and then left. Jiang Wanan did not dare to deny it, but argued that he had heard the report from the social worker and relevant staff first. As soon as the news came out, a large number of netizens called it an exaggeration!

In late August, Xu Shuhua and parliamentary candidate Ma Yuwen held a press conference to reveal that the mother of a girl was suspected of engaging in sex trafficking at home, and the girl was sexually molested by her mother's male client. At the end of last year, the Bei City Social Affairs Bureau received a notification and intervened. Unexpectedly, the intervention lasted for 240 days, but the girl was not forcibly placed. The girl also committed self-injury in mid-August and did not receive psychological consultation. After public opinion broke out, the Social Affairs Bureau quickly placed the girl in an emergency and took her away from her family of origin. However, they kept looking for reasons to shirk responsibility, and even mentioned that the godfather and godmother who wanted to help the girl escape from the problem family had a criminal record, which made the outside world shake their heads.

On the 4th of this month, the Jiang Municipal Government held a review meeting on child abuse cases and asked the mayor to submit a complete review report on the case within 2 weeks. Xu Shuhua asked Jiang Wanan during the municipal general inquiry on the 14th whether he was present to preside over the meeting. Jiang Wanan answered yes and said that he had been at the scene "for the previous hour." Xu Shuhua exposed the lie on the spot and criticized Jiang Wanan for clearly only staying for 10 minutes that day. After delivering his speech, he showed his face and then left. The person who really stayed at the meeting for an hour was Vice Mayor Lin Yihua. "I can't even tell how long I stayed in the meeting. How can I believe that Jiang Wanan really grasped the content of the review?"

Xu Shuhua also took out the review meeting minutes given to him by the Social Affairs Bureau. In such a serious case where screws were lost, the Social Affairs Bureau's summary only had three sentences: "Complete inter-professional exchange of opinions, follow up with the formation of a new team, and continue to actively handle child and juvenile protection cases." Xu Shuhua angrily shouted, "What is wrong with the system? Where does the responsibility lie? How to prevent the next child from being harmed in the future? Not a word! This is not a review report, just a perfunctory meeting record."

In addition, the Jiang Municipal Government announced to the public that it had proposed four major improvement plans in response to child abuse incidents, but Jiang Wanan could only name three when questioned. "I don't even know how many improvement plans there are. Did the mayor participate in the review? Does he know how the city plans to reform the child protection system? If even the mayor himself does not know, is the so-called "advanced plan" a reform proposed by the city government after careful review, or is it a temporary statement made up in the face of pressure from public opinion?"

After learning about this incident, netizens called it too exaggerated, "My own children use their privileges, and other people's children will die endlessly...", "Idiot and incompetent, step down and replace him", "Is Zhang Wanan too ridiculous?", "You actually dare to lie!", "The city government team dropped screws all over the floor", "Can I not see this person again in the next few years? I don't feel at ease living in Taipei at all." "I have read this question carefully. It is too nonsense. Every answer to the question is vain. He looks like he is in trouble. He should step down."

On the eve of the BRICS summit: Strength cannot be underestimated, but it is difficult to form a strong anti-Western alliance

On the eve of the opening of the BRICS summit, media analysis pointed out that although the BRICS group accounts for half of the world's population and 40% of its output, it is difficult to become a strong anti-Western alliance due to its loose organization, different positions of member states and lack of common vision. It is more of a platform for countries to pursue diversified diplomacy and geopolitical games.
