Wu Jingyi analyzes the Taipei mayoral election: Shen Boyang's "ocean current" hits Chiang Wanan's defense line

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, has recently held many outdoor activities, attracting a large number of supporters and forming an "ocean current". Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan has been involved in controversy recently. Famous commentator Grace Woo analyzed the current Taipei mayoral election campaign and said that the current direction of Taipei's election campaign has completely changed. Chiang Wanan's seemingly solid air force defense line was completely impacted by the "ocean current" brought by Shen Boyang.

Wu Jingyi said that the content of Shen Boyang's discussion was clear and close to the public. For example, Wang Weizhong's interview had more than one million views, and his real "breaking of the circle" aroused curiosity and heated discussions. In contrast, Jiang Wanan's online voice was almost drowned in negative issues. Issues such as the nutritious lunch controversy, the "Rat Rebellion" in the Dome, the privileges of his son's exchange student, and the food poisoning of nutritious lunches on campus are mostly media reports and questioning clips. There are almost no positive opinions. Public opinion criticized Jiang Wanan for only continuing to "ask A and answer B."

Wu Jingyi pointed out that Shen Boyang's high-traffic videos were mostly "character interviews" and "cross-border conversations", which successfully transformed him from the single label of "national security scholar" to "an urban governor with modern technological solutions." The videos related to Jiang Wanan were mostly "crisis response" and "policy explanation" clips, which were often accompanied by negative reviews and controversy, which reflected the two men's different air combat strategies.

Wu Jingyi compared the differences between Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan in their online reputation management. Shen's camp mostly took the initiative in the online battlefield, setting up a digital platform called "Mayor, Listen Up" to directly collect public opinion. They frequently participated in radio and celebrity programs, targeting middle voters and young people. Channels included radio, social platforms, YouTube host channels, etc. The effect was to increase personal visibility, add positive points, create topic discussions, and form an "ocean current" momentum.

But now Jiang Wanan not only has to face the "An Mouse Rebellion", but he has also fallen into the dilemma of being "as timid as a mouse". Faced with doubts that dare not accept an exclusive interview, even the blue camp is expecting Jiang Wanan to quickly appear on Zhao Shaokang and Wang Weizhong's show. Jiang Wanan's team is now truly exposed What is wrong is not a single mistake in the air war, but the arrogance and laziness of long-term rulers. They think that having the mayor's position, administrative resources, and media plugging the microphone every day means they have the ability to communicate; they think that being ahead in the polls means they don't have to reintroduce themselves to voters.

Wu Jingyi emphasized: "Now, Shen Boyang is working hard to break the circle; but Jiang Wanan is still hiding in the window and thinking he is beautiful. How this political star who was once expected by the Kuomintang to challenge 2028 was washed away by an "ocean current" in 2026 and then hid, is simply a joke. "
