With 20 days left before the election, Fan Guowei, the Kuomintang candidate for mayor of Zhudong Town in Hsinchu County, said today (8th) that false rumors and smear campaigns against his past role as the person in charge of enterprise registration have recently been circulated in the local area. He issued a lawyer's statement through Boyi International Law Firm. The statement also listed a list of civil and administrative cases related to the enterprise, emphasizing that elections should return to rational competition and do not mislead villagers through illegal means. Any illegal behavior will be held accountable in accordance with the law and will not be tolerated.

Fan Guowei said that elections can be competitive and have different positions, and the public is welcome to review their political opinions and performance, but competition should have a bottom line. In response to the fact that the outside world deliberately hyped up the civil and administrative judicial disputes of "Taifa Construction Co., Ltd." more than 10 years ago, which it served as the registration person in charge, with the intention of misleading the public and affecting the election, the statement provided a list of civil and administrative cases related to the company.

In order to avoid losing everything, Fan Guowei specifically clarified that since announcing his candidacy for Zhudong Town Mayor in 2025, the company has not contracted any government public projects, and relevant records can be checked on the government procurement website.

Fan Guowei reiterated that freedom of speech should be based on facts and should not be a tool for malicious attacks. Lawyer Ye Jun, director of Boyi International Law Firm, has been appointed to make a statement on his behalf and actively collect evidence. If necessary, he will resort to legal means to defend his innocence. He called on voters to stop rumors from the wise and hoped that all walks of life would work together to protect a clean and rational election atmosphere in Zhudong.

Fan Guowei also invited Zhudong Township and the team to plan the "Wei! Fun with You" series of activities. The first "enthusiastic launch" of the parent-child theater was kicked off by the "Gift Box Theater". It will be at Datong Elementary School from 2 to 4 pm today (8th). An adventure story that combines magic, shaped balloons and acrobatic stunts will take children into the circus and transform into a member of the circus. In addition, "Happy Points" will be held at China Petroleum Plaza on November 15th, and "Surprise Explosion" will be held at Gongwu Park on November 22nd.
