Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan posted a post on Facebook on the evening of the 3rd, criticizing Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's 2014 article about drugs. Immediately, a large number of netizens left messages and criticized Chiang. Chiang's Facebook page deleted the post, prompting the master of news communication, Song Xuewei, to denounce why he kept deleting it. In this regard, scholar Li Zhongxian analyzed the reason why Jiang Wanan’s Facebook has only deleted messages but not articles so far. He may have wanted to create a situation where the mayor was bullied by cybercriminals.

Li Zhongxian said on Facebook today (4th) that it is one thing that Jiang Wanan is weak, but the question is, are his staff really that weak? Nowadays, many people are leaving messages to wash Jiang Wanan's face. In the end, it is easy to be led from "(Jiang Wanan) policy discussion has a problem" to "the mayor was bullied by the cyber army."

Li Zhongxian said that in this way, there is no need to talk about all capabilities, policies, and visions, and it returns to the most familiar blue-green duel. It is not difficult to find that when the blue camp realizes that rational policy debates are not easy to fight, it turns the battlefield into "we are being bullied." Therefore, everyone should not think that the blue camp is so stupid, and the comments currently being hyped are all mobilized by the DPP.

Other netizens also joined the discussion after seeing this. Some people thought that Facebook could restrict messages but Jiang Wanan didn't lock it. He obviously wanted people to scold him. Others pointed out that the blue camp should be using the smear tactics of blue and green duel, and they couldn't succeed this time.
