The Taipei mayoral election campaign has entered a fierce stage. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan will reunite with Chen Zhihan, the celebrity "curator" of the Internet, at Linjiang Street Night Market on the 15th. In this regard, writer Zhao Xiaohui said that Jiang Wanan has recently decided to team up with the curator to sweep the streets, and has intensively visited the People’s Party’s parliamentary elections and participated in the People’s Party’s online programs, which shows the structural anxiety that the votes are facing a ceiling. He intends to lock in the votes of the anti-green camp by embracing the curator and the People’s Party.

Zhao Xiaohui published an analysis today, recalling that in the 2022 Taipei mayoral election, Huang Shanshan, the former deputy mayor of Taipei City and former People's Party legislator, won more than 340,000 votes, about 25% of the vote. This year's election campaign has returned to a one-on-one blue-green duel. Xiaocao, who is mainly "anti-green", has become Jiang Wanan's line of defense against the "ocean current".

Zhao Xiaohui said bluntly, "Jiang Wanan has decided to team up with the curator to sweep the streets at the Linjiang Street Night Market on November 15. In addition, he has been running for the Kuomintang Party's parliamentary candidate in the past two days, and he also wants to appear on the "Voice of the People". This card of "beating the curator and harassing the white camp" can be called a "seven-injured punch" that is hungry for food. "

Zhao Xiaohui pointed out that Shen Boyang recently invited Internet celebrity Alisasha and honorary professors from academia to hold a HEART policy forum in an attempt to win over young people, middle-level white-collar workers and professional communities, and continue to break the circle. On the other hand, Jiang Wanan printed a "Wan'an Alert" to scare citizens, while running to find the curator who was full of foul words and had a rough image. "How panicked and short of tickets does Jiang Wanan have to rely on the curator to embolden him?"

Zhao Xiaohui further analyzed, "A large part of the votes that Jiang Wanan received in the past came from voters who were educated, Catholic, middle-class women, and those who paid attention to the image of tutors. This group of people hate being outspoken, full of hostility and swearing." Although the curator has a foothold in the voter market who "hate the DPP", in the eyes of women and middle-class intellectuals in the Taipei metropolitan area, the brand image is extremely negative and may cause Chiang to lose middle voters.

Zhao Xiaohui said bitterly, "Jiang Wanan fantasizes about taking over 'Kefen Xiaocao' completely. This may be an underestimation of Xiaocao's independence." What Xiaocao cares about is residential justice, financial discipline and openness and transparency. However, in the four years since Chiang Wanan was in power, the controversies such as the Capital City Case and the leaking of the Dome and the shielding of the consortium were not clearly explained. Now that he is in a hurry before the election, he suddenly changed to a flattering attitude of "being close to the Kuomintang Party", which makes people feel hypocritical and opportunistic. In addition, the curator's speech style is very easy to go off the rails. This pre-election campaign may make Chiang Wanan's camp tired of crisis management. "I really don't understand what kind of blind operation this is?"
