The Taipei mayoral election televised debate was held on the 31st, and the Twin Cities Forum and cross-strait relations became the focus.
The Taipei mayoral election televised debate started today (31st). During the cross-examination session, the current mayor Chiang Wanan unsurprisingly brought up the issue of the Twin Cities Forum for offense and defense. As a result, DPP candidate Shen Boyang brought out what Chiang Wanan himself said when he was elected mayor last time, and he was called back!
One of the questions Jiang Wanan asked Shen Boyang today was whether the Shuangcheng Forum should continue to be held. He mentioned that Shen Boyang once said in the past that "the Shuangcheng Forum is a breach of infiltration" and asked Shen Boyang to think carefully about whose mouth this sentence came from. In addition, Jiang Wanan also asked, "China's missile attack will be of great help to us", "The general distribution of 10,000 is the Communist Party's approach to impoverish Taiwan first and then unify it", "If it weren't for Operation Blue Bird, would TSMC be able to expand its global presence?", "I would rather eat it to death." "One set", "The Republic of China is a quasi-colonial system and needs to be resolved through the constitution", "We cannot be a money-splitting boy today, every county and city can spend 10 billion or 20 billion", "I hope there will be an independence referendum in Taipei in the future", etc. Who said these words?
Shen Boyang responded: "I think there are two things. The first thing is that Mayor Jiang is obviously very interested in my past and dug up a lot of my posts from 10 or even 15 years ago. If I explain them one by one, it will take about half an hour. The first thing. The second thing, Except for the Twin Cities Forum, most of the things you just talked about are related to the central government. If you are so interested in this system, whether it is a general distribution of 10,000, or the constitutional amendment, I still suggest that you come back as a legislator and then I become the mayor, which may be faster."
Shen Boyang continued: "I want to go back and talk about something related to municipal administration, which is the Twin Cities Forum. I have always emphasized that when hosting the Twin Cities Forum, we cannot succumb to threats from the other side, so if we jointly disrupt Taiwan today, under these conditions and political prerequisites, at this time, the two cities The City Forum should think again. Then I want to ask you, do you know who said this? I will tell you the answer directly, this is what you said! So, it was mentioned in the parliament, even during the Ke Wenzhe period, that if there is such a situation, it should be stopped temporarily. "
Finally, he said bluntly: "For me, many things can still be exchanged. For example, there are sports stations in Shanghai, and I also mentioned sports stations. If there are no political preconditions and no security concerns, I think it is good for the two countries to communicate on this matter! But if you think you are communicating with good intentions today, in the end But we have the biggest military exercise in recent times. This military exercise happened when you came back from the Twin Cities Forum. So this is not a matter of making excuses. This is an issue of national security. I would like to remind you that instead of looking at my past remarks, it is better to face our current municipal affairs."

During the Taipei mayoral election debate, Shen Boyang questioned Jiang Wanan's inconsistent standards in handling food safety cases and mentioned the Baolin Tea House case. Jiang Wanan claimed that the city government "makes it impossible for Baolin to escape", but was refuted by public opinion. The business owner has ceased operations and fines have not been paid, leaving the victims' families with no way to seek compensation.

People's Party founding chairman Ko Wenzhe expressed his views on the televised debate between Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and Chiang Wanan. Ke Wenzhe said that Jiang Wanan should take advantage of his current position and explain his political achievements calmly, and emphasized that municipal work is like a doctor saving people, and that responsibility should be the priority and there is no need to pay too much attention to thanks.

TVBS and Sanli, the organizers of the Taipei Mayor’s Televised Debate, confirmed that they will provide media questions to the candidates in advance. DPP candidate Shen Boyang said in an interview that he had indeed received the question the day before the debate, but it was unclear why the organizer made this decision.

The founding meeting of the campaign headquarters of DPP Changhua County Mayor candidate Chen Suyue was held in Changhua City on the evening of the 31st. A large number of people poured into the scene, and nearly 10,000 seats were filled instantly, creating a warm atmosphere.

During the debate, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan claimed that former mayor Ko Wenzhe was being pursued by the Democratic Progressive Party, which aroused strong doubts from veteran media person Chen Huiwen. Chen Huiwen criticized Chiang Wanan for "waking up from a big dream" only 28 days before the election. It is really sad and disgraceful to bow to corruption for votes.
