Lu Xiuyan supported Jiang Wanan and shouted "little shrimp vs. big whale". She was accused of "2028 transfer station" and responded like this

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan took over as chairperson of Chiang Wanan’s campaign headquarters, and Democratic Progressive Party legislator Zhuang Ruixiong said that the capital battle in the Taipei mayoral election is not a transfer station for any KMT big shot to arrange the next stop in 2028. In an interview in the afternoon, Lu said word for word, "Please return to the 2026 general election." He also pointed out that this is an asymmetric election battle, and the KMT is an unarmed little shrimp against the ruling party's whale.

Lu Xiuyan attended the press conference announced by Chiang Wanan's campaign headquarters cadres in the afternoon. After the meeting, she was asked that President Lai Qingde is the honorary chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, and Lu Xiuyan is the general chairman of the campaign. Does this mean that she will be more proactive and strategic than Lai Qingde? Lu Xiuyan said that elections have different organizational forms and different positions. It depends on how the candidates assign roles and responsibilities. Just like some companies have a chairman system and some companies have a general manager system.

But Lu Xiuyan said that another thing worth observing is that this is an election with asymmetric resources. "We are small shrimps fighting against big whales." Even if the president does not hold a position, everyone can imagine the resources and national energy that can be used. In addition, as the party chairman, "the whole party will fight against one person, Jiang Wanan." The Kuomintang is almost a defenseless little shrimp, but with determination and justice, the little shrimp can still defeat the big whale. "We will win the election, but it will be very, very hard in the process."

She is no stranger to Taipei. She is from the north. In her previous job and as a legislator for 20 years, she spent half of her time in Taipei. In addition, she has run for elections and auxiliary elections many times. Moreover, all politicians now hold many county and city positions, including Lai Qingde and Tsai Ing-wen. I believe they will have some understanding of the counties and cities where they hold positions. "So do we." As long as you have love, determination and go all out, you can do it and you will definitely achieve your goal.

As for what Zhuang Ruixiong said, the capital battle in the Taipei mayoral election is not a transfer station for any KMT big shot to arrange the next stop in 2028. Lu Xiuyan said word by word, "Please come back for the 2026 general election."
