On the 6th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, accompanied by Blue Committee member Wang Hongwei, North City Council Vice Speaker Ye Linchuan and others, went to the Liaoning night market to sweep the streets to pray for votes. When passing by the dumpling shop "Yuyi Village" with a promotional sign in support of DPP candidate Shen Boyang, he and his supporters shouted Chiang Wanan's election slogan outside the store. The exposure of the picture triggered heated public opinion. The store owner confessed that he felt scared, and later Blue and White supporters gathered in groups to attack the store. However, Jiang Wanan has not apologized yet. When interviewed today (8th), he asked, "Why don't other stores do this?" He was criticized for criticizing the store and was criticized by the Internet.

Last Friday night, when Jiang Wanan and his party passed by the Youtai Village Dumpling Shop on Liaoning Street in Zhongshan District, they saw the "Ocean Current" sign posted outside. They stopped and walked into the store to "say hello." A large number of accompanying supporters shouted slogans such as "Jiang Wanan's frozen garlic" and "Our Mayor Jiang Wanan" at the door of the store. The footage was exposed and was criticized by the Internet as bullying the store that supports candidates from different camps. The head of Youyi Village later admitted on Threads that he saw a large number of people surrounding the door and shouting loudly that night. The scene was like a "gangster siege" and made people feel frightened. Subsequently, Blue and White started to go online, and the store was washed away with one-star negative reviews. Another village was forced to temporarily close the iron gate yesterday (7th).

Despite the growing public opinion, Jiang Wanan still has not apologized. He only said that he was embarrassed if street sweeping caused business problems, but the so-called "camping" or "bullying" were all misunderstandings. When being interviewed this morning when he attended the event for the establishment of the presidential election of fellow party member Chen Bingfu, Jiang Wanan also asked: "In the past few days, when we were sweeping the streets in various places to ask for votes, this was not the first time we encountered stores that supported our opponents. So we interacted with the stores politely... If our supporters are going to fight and abuse, then why don't we do the same when we encounter other stores that support our opponents?"

As soon as these words came out, the anger on the Internet further exploded, "Reviewing the person who was bullied, he is really a standard bully", "Is Zhang Wanan reviewing the store?", "Super bullying remarks, I feel sick all over, it's like asking "Why doesn't he bully others and bully you?"", "Standard bullying speech, it is indeed a KMT dignitary who said it I don’t think there is anything wrong with saying this.”, “I was dining in Youyi Village, and Chiang Kai-shek supporters surrounded the door shouting slogans and whining. I felt like I was being sent to war and being bullied.” “A bunch of people are going to get a one-star negative review and say they didn’t go to war?”, “Not only are we rude, but we don’t know how to behave. Even if we are not your supporters, we are still your citizens! ”, “Arrogant and arrogant, only cares about himself and not others.”

Jiang Wanan’s Facebook was also bombarded with comments such as, “So Master Wanan admits that he bullies businesses, this is a proper attitude of the powerful class”, “Jiang Bao! The mayor takes the lead in bullying Taipei citizens”, “What’s the difference between shouting in front of the store and the Red Guards when going out to store?”, “Brother Zhang Wanan, you can stop treating the people who support you as such. Are you being stupid and cheating?", "You think it's safe because you have too many tickets, don't you? I'm not sorry if I go to the store!", "The perpetrator reviews the victim, the mayor who bullies the citizens", "It's obvious that Jiang Wanan led the crowd to invade the door, no matter how warm and gentle the explanations given by others are hypocritical, disrespect is disrespect!"

Open Questions

  • Will the store take legal action in the future?
  • Will Jiang Wanan’s team adjust the way of street sweeping interaction in the future?
