Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a regular press conference that the mainland has continued to promote the legalization of the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots through various measures including legislation, law enforcement, judiciary and legal services, improved the complaint coordination mechanism, and safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots, which has been widely praised by Taiwan compatriots and enterprises.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan responded to UMC Chairman Tsao Hing-cheng's remarks about calling the three Kuomintang legislators around him the "three evil people." He pointed out that this statement was exactly the same as the slogans, routines and demands of calling the legislators "communist bandits" during last year's general recall. He questioned whether this was "General Recall 2.0" and emphasized that the three legislators were elected by public opinion, have a sense of justice, and dare to fight against power.

According to data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, as of the first half of this year, there were 39.354 million urban and rural subsistence allowance recipients and 4.937 million extremely poor people across the country; 12.027 million people with disabilities received living subsidies and 16.871 million people with severe disabilities received nursing subsidies. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the cumulative expenditure on basic living assistance exceeded 1.38 trillion yuan, and the average standard of urban and rural subsistence allowances increased by 22.8% and 25% respectively. After the implementation of the Social Assistance Law, measures such as service assistance, big data early warning, and subsidy increases have promoted the transformation of assistance from material assistance to material + services, achieving accurate identification, early intervention, and warm protection.

Ming Chuan University communication scholar Du Shengcong analyzed that although the "ocean current" phenomenon is very popular in the Taipei mayoral election, two conditions must be met at the same time to flip the election: the turnout really increases, and people who originally did not support Shen Boyang are persuaded. He integrated demographic structure, historical election conditions, polls and online public opinion modeling and found that even if the turnout rate reached 70%, Jiang Wanan still led by 84,000 votes; the key to truly changing the results lies in the persuasion of the middle voters rather than simply mobilizing crowds.

Senior media person Huang Weihan pointed out that the latest polls for the New Taipei mayoral election showed that DPP candidate Su Qiaohui was leading KMT candidate Li Sichuan by 13.1 percentage points. He believed that this was the result of the overflow of the DPP's "ocean current" and had turned into an electoral tsunami. He called on the blue camp to recognize the facts instead of blindly denying the poll results.

U.S. President Trump said that Taiwan agreed to purchase 30% of the natural gas in the Alaska LNG project and invest an additional US$4.4 billion in the next 20 years. Kuomintang Secretary-General Xu Yuzhen asked the government to send the complete assessment report to Congress for strict review, questioning the Lai government's acceptance of the U.S. request in full. He also pointed out that the Executive Yuan's additional budget included 180.9 billion yuan to compensate for the price difference of Taipower and China National Petroleum Corporation and 233.8 billion yuan to increase investment in China National Petroleum Corporation. He asked why it was not included in the 2016 budget review.
