Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently arranged to be interviewed by People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang and media personality Zhao Shaokang on related programs, but was criticized by the outside world for still staying in the stratosphere and failing to truly step out of the existing support circle. In response to this, Jiang Wanan asked in an interview today: "In addition to TVBS, Sanli is also hosting this debate, so Sanli is also in my stratosphere?"
Jiang Wanan has recently arranged interviews for different programs one after another, but the outside world has questioned whether the program selection is still biased towards a specific political stance, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of "breaking the circle". The media asked today that the outside world thinks that he appeared on Huang Guochang or Zhao Shaokang's program, and it seems that he is still in the stratosphere. Jiang Wanan did not directly respond to the selection criteria of the program's invitation. Instead, he turned the topic to the upcoming TV debate and asked, "This debate will be hosted by Sanli in addition to TVBS, so Sanli is also in my stratosphere?"
In addition to media interview arrangements, the recent legislative committee committee arrangements also intersect with Taipei mayoral election issues. After Jiang Wanan proposed the idea of relocating Songshan Airport a few days ago, the Kuomintang legislators arranged for the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Transportation to make special reports on related issues; in addition, drug issues were also included in the Legislative Yuan's discussion. Since related issues have also appeared in the Taipei mayoral election campaign recently, whether the legislators' planning has become an extension of assisting Chiang Wanan's policy issues has also attracted attention.
