[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] The "Taipei Mayoral Candidate Shen Boyang Academic Support Association" initiated by Taiwanese academic circles held an inaugural meeting on the 8th. About 300 people were present. One of the founders, Emeritus Professor Zhou Wanyao of the Department of History of National Taiwan University, said that the support group was spontaneously organized by the academic community, with nearly 1,300 signatories, symbolizing that the academic community has gathered into a "vast ocean current" and it is time to turn Taipei around.

This morning (9th), writer Ku Ling posted on Facebook: "Nearly 1,300 scholars have signed a petition to support Shen Boyang. This time, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's camp will not dare to follow suit, because he may not even be able to find 120 of them, unless they also use the same method of 'copying the roster' when the Kuomintang was dismissed last year."

Yesterday, about 300 people came to the forum for exchanges. Seven people including academicians of Academia Sinica Li Wenxiong, Chen Lingjin, Du Zhengsheng, Wang Huijun, Li Decai, Wu Maokun, and Lin Liqiong attended the forum to support the forum. Professor Lin Yiren from the Museum of Beijing University of Arts and Sciences, Professor Chen Penong from the Department of Engineering at National Taiwan University, and the Senior Social Labor and Welfare Research Institute at National Chung Cheng University. Five interdisciplinary young scholars, Zhou Yueqing, a researcher at the Research Center, Peng Paulo, an associate researcher at the Institute of Sociology, Academia Sinica, and Li Meijun, an associate researcher at the Institute of Ethnology, asked questions and had a dialogue based on the "HEART" (space, empowerment, companionship, resilience, time) political views proposed by Shen Boyang in the form of a forum.

Zhou Wanyao, who was in charge of the opening, said that Shen Boyang is an excellent scholar and an intellectual in Hong Kong. The municipal planning and prospects he proposed make people feel his intentions and reassure the citizens, and the "ocean current" he set off has a positive and far-reaching impact. Young people in Taiwan have good examples to learn and imitate. Different from the selfishness, self-centeredness, confusion of right and wrong, and underestimation of culture and art seen in the past, which have caused serious harm to Taiwan, the positive and warm current has brought society back.

House Democratic leader expresses support for impeachment of Hegseth: He must step down

The Democratic Party won a big victory in the U.S. midterm elections, taking control of the Senate and House of Representatives. Jefferies, the Democratic minority leader in the House of Representatives, is expected to become the speaker of the House of Representatives and expressed "absolute support" in impeaching Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his power and undermining national security. Republican Congressman Massie plans to introduce an impeachment resolution as soon as the 9th. The Democrats hold 254 seats in the House of Representatives, exceeding the 218-seat threshold required to pass articles of impeachment, but they still lack a two-thirds majority in the Senate and need to win support from Republicans.
