Conflict broke out when the People's Liberation Army went to Xie Longjie to submit a petition for the election of President. Both sides criticized each other for electoral manipulation and obstruction.

Taiwan United for Economic Democracy went to the KMT Tainan mayoral candidate Hsieh Long-chieh’s campaign headquarters today (11th) to lodge a complaint, calling on Hsieh to support defense drones and additional social welfare budgets. Unexpectedly, conflicts broke out with KMT city council candidates Lin Yanzhu, Tong Xiaoyun, and Li Jiarong. Both parties had their own versions of what happened at the scene. President Xie Longjie clarified that he had not coordinated with the police in advance and had not agreed to hold a press conference in front of the election. He criticized the Economic and Democratic League for using the name of the defense budget to build momentum for specific candidates. The Economic and Democratic League pointed out that the three parliamentary candidates maliciously obstructed the election and even made nonsense of the law to exert pressure, which is not a blessing for a democratic society.

General Secretary Xie Longjie pointed out that the fact that the Economic and Democratic League came to the scene to provoke provocations and continued to promote specific candidate numbers was basically to build momentum for specific candidates under the banner of national defense budget. He called on citizens to resist the behavior of "selling sheep over dogs' heads" and intended to influence the election, and also asked opponents to restrain their supporters and not use provocations as a substitute for rational discussion.

The competition expressed its gratitude to the three people who came forward to respond. Among them, Lin Yanzhu has filed a complaint for aggravated defamation and coercion, while Tong Xiaoyun and Li Jiarong have filed a complaint for coercion. The team supports the three people in safeguarding their rights in accordance with the law and will provide necessary assistance. The CCP stressed that reviewing the budget is the responsibility of legislators, that supporting national defense does not conflict with supervising the budget, and that national defense issues should not be reduced to election manipulation tools.

The Economic Association said that think tank convenor Lai Zhongqiang, Southern Taiwan Task Force Commissioner Chen Tinghao, together with National Cheng Kung University Professor Li Zhongxian of the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University Professor Wu Yirui and Tainan Sprout Secretary-General Jiang Bailun went to the Foreign Affairs University of Beijing to make a peaceful petition. They were expected to submit the submission after the meeting. Unexpectedly, before the press conference started, three parliamentary candidates used large loudspeakers to stop them and claimed that they were involved in an illegal assembly. During the process, they continued to push and interfere. Even with the members of the petition raising their hands in the air and without any contact, they actually shouted "Don't touch me."

The People's Daily pointed out that the three people advocated that in accordance with the provisions of the election strike law, no gatherings are allowed within 50 meters of the campaign headquarters, and questioned whether the police's reporting activities were legal. In order to express their demands smoothly, the petition group immediately moved to the sidewalk of the park across the street, but was still disrupted by loudspeakers.

The KMT reiterated that China continues to expand its amphibious landing operations capabilities, but the establishment of asymmetric combat capabilities of the national army is subject to budget delays. It called on Hsieh and the KMT to face up to the defense gap and not let Tainan citizens bear the risk of war. "Open your eyes and look at the elephant in the room."
