KMT New Taipei Mayor candidate Li Sichuan recently established the New Taipei Hakka Support Association. Party Chairman Zheng Liwen attended the platform. It was rare for the two to speak in the same frame. However, the most discussed interaction at the event was not the interaction between the two people, but Fan Jiangbinghuang, the honorary president of Li Sichuan's Hakka Supporters Association, who revealed that when Li Sichuan was the deputy mayor of Taipei City, he helped Huida settle in Taipei's Beishike Park, making him a "vested interest" because his construction project was nearby. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar in public opinion, and many netizens shouted that the inspection unit should investigate.

Li Sichuan established the New Taipei Hakka Supporters Association last Saturday (3rd). Fan Jiang Binghuang, the honorary president of the support association who is also the chairman of Baihong Construction, came on stage to give a speech and praised Li Sichuan's past political achievements as deputy, especially in helping Huida settle in Beijing. Shiko said, "We are keeping Huida in Taipei City, which everyone around the world is fighting for. But it can stay in Taipei City because we, Mr. Chuan, coordinated with Shin Kong Life Insurance to give up that piece of land, so Huida can stay there."

But then Fan Jiang Binghuang blurted out: "Let me tell you secretly, I am Huida over there... I am a vested interest! Because my construction project is right next to Huida! It is only a 5-minute walk away!" After saying this, the scene burst into applause and cheers, and Li Sichuan and Zheng Liwen, who were standing nearby, also applauded with everyone.

After the exposure of this footage, public opinion heatedly discussed, "Is this a self-exposure of collusion between government and business?", "Isn't this the best verification of collusion between government and business? Two naive old men and a giantess, New Taipei City is hopeless", "Should the investigation investigate it?", "Really treating the citizens as idiots", "He doesn't think there is anything wrong with this conversation at all, because they are used to it", "There are a lot of people cheering below, don't they know what relative deprivation means?", "Sure enough, builders are good friends", "Collusion between government and business has become commonplace", "In fact, I feel that Li Sichuan is a bit embarrassed", "I don't even act!", "Wow! The builders revealed that they are vested interests, and they are still clapping their hands, how sad must it be?", "They don't even avoid suspicion".

Open Questions

  • Will the inspection unit intervene to investigate this incident?
  • How will Li Sichuan's campaign team respond to external doubts?

The Kuomintang dug out Shen Boyang's old article to attack its stance on drugs. Jiang Wanan followed suit and posted an article that was criticized by netizens, and doctors and nurses condemned it.

The Kuomintang dug up an article on drug prevention and control that Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, published in the "Think Forum" more than ten years ago, and took it out of context to accuse him of condoning drug abuse. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan of the Kuomintang followed up and criticized it in a Facebook post. However, it triggered an influx of hundreds of thousands of messages, many of which were condemned by medical staff as ignorant and evil. Jiang Wanan's team called the comments a green camp cyber army and a robot account. Shi Jingzhong, a famous doctor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at National Taiwan University, ironically made netizens laugh with his AI-fit photo.
