Last year, the then KMT Taipei City Party Committee Chairman Huang Lujin-ru and others were investigated for being involved in "death co-signing" and "ghost co-signing". The blue camp launched an operation to siege the Beijing inspection. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan also came to support, and was criticized for taking the lead in breaking the law and knowing the law. More than a year after the incident, a current police officer reconstructed the situation on the Internet and his inner thoughts as a front-line grassroots police force. He pointed out that Jiang Wanan was a person who would choose to harm a small civil servant for the sake of the political party or even personal interests. The post was exposed and sparked a heated discussion.
At the beginning of 2025, a wave of general recalls was launched. In order to counter this citizen-initiated movement, the Kuomintang launched a recall of DPP legislators. However, a large number of phantom signatures mixed with dead people’s signatures and collective plagiarism of personal information were revealed. Many blue-camp grassroots party workers and youth teams were searched, and the Kuomintang began to bombard the green-camp government for judicial persecution.
It was not until the evidence in the hands of the prosecutors pointed to the high-level officials of the Lanyingbei City Party Headquarters, including Huang Lv Jinru, that they conducted a raid to search and interview Huang Lv Jinru and others. The then KMT Chairman Zhu Lilun imitated the People's Party and launched the "Chongbei Prosecution". On April 17, 2025, he called on party officials, representatives of the public, and supporters to gather outside the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office to protest political pursuits and unfair justice.
At around 7 o'clock that night, Jiang Wanan appeared at the protest site in Beijing, triggering an uproar in public opinion. Since the area around Beiquan is a "prohibited area for assemblies and parades" according to law, the siege by the crowd is an illegal assembly. However, Jiang Wanan, the mayor and the top officer of the Beiquan police, came to the scene to express support. He even claimed with an upright voice, "I come today as an 'individual, a citizen, and a father of three children.' I am responsible for my personal actions."
Now, more than a year after the incident, a policeman posted on Threads, reconstructing the situation at that time from the perspective of a frontline police officer, "Everyone has their own opinions on Jiang Wanan's municipal capabilities. What I am going to talk about in this article is not his municipal capabilities. Of course, I believe that normal people can see the absurdity of Taipei City now. What I want to talk about is Jiang Wanan. An's character and views on things. At about 5 pm on April 17, 2025, the Kuomintang called on the people to go to the Beijing Inspection Bureau to protest and criticize the government with slogans such as "Fight Dictatorship, Stand Up". It was at this time that I was about to get off work and suddenly received a duty notice to support the Beijing Inspection Bureau. "
The original PO recalled: "I was very tired at the time, but because CKS was short of people, the police station ordered all branches to provide support, so I took a police bus to go there. When we arrived at the scene, the iron fence had been erected, and we were behind the fence, with our backs to the Beijing Inspection Bureau, facing the people who insulted us and the government, and remained silent. Although I am able to ignore irrational people because of my professionalism, my soul still whispers to myself, 'I feel very uncomfortable when I suffer unwarranted malice from others.'"
"Jiang Wanan arrived at about 7:30. Around this time was the most serious time of mass conflict. Before he came, the people in front kept scolding us and saying that Jiang Wanan would come soon. There were also other Kuomintang leaders who gave orders loudly. From where I stood, I couldn't see when Jiang Wanan entered the venue or where he entered from, but from the front of me, From the beginning, the people stood and shouted, and then they suddenly stepped forward and made direct physical contact with the police. I knew that Jiang Wanan was coming. He spoke some words with a microphone behind me and then left. After he left, some KMT legislators and others took turns performing. After that, the crowd gradually dispersed. It was already about 21 o'clock, and I was really tired."
The original PO continued: "At first, I was quite opposed to and confused about the motivations of this protest. After Jiang Wanan arrived and I searched for his speech, I felt even more painful. The reason is that he is the municipal chief, and even the police chief is his subordinate. Such a mayor does not make my work smoother. Instead, for evil political purposes, he supports things that are completely wrong in law, logic, and theory. The Kuomintang is pursuing illegal cases. Calling on irrational people is the first mistake; calling the government a dictatorship in order to incite hatred is the second mistake; Jiang Wanan chose to support illegality or law-abiding; this is the third mistake; and the waste of police force to maintain security because the masses gathered illegally is the fourth mistake; Jiang Wanan took the microphone and chose to say some vague remarks after arriving at the scene, but did not ask people not to gather beside the Beijing Prosecutor's Office in violation of the law, which is the fifth mistake."
"Every action of Jiang Wanan hurt me. Although I am just a small citizen, what I want to say is that I think he is not a fool. He knew which actions would hurt me, and he chose to hurt me every time. I still remember that before that day, there was news that the Kuomintang was going to call on the masses to rush to Beijing for inspection. Soon after, Jiang Wanan said that he would arrive. I really I can’t believe it, because I think he knew it was completely illegal (of course his words and actions after he arrived proved this), but he chose to show up to support. He knew that this illegal gathering would cause pressure on the police and abuse of police force, but he chose not to ask the people to disperse. I will condemn anyone who is my mayor.”
The original PO said, "I hope that a mayor's character is that regardless of his political party's image, he can support the city's kind people and responsible civil servants with a high-spirited attitude, because only in this way can chaos be brought to an end, and order and correct principles can be upheld, just like what Zhang Mazi said is 'fairness'. I hope that a mayor's concept of things can be both legal and moral. We must give citizens a reasonable explanation so that they can accept and understand it. We must appeal to the public for correct ideas even before many things happen, instead of inciting the masses to call the government a dictatorship. Strange, isn’t the Taipei City Government the government? In addition to handling the KMT’s illegal cases, the BJC also has various people’s crimes to deal with. Why doesn’t the mayor order the people to disband to protect the BJC?”
"Because this incident makes me very distrustful of Jiang Wanan's character and ideas, because it's not that he doesn't understand, but after he understands, for himself, or for the interests of the party, at all stages of this obviously wrong matter, he chose to support the irrational masses, chose to support illegal behavior, and also chose to hurt me as a small civil servant."
In the end, the original PO said bluntly, "The main focus of the KMT's rally is the DPP's control of the judiciary to suppress the KMT. Although I don't know all the verdicts of politicians in recent years, I can confirm that not all the KMT's lawsuits are guilty, and not all the DPP's lawsuits are innocent. It is necessary to explain and deal with it carefully. If it is not there, it will not be there. If it is there, it will be there. Is it difficult to have such a concept? I don’t want to be popular, and I don’t know where the article can be spread. I just hope that there will be more people with normal intelligence in this society, so that our country can become better and everyone can be kinder. "
The exposure of the post attracted tens of thousands of likes. "You can definitely post something like 'Mayor, I don't want to do this anymore!'" "He is not just brainless, this is a despicable operation." "I remember this incident. I was very angry at the time. How could a city chief have no concept of the rule of law and add unnecessary burdens to the front line of maintaining law and order." "I also remember this incident. In the past, Jiang Wanan's impression on me has always been that of gentleness. He is polite and a relatively young and intellectual representative of the Kuomintang. But since that time when he, as the mayor of Taipei, expressed his support for what I thought was illegal behavior, my opinion of him has completely changed." "That's very good. After he said that he was not the mayor that night, I never thought of him as the mayor again."
