The polling day for the nine-in-one election is approaching. Last night, the Police Department integrated all police agencies across the country to launch a pre-election anti-gang operation. Among them, the gangs behind the "local collaborators" in 10 "transnational suppression" cases were investigated. They were also listed as key targets of this operation. There are Bamboo Union Gang, Tiandao League Involved with the three major gangs of the Northern Alliance Gang; in addition, a total of 15 candidates, assistants and election assistants were listed by China as Taiwan independence die-hards, thugs, and accomplices, and their personal security measures were particularly strengthened to prevent any more cases of "transnational suppression" before the election, which would affect the fairness of the election.

The Police Department stated that there are currently 10 cases of "transnational repression" under investigation. Among them, four cases have been prosecuted by the prosecutors, including the Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party, the paint-throwing case at the Kamidi Comedy Club, the attack on Indo-Pacific Strategic Think Tank CEO Akio Yabata, and the fake car accident case of comedian Huang Yihao.

Currently, there are 119 Chinese nationals listed by China as Taiwan independence die-hards, thugs, and accomplices in 12 locations. In order to avoid the occurrence of "transnational suppression" incidents, the Police Department has contacted all of them to inquire whether there are relevant security needs. In this election event, except for Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, the 14 other listed persons, including Taipei mayor candidate Shen Boyang, have both candidate and auxiliary election roles. The other 14 people, including Minister of the Interior Liu Shifang and legislator Huang Jie, all have auxiliary and election auxiliary roles. When they participate in relevant election activities, their relevant security measures will be strengthened.
