Chiang Wanan said that the three legislators in Taipei City are very good in his mind. They have a strong sense of justice and dare to fight against power. More importantly, they were elected into the National Assembly by voters one vote after another. They also experienced a general recall last year. Voters' votes allowed them to stay in the National Assembly. Now they are called evil people by Cao Xingcheng. This is the same slogan, routine and the same appeal as last year's recall calling them communist bandits. Isn’t this the Great Recall 2.0?

Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters inauguration meeting, well-known host Cai Kangyong personally attended the event to support. Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China, said that safeguarding unity and opposing "Taiwan independence" is the common will of all Chinese people. He accused Shen Boyang and Tsai Kangyong of making money from China while supporting Taiwan independence and being "two-faced people." The Mainland Affairs Council emphasized Taiwan's freedom of elections and China threatened voters' right to choose.

As the race for mayor of Taipei heats up, scholar Li Zhongxian pointed out that China not only opposes Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang, but also tries its best to prevent his election. He believes that China's interference in Taiwan's elections is not at the level of an election campaign, but a national security issue that must be strictly investigated by national security agencies. He also emphasized that the biggest challenge to Taiwan has always been China's annexation ambitions.

The Kuomintang group pointed out that after former Executive President Su Tseng-chang replaced the chairman of Taiwan Enterprise Bank, Taiwan Enterprise Bank led the National Development Fund to invest 19.999 million yuan in "Kueshi Intelligent", where legislator Su Qiaohui's sister Su Qiaochun served as chairman and chief operating officer, raising 45 million yuan. It questioned the failure to disclose the relationship in accordance with the conflict of interest avoidance law for public officials, and questioned the subsidy disbursement process and the company's current situation.

The Taipei mayoral race in Taiwan's 2026 nine-in-one local elections has entered a fierce stage. The support gap between Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang and the current KMT mayor Chiang Wanan has narrowed from 28 percentage points to 8 percentage points. Shen Boyang rose to prominence with his "Ocean Current" political voice, attracting the attention of middle voters, while Jiang Wanan emphasized his political achievements and warned that this was the most intense election he had ever faced. The election results will affect President Lai’s midterm review and the prelude to the 2028 presidential election.

A poll conducted by the People's Association shows that Su Qiaohui leads Li Sichuan by 13.1 percentage points in the New Taipei City election. Zhao Xiaohui analyzed that Shen Boyang needs to rely on three strategies to win the Taipei mayoral election: creating a positive energy municipal election campaign, taking advantage of Jiang Wanan’s mistakes, and mobilizing pan-green and centrist voters. She pointed out that if the turnout rate reaches 75%, other voters except the Deep Blue Iron vote will abandon Chiang and vote for Shen, and Shen Boyang will be elected.
