Why It Matters
During the Taipei mayoral election, Taipei City Councilor Qin Huizhu of the Kuomintang participated in the filming of the FTV program.

The photo caused misunderstandings after the host made it public. Zhang Yaping, chairperson of the Kuomintang Discipline Inspection Committee, issued an article naming Qin Huizhu and former China Broadcasting Chairman Zhao Shaokang, reminding them to consider whether they will hurt the feelings of comrades within the party and affect the election of candidates of the same party.
Taipei City Councilor Qin Huizhu of the Kuomintang made the "No. 3" gesture while taking a photo with Shen Boyang, Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, sparking discussion within the party. Zhang Yaping, the chairperson of the Kuomintang Disciplinary Committee, even issued an article naming Qin Huizhu and former China Broadcasting Chairman Zhao Shaokang. They should consider whether it hurts the feelings of comrades within the party and affects the election of candidates of the same party. They should know what to do and bear the consequences. Qin Huizhu came forward today (9th) to recount the process of taking a group photo. She emphasized that she was ranked No. 3 because the parliamentary candidate number was No. 3, and reiterated her full support for Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanzhen's No. 5. When Chiang Wanzhu was asked about Qin Huizhu being named, she asked, "Did something happen?"
Zhang Yaping mentioned in the article that Qin Huizhu was recently invited to appear on the show to ask Shen Boyang a question. After the recording, the two took a photo together and made the "3" hand gesture. Qin Huizhu later explained that both of their candidate numbers were No. 3. The photo was originally just a souvenir, and the host made it public first, and said that he would let the outside world judge for themselves.
Zhang Yaping believes that media people can choose who they interview, and politicians can also communicate across parties. However, as a party member, before speaking publicly or taking the stage, you should consider whether it will hurt the feelings of comrades in the party and affect the election of candidates from the same party. He emphasized that the choice is personal. If you have any doubts, you should clearly explain the reasons and bear the consequences yourself. If you no longer intend to assume the obligations of a party member, you should know where to go and what to do. He also pointed out that the above is a choice and does not need to involve party discipline.
When Qin Huizhu attended the Christmas Day Presentation Ceremony at the Chenghuang Temple in Taipei this morning, she said in an interview that she recently participated in an FTV program as a question guest and was invited to take a photo with Shen Boyang after the recording. It was originally just a private souvenir, but unexpectedly the host made the photo public without her consent, causing misunderstandings to the outside world. She emphasized: "Please support No. 3 Qin Huizhu and No. 5 Jiang Wanan. I do not support No. 3 Shen Boyang at all." She made the No. 3 gesture because she was the No. 3 candidate, not to support Shen Boyang. In the mayoral election, she fully supported No. 5 Jiang Wanan.
As for whether she is worried about the disciplinary meeting being held, Qin Huizhu emphasized that the disciplinary meeting is very sensible, and after she explains everything clearly, there will probably be no problems.
When the media asked about Qin Huizhu being called out to "know where to go and retreat," Jiang Wanan asked, "Did something happen?"
