Jiang Wanan’s campaign office questioned Shen Boyang’s past remarks on campus food safety, cutting down road trees and the Twin Cities Forum, and demanded an apology.
Shen Boyang, the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate, now questioned Chiang Wanan's team and asked for a specific explanation of what he had spread. In response, Jiang Wanan's campaign office issued a press release stating that relevant evidence is available and that Shen Boyang's past controversial speeches will be reviewed one by one, including alleging that "large-scale collective food poisoning" occurred on the Beishi campus, questioning the city government's tree felling, and calling the Twin Cities Forum an "infiltrated breach," etc., and asked Shen Boyang to apologize to his grassroots colleagues and the public.
The Jiang Wanan Bidding Office pointed out that Shen Boyang had previously accused Taipei City of "large-scale collective food poisoning" without verifying the facts. However, according to the Bidding Office, the food safety inspection results of Jingxing, Minzu Elementary School and Jinhua Junior High School were released on October 7. They were all qualified and no food poisoning was found. The competition agency questioned that Shen Boyang's original accusations were conclusive, but now that the test results are out, he should retract his false accusations and apologize to the public.
In response to the controversy over road trees, the Jiang Wanan Bidding Office stated that at the beginning of the year, there was an argument that "trees were cut down for the Chinese Communist drones." The city government has clarified it many times, but related false accusations continue to circulate. The competition agency alleged that instead of helping clarify the matter, Shen Boyang accused the city government of "cutting down trees all at once" and ignoring the pedestrian and traffic safety risks that brown root disease may cause. It demanded that Shen Boyang apologize to the Parks Department and frontline tree care personnel.
In addition, the competition also questioned Shen Boyang's inconsistent stance on the Twin Cities Forum, saying that when he was a legislator, he once referred to the Twin Cities Forum as a "vulnerable hole for infiltration," but did not provide specific evidence of infiltration. Now he has expressed his willingness to participate in the Twin Cities Forum if there are no political prerequisites. The competition asked whether the previous "infiltration theory" should also be explained to the outside world.
Jiang Wanan’s bid finally listed Shen Boyang’s past speeches related to the general recall, universal cash payments and the Teachers’ Day holiday. He believed that some of the statements were inconsistent with the facts and criticized Shen Boyang for not misleading society through cognitive warfare. The competition office emphasized that it is willing to sort out relevant evidence one by one, and requires Shen Boyang to honestly face his past remarks and apologize to the grassroots colleagues who were accused and the people who were misled.
