Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan went to the Liaoning Street Night Market yesterday to sweep the streets. When he passed by Yangliu Store's "One Village" dumpling shop, he accidentally triggered the controversy over bullying and bullying. Jiang Wanan explained that this was a misunderstanding, and his supporters also defended him, saying that Jiang Wanan himself had a good attitude and did not "go out to fight." However, many netizens who felt uncomfortable were directed at the behavior of Jiang Wanan's supporters, believing that it was targeted for supporters and team members to shout slogans on the spot and even "shout louder". One netizen even broke the news that when passing nearby, he heard the head of Jiang Wanan's group talking to supporters and said proudly: "I went in on purpose."

Jiang Wanan's street sweeping sparked controversy. Legislator Wang Hongwei, who asked the crowd to chant "Shou louder" at the time, said today that whether Jiang Wanan went to sweep the market or the night market, he would go to each shop to ask for help and shake hands at each stall. He emphasized that he was not targeting specific shops. But she also apologized and said that if the slogan caused trouble to the store or the diners felt uncomfortable, "I want to say sorry to you."

This incident triggered a debate between the two factions today. Netizens who supported Jiang Wanan pointed out that Jiang Wanan's attitude was not bad. They also said that Jiang Wanan also went to other stores that supported Yangliu, and both parties behaved very gracefully. However, another group of netizens pointed out that the video showed Jiang Wanan performing a "90-degree turn" in front of the store and returning to the dumpling shop. A large number of supporters surrounded "Yuyi Village" and started shouting slogans. Some people who were dining in the store at the time posted on the Internet that the tense atmosphere at that time was scary and disgusting. "I was dining in the store and was very scared. I was scared again when I watched the video."

A netizen left a message below the relevant discussion today and said that she was passing by with a friend at the time. Among Jiang Wanan supporters, she saw a middle-aged woman and a person wearing a long vest and said, "There is a lot of ocean water in front of the store." The chief responded proudly: "I went in on purpose."

She also said that she and her friends were staying nearby at that time, and Jiang Wanan’s team had actually arrived at the night market early and met them on the way. The number of people along the way was not too large, and they were just sweeping the street normally. But when they gathered outside the gate of another village, it was obvious that the number of people and the volume had become louder, so she got closer to see what was going on. As a result, she saw Jiang Wanan's camp insisting on entering, and then the supporters cheered thunderously, and the volume was obviously louder than before. Later, I saw the above conversation, and after it was over, I saw the proprietress coming out to express her grievances to her friends.

Many netizens commented on this: "Their supporters are still washing the Yau Yi Village incident, which is a rumor spread by Jade Bird" and "low-level supporters"; the "leader" of Yau Yi Village also left a message below: "Thank you everyone for standing with us."

Shen Youzhong: If U.S.-China relations are unstable, Xi Jinping may take more aggressive measures against Taiwan

Shen Youzhong, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, pointed out that the CCP seeks internal and external stability for next year's 21st National Congress. If instability occurs in U.S.-China relations, it may increase military deterrence, gray belt intrusion, economic coercion, international isolation, and more aggressive measures against Taiwan such as "ruling before rule". He emphasized that the nature of competition between the United States and China remains unchanged, and uncertainty has increased after the U.S. midterm elections, but there is a high degree of consensus between the two parties in supporting Taiwan.

Jiang Wanan unexpectedly paid a visit to Chen Jianzhi. Shen Boyang questioned: If the relationship between the government and the government needs to improve in the past four years, he should ask for advice.

When Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang assisted mountain aboriginal parliamentarian candidate Lin Jiahao, he responded that if he wanted to visit Jiang Youbai, Huang Shanshan, and James Soong, whether they could make an appointment depended on the other party's time. He believed that Governor Song had rich administrative experience and was more qualified to discuss the Songshan Airport issue. Regarding Jiang Wanan's sudden visit to former Speaker Chen Jianzhi, Shen believed that Mayor Jiang seemed to have a misunderstanding. If he really wanted to improve the relationship between the government and the council, he should have asked for advice or implemented it himself. The purpose of the two visits was very different.

Jiang Wanan responded today that he was "very embarrassed", while DPP city councilor Xu Shuhua criticized "the election is a request, not a pressure", emphasizing that anyone can support and we are still good neighbors.
