The Ocean Current sucked in 360,000 crew members! Shen Boyang reveals: Nearly 50% of Taipei residents are

Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang accepted an exclusive interview with "News Face to Face" hosted by Xie Zhenwu on the evening of the 2nd. He revealed that about 360,000 supporters have received crew certificates, of which Taipei citizens account for nearly 50%. Regarding how the "ocean current" formed, Shen Boyang believed that his supporters were a group of people who were already concerned about politics but did not necessarily have strong political leanings. They came out in groups because their demands hit them. He became a switch and a projection of people's expectations.

Shen Boyang said that when supporters of the "Ocean Current" launched by the campaign team receive crew certificates, the team will ask where the crew members are from. There are currently about 360,000 crew members, and Taipei residents account for nearly 50%. He said that at this stage, he would not worry too much about the geographical distribution of supporters. What is important is whether this group of people can bring brothers, sisters, family and friends to come out to vote.

Talking about the formation of the "ocean current", Shen Boyang said that the ocean current came first and then he. This group of people has always existed, but they have different levels of political concern. When demands hit them, they will overlap and come out in groups, and he becomes a switch and a projection of people's expectations.

Shen Boyang recalled that at the beginning of the election campaign, Mayor Jiang Wanan's support was much ahead of him. It was understandable that the Chiang camp adopted a strategy of ignoring him at that time. Instead, he chose to take it one step at a time, slowly accumulating support, and the number of people who followed him when sweeping the streets also gradually increased. It wasn't until later that it was questioned as fake and was even described as a "cockroach or rat", which made it a hot topic.

Shen Boyang believes that the Ningxia night market activities are a key turning point. Mass movements need symbols, and the name "Ocean Current" was also chosen by the supporters themselves. He mentioned that his previous exclusive interviews with media figures Wang Weizhong and Zhao Shaokang were of great help to the election campaign.
