With the countdown to the nine-in-one general election, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, who is seeking re-election, went to Raohe Night Market to sweep the streets on the evening of the 13th. It was so popular that he walked a short distance of 300 meters for 2 hours and went to the time-honored "Tung Fa Hao" oil rice restaurant to dine and chat happily with customers at the next table. The store was only attacked in August this year after a "menu stamping signature" incident occurred. The owner said frankly, "I was a little nervous after being attacked before."
Jiang Wanan went to the Raohe Street Night Market on the evening of the 13th to show his high popularity. He started sweeping at 6 o'clock and did not reach the bottom of the night market until about 9:30 in the evening, ready to go back. Along the way, many stalls including rice rolls, spicy crayfish and other stalls posted "support Taipei, support Wanan" or tied an encore streamer. There was also a Teppanyaki restaurant that invited Jiang Wanan to sign on the sign. He did not worry about expressing his stance.
Jiang Wanan also visited Dongfa Hao, a well-known old noodle shop in Raohe Night Market. He entered the store and asked for help from table to table. He even dined with Speaker Dai Xiqin, Legislators Xu Qiaoxin, Li Yanxiu and other people as well as the public. Jiang Wanan tasted Dongfa Hao’s fried rice and praised it as delicious.
During this period, some people enthusiastically invited Jiang Wanan to take a photo. Jiang Wanan also chatted with customers at the next table. He happened to meet a member of his family named Jiang, and during the conversation, he generously expressed that he likes to eat coriander.
Dongfa operators said that they were a little nervous when they were attacked before, but no matter what party they were candidates for, the stores where they did business treated them equally and welcomed them warmly.

U.S. President Trump is expected to visit China next week to attend the APEC summit in Shenzhen and meet with President Xi Jinping. This will be the third meeting between the two this year. Before the meeting, the U.S.-China Business Council held its first formal meeting, and the two sides reached a consensus on tariff treatment of non-sensitive goods worth US$30 billion in each direction and agricultural market access.

The Legislative Yuan passed the amendments to the Gender Equality Work Law and the Employment Insurance Law on the third reading. Maternity leave will be increased from eight weeks to fourteen weeks, and paternity check-up and paternity leave will be increased from seven days to fourteen days. The application period for childcare leave without pay will be relaxed to children under nine years old. Parents can receive a total of eighteen months of subsidies. The upper age limit for insurance coverage will be deleted at 65 years old. It is expected to be implemented from New Year's Day next year.

The Police Department held a pre-election national video conference, calling for strengthening the investigation of bribery and criminal gangs, and strictly preventing deep fake news from interfering with the election. As of the day before yesterday, the project had been investigated and transferred to 717 people in 149 cases of bribery, 90 people in 68 cases of election violence, and 574 people in 489 cases of other obstruction of elections. According to other statistics, as of the 9th of this month, 248 cases of gangs involving 1,431 people were seized, 278 illegal firearms were seized, 104 money laundering houses were uncovered, and illegal gains of more than 1.45 billion yuan were seized.

The Police Department held a pre-election national video conference, calling for strengthening the investigation of bribery and criminal gangs and strictly preventing deep fake news from interfering with the election. In response to legislator Gao Jin Sumei's "big accountant" Zhang Junjie being implicated in a communist espionage case and absconding, the Police Department planned a nationwide raid on gang activity sites. It targeted nearly 900 strongholds of gangs such as the Bamboo Alliance Gang, the Sihai Gang, and the Tiandao League. It also cracked down on foreign forces colluding with gangs to assist key criminals in their escape and transnational surveillance to suppress the public.

Legislator Gao Jin Sumei was indicted for taking Chinese capital to develop an organization. During the interrogation, she said that most of her affairs with China were handled by her aide Zhang Junjie. She complained about injustice on Facebook and was "politically pursued". The Kuomintang stated that it would be her strongest support. However, according to the investigation, on national defense issues such as the volcano mining system and the extension of compulsory service, Gaojin has repeatedly made films to echo the tone set by the Chinese Communist Party’s official media, and even proposed a purchase ban in the Legislative Yuan. The pace of political inquiry is highly overlapped with China’s.

Fourteen days before the nine-in-one election, the Democratic Progressive Party's 15 municipal and county mayoral candidates gathered in Taipei. By introducing the characteristics of their hometowns and playing train departure sound effects videos, they called on voters to return to their hometowns to vote on November 28.
