During the Taipei mayoral election, candidate Shen Boyang had written an article discussing drug harm reduction policies in the past, but was mistakenly accused by Kuomintang legislator Luo Zhiqiang of advocating providing drugs to drug users in community centers. Shen Boyang has publicly clarified his position, emphasizing that drug harm reduction has nothing to do with encouraging drug abuse, and opposes the decriminalization of drugs. Xiao Jingyan, the former spokesperson of the Kuomintang, refuted Luo Zhiqiang's remarks on social platforms.
Kuomintang legislator Luo Zhiqiang accused DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of advocating "providing drugs to drug users in community centers" in the past. Shen Boyang clarified that his past articles discussed drug harm reduction and had nothing to do with encouraging drug abuse, and emphasized that he "does not advocate the decriminalization of drugs." In this regard, former KMT spokesperson Xiao Jingyan also posted on social media, emphasizing that what Luo Zhiqiang said during an interview with the Legislative Yuan on the 6th was self-evident and nonsense. Xiao Jingyan believes: "Everyone's political stance and the objects of support can be different, but as a human being, you still have to have a conscience."
Xiao Jingyan said that Luo Zhiqiang took quotes out of context, put words that others did not say into other people's mouths, and then continued to spread rumors. He was just showing his lower limit, so he put up the text of Luo Zhiqiang's interview for everyone to judge. Luo Zhiqiang himself told a lot about Shen Boyang's plan to distribute drugs in the community center, and then said: "Shen Boyang didn't explain the drugs clearly", "So it may be...", "He means this..." Xiao Jingyan questioned: "You yourself said that Shen Boyang didn't talk about it, and you can continue to interpret what it might be. Are you Shen Boyang's spokesperson or is it a roundworm in your belly?"

Xiao Jingyan mentioned that the funniest thing is that when Luo Zhiqiang was talking about it, he also said: "Then he didn't say it was free or paid", "So I won't add it for him!" Xiao criticized Luo Zhiqiang himself for saying that Shen Boyang stopped talking, and then said, "I won't add it for him." Doesn't that mean he admits that the whole article is just nonsense?
Xiao Jingyan emphasized: "Our political stance is different from that of Shen Boyang, but our standards and self-requirements for integrity and personality should be consistent, right? The Kuomintang has this kind of "dipping sauce" known as a warrior, which makes people feel embarrassed. Oh, I forgot that Luo Zhiqiang is used to using this trick to help his own soldiers. No wonder."
