Jiang Wanan stirs up controversy with the Red Dragon Beijie: Maintaining movement lines does not conflict with administrative neutrality

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan went to Exit 4 of the MRT Daan Station to hand out reassuring stickers during the rush hour after get off work yesterday. MRT station employees and police mobilized a large number of manpower to maintain order.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan held a "Safety Sticker" distribution event at MRT Da'an Station last night. Since it coincided with the rush hour after get off work, the Taipei MRT Company dispatched personnel to help guide, maintain order, and erect red dragons, causing outsiders to question whether it was legal and compliant. Beijie Company stated today (10th) that the event was held legally outside the scope of the MRT road rights. While adhering to the principle of administrative neutrality, it also took necessary measures to guide passenger movement according to the crowd situation on site. There is no conflict between the two.

Northern Metro Corporation stated that yesterday's event was held legally outside the scope of the MRT's right of way, and emphasized that Northern Metro has always adhered to the principle of administrative neutrality. Any election or political activities are prohibited within the scope of the MRT's right of way. As for legal activities outside the scope of the MRT's right of way, necessary passenger flow guidance measures will be taken based on the crowd situation on site. There is no conflict between the two.

Beijie Company explained that during yesterday's activities around Da'an Station, station staff set up isolation rope frames based on on-site conditions and were in no way participating in or assisting any campaign activities. When Shen Boyang's rally was held around Dahu Park Station last Saturday night, isolation rope frames were also set up to protect passenger flow. Recently, some people at Nanjing Fuxing Station entered the MRT right-of-way to hand out promotional materials, affecting passenger flow. Station staff asked people to move outside the right-of-way in accordance with regulations.

Beijie Corporation emphasizes that it adheres to the position of administrative neutrality and treats everyone equally. No matter who organizes the event or what political stance they support, it will always be handled according to the same principles and there will be no differential treatment. According to the "Instructions for Taipei MRT Passengers", campaigning and other political activities are not allowed within the MRT area, and Beijie personnel will not participate in any campaign propaganda or sticker distribution. Maintaining passenger safety is our responsibility, and adhering to administrative neutrality is our principle. Both are indispensable. This has been the case in the past, is the case now, and will continue to be treated equally and handled in accordance with the law in the future.
