The Taipei mayoral election has attracted attention from all walks of life. The Green Camp claimed that the latest internal polls showed that their candidate Shen Boyang's support was close to that of Mayor Chiang Wanan who is seeking re-election, sparking discussion. Shen Boyang mentioned this when he went to Tokyo yesterday (12th) to attend the All-Japan Conference of Mayor Shen Boyang's Japan Supporters Association. He joked that the narrowing gap in the polls might make Jiang Wanan nervous, and then he wanted to be serious about municipal affairs, but if he wanted to be serious, "Taipei will not be able to handle it." This golden sentence made a lot of netizens laugh.
Senior media person Qiu Mingyu first disclosed on the 11th that internal polls of the Democratic Progressive Party showed that the gap between Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan had shrunk to single digits. The next day, Shen Boyang flew to Tokyo to attend a support meeting, and campaign director-general Wu Siyao, who was traveling with him, confirmed this. In his speech, Shen Boyang said that when he first entered the election, he saw that he was nearly 30 percentage points behind his opponents. It was really miserable. Although he is catching up quickly now, when he saw the latest figures, he was actually more nervous.
Then Shen Boyang ridiculed Chiang Wanan's recent policy overturn, including "smoke-free cities" and "free nutritious lunches". He joked that the polls were chasing single digits, which meant that his opponents would also feel the pressure and start to fight back. "Chiang Wanan will become more and more serious. This is what makes me nervous. Once Chiang Wanan is serious, Taipei will not be able to handle it... (the audience burst into laughter and applause)."
Shen Boyang continued: "It's over. It's a bit like a talk show. But really, I think Jiang Wanan's seriousness is really scary. (For example) this fresh milk policy, he wants everyone to drink fresh milk. At least it's not a bad thing, but he can also make this thing a bad thing. I think this is very It’s not easy. The exchange rate of fresh milk is only about 60%, and the exchange rate of the weak is even lower, only 50%. This means that if you continue to implement this policy, you will widen the gap between the weak and the non-weak. How can it be a good policy? And this is the policy he implements most seriously..."
"(Chiang Wanan) is anxious about political performance. What he has been seriously promoting recently is a smoke-free city. You should have seen some pictures of smoking rooms in Taiwan in Japan. They are different from those seen in Japan. Some look like dog cages, and some may just draw a small grid behind the parking grid... so When he implements these policies seriously, it will actually cause a lot of pressure on us Taipei people. When we make any policy today, we will theoretically have a plan, but he obviously has no supporting measures and did not think about it at the beginning. He just threw out an idea and asked the people below to do it. "
Netizens said, "I'm laughing to death. I'm not afraid of idiots not doing things, but I'm afraid of idiots being too serious.", "It's so funny. If Jiang Wanan gets serious, Taipei will really be unable to handle it!", "I totally agree, some people don't do anything even if you give them a salary, but they are more helpful to the company than if they do something. "Please let Jiang Wanan go home and become a citizen", "I, a Taipei native, cried when I laughed and laughed", "From having fresh milk for every life to being a race for every student, I really don't know what to say about Wanan. If he doesn't know how to do something, it's better not to do it", "Taipei will really not be able to handle it if he is re-elected."
