The Blue Camp uncovered an article published by DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang 12 years ago, accusing him of "equaling drugs with drugs." Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan posted a post on Facebook last night refuting Shen Boyang's claims. The influx of messages instantly exploded, with more than 400,000 as of noon today, and the editor of the Chiang camp was questioned about deleting the message. In an interview this morning (4th), Jiang Wanan said that regarding the "mobilization" situation in the comment area yesterday, "There are 23 million people in Taiwan, and there are more than 90 million accounts on Threads, which is really the overall size of the Fuyuan Party." He also asked, "How do you delete hundreds of thousands of comments?" He emphasized that he has always welcomed the exchange of different opinions.

Jiang Wanan's Facebook post yesterday, "There is no room for ambiguity in the fight against drugs. Prohibiting drugs from entering the campus community is a red line that must be adhered to." Comments immediately poured in. As of noon today, it has accumulated nearly 400,000 messages, and is even increasing rapidly. Jiang Wanan's campaign office responded immediately, questioning Shen Boyang's inability to face his past opinions. The message area became busy late at night. "Funds are burning, it is really hard," implying that it was operated by the DPP's cyber army. Jiang Wanan’s camp was also questioned about deleting messages.

Jiang Wanan attended the establishment of the Military, Public, Educational, Police and Fire Support Association this morning. When asked about deleting messages before the meeting, he said, "How can we delete hundreds of thousands of messages? I have always welcomed the exchange of different opinions."

Ye Xiangyuan, director of Jiang Wanan's campaign office, said that as far as she knew, there would be no deletion of messages. Last night, a large number of messages came in abnormally, and the pages were washed so hard that it was too late to read them. She didn't know where the accusation of deleting messages came from. However, Jiang Wanan's post hit the nail on the head and touched Shen's sore spot, so he posted it at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. In two hours, more than 100,000 messages poured in, "Thank you for your hard work!".

Ye Xiangyuan said that Shen Boyang accused Jiang Wanan of spreading rumors this morning, so Shen Boyang should specifically point out whether he wrote the article himself and whether it was his own opinion that the community center provided drugs and needles. "Where is the rumor?" Spending so much time discussing messages but not daring to discuss the core issue is a way for Shen Boyang to shift the focus.

As for Shen Boyang's invitation to debate drugs, Jiang Wanan said that there will definitely be a debate in Taipei City and he will definitely participate.
