During the Keelung mayoral election live online debate, the current mayor of the Kuomintang, Xie Guoliang, was silent for about 5 to 6 seconds during the third round of cross-examination.

Xie Guoliang immediately came back to apologize and read the question, and netizens left comments.

On October 30, the Legislative Yuan passed the amendment to the drug-related driving law on third reading, raising the maximum penalty to the death penalty for repeated offenses within ten years.

Tong Ziwei embarrassedly reminded "Mayor Xie did not ask a question," and Xie Guoliang made an emergency apology. Netizens ridiculed that Tong Ziwei was the only one in the audience who was awake.

Wu Zongxian's campaign responded that if the school thinks it is inappropriate, it will respect the school's wishes. Chen Meiling did not answer the call and has no comment yet.
