The New Taipei City election campaign is heating up. The father of Democratic Progressive Party candidate Su Qiaohui and former executive president Su Zhenchang recently attended the Yingge Respect for the Elderly Dinner and interrupted the speech of KMT New Taipei mayor candidate Li Sichuan. Su Qiaohui responded earlier that Li Sichuan arrived early that day and "there is no need to edit the scene to deliberately distort the facts." In response, Guo Yinlan, spokesperson for Li's Sichuan campaign office, countered again, saying that Su Qiaohui respects the media's right to report and does not need to get angry and criticize the media. Even if it turns out that Dean Su is late, it doesn't matter.

Guo Yinlan reiterated that according to members of the Su Qiaohui camp, the Su camp said that Su Zhenchang was scheduled to arrive at around 5:40 p.m. and that Li Sichuan arrived early at 5:35 p.m., but the actual situation is that Li Sichuan arrived at about 5:50 p.m. At the scene, Dean Su Zhenchang directly led a large group of Democratic Progressive Party parliamentary candidates into the venue at close to 5:55 p.m. The Su Qiaohui camp's statement not only falsified the time of Li Sichuan's arrival, but also proved that "Li Sichuan was on time and Su Zhenchang was late."

Guo Yinlan mentioned that Su Qiaohui had no public schedule today and arranged a special interview. Instead, she scolded the media for editing and distortion, and called on Su Qiaohui to respect the right of media reporting and not to criticize the media in anger. It doesn't matter even if Dean Su is late. "Today we have expressed that the Su family is the largest in New Taipei and the Su family can never be wrong."
