In an exclusive interview with Bloomberg, Taiwan's representative in the United States, Yu Dai, called on the United States to speed up the progress of arms sales to Taiwan totaling US$14 billion. He emphasized that the US policy towards Taiwan has not changed and Taiwan's goal is to ensure that it does not become a bargaining chip in US-China negotiations. He also pointed out that delays in arms sales may allow Beijing to spread the idea that Taiwan is isolated.

Taipei City Councilor Lee Ming-hsien of the KMT revealed in a political commentary program that he saw in the council members’ internal group that a council member first posted Shen Boyang’s drug-related article from 12 years ago, but it was unclear who found it in the first place. He believes that the current attack and defense of Jiang Wanan and Shen Boyang on the drug issue is still a "call for battle before the battle" in the early stage of the election campaign, and the formal battle has yet to be discussed in the follow-up. Li Mingxian analyzed that the election campaign needs to take into account both the basic base and the median voters, and Jiang Wanan is building an organizational base. As for Shen Boyang's so-called "ocean current", he believes that its political cohesion is different from the "Korean Wave" in 2018. There is still a gap in thickness and penetration, and the momentum has both natural and human factors.

The Taichung Shui-Nan Transfer Center was opened on August 5. However, Democratic Progressive Party mayoral candidate He Xinchun and city councilors Chen Shuhua, Lin Qifeng and Zeng Ziyao pointed out that the center has four major problems, including incomplete national highway passenger transport services, insufficient urban bus connections, inconvenient ticketing and unsmooth external transportation routes. They questioned that opening the facility before it was completed was a waste of public funds and proposed reform plans.

The campaign office of Lin Guozhang, candidate for Yilan County Mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, released the first campaign image video "The Window of Yilan" on the 5th. The film uses windows as a metaphor to explain the five major policy pillars of Yilan's window, the window of industry, the window of youth, the window of parenting, and the window of happiness, emphasizing industrial upgrading, Young people staying in their hometowns, transportation network and family happiness were mostly filmed in places provided by local friends that Lin Guozhang has known for 30 years in Yilan, such as the Champion Tea King Lai Ertu Tea Garden and Shiguang 1998 Restaurant. The competition stated that it will continue to strengthen the image narrative to win the support of county residents.

New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi said that Li Sichuan, the New Taipei City mayoral candidate of the Kuomintang, is an outstanding talent who does practical things. He hopes to make New Taipei City develop better one after another. This statement was made after Lee's campaign in Sichuan attracted more than 40,000 people and Legislative Yuan Hanguo-yu attended the event to support him. It was regarded by the outside world as a response to the Korean Wave's resistance to the gathering of ocean currents.

The Taoyuan City Government held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 55th phase of the Pingzhen District Yixing City land rezoning on the 4th, aiming to improve the lack of parking and traffic congestion around Yixing Elementary School. It is expected to be completed in March next year. A 0.08-hectare parking lot will be built to provide 28 parking spaces, and a 0.19-hectare commercial area will be allocated back to the landowner, achieving a win-win situation for both public and private sectors.
