As the nine-in-one general election approaches, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan took time off to fight for the election. He held a live broadcast last night with People's Party MPs Chen Youcheng, Lin Zhenyu, Zhang Zhihao and others. During the process, both parties joked about having four, five, and six babies. Council candidate Xu Fu also said that "Chiang Wanan will be the mayor of four babies next year." Related remarks triggered criticism from the outside world, "Joking each other's wives' uteruses?" and "Women are uterine tools in their eyes."
Jiang Wanan held a live broadcast last night with many people from the Kuomintang Party. Later in the program, Jiang Wanan mentioned that he was very grateful to his wife for continuing to help with the election recently. He also said that he would give his wife a massage at home, and her wife did not complain. Instead, it made him very nervous. Lin Zhenyu described it as "this should be the calm before the storm." Zhang Zhi Hao then said, "Madam, I hope she has a wish. After you make your choice, you will have four treasures next year, yeah~" and "You have to push for one more treasure." Jiang Wanan then added, "So if you give birth to a child, you can get 30,000 yuan in extra food allowance." Bai Ying and others laughed and shouted, "It can be included in the policy" and "If you have four treasures, just five."
Chen Youcheng also said, "I broke the news that his (Zhang Zhihao's) wife is really willing" and "she thinks it is easier to help him have children, but it is very tiring to help her with elections." In response to this, Jiang Wanan actually said, "Don't forget, I just said that when someone is embarrassed with me, it will stimulate my fighting spirit." This response made the People's Party and others burst into laughter. He also said, "It was originally a warm heart. He was giving his wife a massage, but now he was saying 4 or 5." "He was still talking about having 6 babies." "The mayor is determined," Jiang Wanan said, "I also want the person next to you (Huang Chengying) to join the fight." Later, Xu Fu said, "The news headline came out, Jiang Wanan will be the mayor of Sibao next year."
Political worker Zhou Xuan also reposted the video on Facebook and criticized, "Are Jiang Wanan and members of the Kuomintang Party joking about each other's wives' uteruses at night?"
This conversation also made netizens question "a group of likes and dislikes", "women are just uterine tools in their eyes", "completely ignore the fact that Wan'an's wife is 47 years old and the risk of childbirth is extremely high for older women", "Jiang Wanan and the male chicks in Baiying said, how many babies do you have and how many babies I have, eh, not these gentlemen, nor are you men giving birth", "They joke about giving birth to four, five or six babies, completely disregarding Wan. Wife An will become a senior mother... it’s so hard to laugh at...”, “I’m already 48 years old and I’m still being asked by my supporters when I’m going to have four babies, and my husband is joking that I can give birth... it’s really outrageous”, “Such a man will eventually say: I’m just joking, why should you be so serious about discrediting me”, “The hard work of raising a life for a woman is used as a bargaining chip and joke to compete for face, and it makes me feel physically uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart.”
Some netizens also questioned, "A month ago, I said I couldn't help Baiying stand on the platform or share the same stage... Now I am behind and need tickets. I will immediately overcome all difficulties and be able to share the same stage... I kick it away when I don't need it, and use it when I want to use it... It's just like a certain kind of pot."
