  • He believed that Governor Song had rich administrative experience and was more qualified to discuss the Songshan Airport issue.
  • Regarding Jiang Wanan's sudden visit to former Speaker Chen Jianzhi, Shen believed that Mayor Jiang seemed to have a misunderstanding.

Why It Matters

With only 21 days left before the Taipei mayoral vote, Jiang Wanan proposed the relocation of Songshan Airport and suddenly visited former Speaker Chen Jianzhi, raising questions about whether he was in a hurry to make up for the loss. Shen Boyang, as the mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, responded to this.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party today assisted in the election of mountain aboriginal parliamentary candidate Lin Jiahao. He was asked before that he wanted to visit Chiang Youbai, Huang Shanshan, and James Soong. Do you have any relevant plans? Shen said whether the appointment can be made depends on everyone's time. In addition, the media asked whether Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's sudden visit to former Speaker Chen Jianzhi was in a hurry to make up for the loss. Shen replied, "I think Mayor Chiang seemed to have a misunderstanding, which is why he wanted to do it in such a hurry." If Chiang really felt that the relationship between the government and the parliament needed to be improved, he should have asked for advice long ago or within the past four years.

When asked by the media, he previously said that he wanted to visit Jiang Youbai, Huang Shanshan, and James Soong. Do you have any relevant plans? James Soong emphasized in a live broadcast yesterday that Songshan Airport cannot be moved at will. Shen Boyang responded that the principle is very simple. Anyone who can help the municipal government hopes to ask for advice. Now who can be consulted and whether the appointment can be made depends on everyone's time. Compared with himself, Governor Song, who has rich administrative experience and is more skilled, is more qualified to discuss the issue of loosening the airport.

Shen Boyang said that although there are only 21 days left before the vote, since Jiang Wanan has proposed the political opinion of relocating loose machines and Governor Song has also spoken out, Jiang still needs to explain clearly the issues that everyone has always questioned about national defense, national security, evacuation, and transportation volume, not to mention the Artificial Intelligence (AI) park that will be built in eight years and is now needed. The time interval is too long and the purpose is not consistent.

Regarding Jiang Wanan's sudden visit to former Speaker Chen Jianzhi, the outside world questioned whether he was in a hurry to make up for the loss. Shen Boyang pointed out that judging from the other party's response, they would all think that you want others to support you. He also made a special statement saying who the speaker should support. When taking pictures, they compared each other (Chiang's number). But he made it very clear from the beginning and was interviewed with Chen. He was not asking you to support him, but he knew that they were from different parties and discussed how different parties could cooperate to make the municipal government better.

Shen Boyang mentioned that former Speaker Chen is very good at this matter. He has experienced many different mayors and is seeking advice. He is not directly hoping that Chen will support Shen. "I think Mayor Jiang seems to have a misunderstanding, which is why he wants to do it in such a hurry. If Jiang really felt that the relationship between the government and the council needed to be improved, he should have consulted the speaker a long time ago, or he should have practiced it on his own in the past four years. The purpose of the two visits is very different."

Shen Youzhong: If U.S.-China relations are unstable, Xi Jinping may take more aggressive measures against Taiwan

Shen Youzhong, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, pointed out that the CCP seeks internal and external stability for next year's 21st National Congress. If instability occurs in U.S.-China relations, it may increase military deterrence, gray belt intrusion, economic coercion, international isolation, and more aggressive measures against Taiwan such as "ruling before rule". He emphasized that the nature of competition between the United States and China remains unchanged, and uncertainty has increased after the U.S. midterm elections, but there is a high degree of consensus between the two parties in supporting Taiwan.

Jiang Wanan sweeps the streets and erupts the "siege" controversy Xu Shuhua: The election is a matter of entrustment, not pressure

Last night, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan went to Liaoning night market to sweep the streets. When he passed by the dumpling shop "One Village" that once supported Yangliu, a large number of people gathered at the door and shouted loudly, raising doubts that the mobilization was a "gangster siege." Jiang Wanan responded today that he was "very embarrassed", while DPP city councilor Xu Shuhua criticized "the election is a request, not a pressure", emphasizing that anyone can support and we are still good neighbors.
