Du Yijin mentioned that "harm reduction" is misunderstood as "drug prevention". Clean needles, alternative therapies and drug detoxification referrals are existing public health measures in Taiwan. The CDC and various county and city governments often do this, and they do not support drug abuse. "Drugs for treating drug addiction" are misunderstood as "providing drugs", providing methadone and social workers to assist and solve addiction problems, and directly rewording them as providing drugs and encouraging drug abuse.
Du Yijin continued to point out that "opposing labeling of screening results" is misunderstood as "opposing screening". Students often become addicted to drugs in the first place through black tea bags to refresh themselves or cheated on e-cigarettes. Labeling and punishment based on testing will not reduce the harm. We must start from the source and anti-drug education, which does not conflict with screening and medical referrals. Du Yijin said that Su Yifeng transferred the public's "angry about drug driving" to "irrelevant articles" and blamed the problem of drug driving on an article 12 years ago. This correlation ability is amazing. Du questioned: "You won't make random diagnoses like this in the clinic, right?"
Du Yijin reminded everyone in the Internet age to get used to ignoring unreasonable personal attacks and not to fall into "rage bait". Fighting back will only increase exposure and help negative content increase traffic. "Internet celebrities are not afraid of scolding or blackmail. They are just afraid of losing traffic. Ignore offensive words and stay in a good mood."

KMT Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen held the founding meeting of the presidential election on the 4th. Blue camp big names Han Guoyu, Hou Youyi and Lu Xiuyan took the stage for a group hug. Eight sections of sugar cane were given as gifts, and singer Weng Liyou sang "I Ask the Sky" on stage, which aroused discussion among green camp people and the outside world.

Since President Lai Ching-te took office, the political situation between the ruling and opposition parties has caused serious delays in the budget review of the Legislative Yuan. The 2014 budget has been deleted and frozen by more than 36.8 billion yuan. The review of the 2015 budget was delayed for 351 days, setting a record for the latest approval in history. At the same time, China's policy of increasing gas and removing coal triggered a conflict between the Taichung City Government and the central energy department. The China United Oil Incident escalated into a political attack and defense between the central and local governments. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan called for an anti-drug march. Taitung County Mayor Rao Qingling's participation in the Straits Forum caused controversy in the Mainland Affairs Council but was ultimately not punished by the Ministry of the Interior.

Zhou Yonghong, chief convener of the Taichung City Council caucus of the Democratic Progressive Party, responded to the Kuomintang's accusation that Shen Boyang equated drugs with medicines in his past articles, emphasizing that clean needle services and methadone treatment have their own purposes. The former aims to reduce the risk of blood-borne diseases caused by shared needles, while the latter assists with withdrawal symptoms. Both are harm reduction medical treatments. Politicians are required to clearly support the current policy and not to sacrifice patients and medical teams for help during the election campaign.

Zheng Chaofang, candidate for Hsinchu County Mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, advocated that political governance can shape the brand. Taking Zhubei's experience as an example, he improved people's willingness to stay through the renovation of the Ford Library branch, pickleball courts, park aesthetics and patented landscape lights. He emphasized that governance should be based on local needs and promoted Zhubei's successful experience to the new Zhuxian County.

Senior members of the KMT party affairs pointed out that Cheng Lai-wen reduced the risk of conflict in the Taiwan Strait by visiting the mainland, and advocated that the KMT should provide different options from Lai Ching-te's "new two-nation theory". It emphasized that the "Sichuan-Xi meeting" and the arms sales case proved that its line on stability in the Taiwan Strait is correct, and said that only Only after a resounding victory in the local elections in 2026 and the rotation of political parties in 2028 can the judicial system return to justice, state machinery not be abused, and permanent cross-strait peace and prosperity be brought about. At the same time, he warned that the DPP's continued confrontation for Taiwan independence will make it difficult to calm down the cross-strait situation.

Akio Yaita, a Japanese journalist in Taiwan, analyzed Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan’s criticism of legislator Shen Boyang’s 2014 drug control policy article. He pointed out that this incident highlighted Chiang Wanan’s three shortcomings in urban governance capabilities, policy consistency and crisis management capabilities, and questioned his ability to understand and communicate complex issues.
