Why It Matters
The mayoral race in Taipei is heating up, with current mayor Chiang Wanan and Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang engaged in a war of words over municipal inspection and public relations crises.
Taipei's mayoral race is heating up. In response to Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang's criticism of frequently using "dead cat tactics" to divert attention in the face of municipal inspections, current mayor Chiang Wanan criticized the green camp for only smearing and spreading rumors, and even asked Shen Boyang to apologize for free nutritious lunches that were accused of causing mass food poisoning.
Shen Boyang criticized Jiang Wanan yesterday (10th) for repeatedly avoiding answers or adopting "dead cat tactics" to divert the attention of the media and the public and evade inspection due to the recent public relations crisis or municipal questions he encountered. In response, Jiang Wanan asked Shen Boyang this morning (11th), "Who is deliberately exaggerating and spreading rumors?" He claimed that the mayor of Taipei has actively promoted various major municipal projects in recent years, but his opponents have continued to obstruct and spread false information in an attempt to prevent Taipei's progress.
Shen Boyang then asked Jiang Wanan to tell specifically what things they had spread rumors about, including the indiscriminate felling of road trees, the nutritious lunch controversy, and the child abuse incident. When will it be resolved? The campaign narrative proposed by Jiang Wanan sounds like the same thing. The city government team should answer the questions that citizens are concerned about head-on, rather than labeling normal questions as rumors.
In the evening, Jiang Wanan was interviewed before attending an anti-drug propaganda event. He also said that the record of rumors spread by Green Camp was "too numerous to describe". He could give three examples at random, including free nutritious lunches. People from Green Camp said that food poisoning occurred in many schools in Bei City. However, after random inspections of Jingxing Elementary School, Minzu Elementary School, and Jinhua Junior High School, the results were all in line with the standards. However, the DPP has not yet seen an apology for the panic caused by this.
Next, regarding the dispute over the removal of road trees in Bei City, Jiang Wanan claimed that the city government team made the disposal in accordance with legal procedures based on brown root disease, tree decay, and professional judgments related to citizens’ lives, property, and traffic safety, and that it was not unreasonable cutting down. As for cross-strait exchanges, Jiang Wanan questioned that Shen Boyang had repeatedly accused the Shuangcheng Forum of being a breach of infiltration, but could never provide clear evidence. Shen Boyang and Luying should publicly apologize to the public for these untrue remarks.
Open Questions
- How will the free nutritious lunch controversy develop next?
- Will the Twin Cities Forum be held as scheduled?
