"Jun Zhengping" claimed that Taiwan independence forces are the mortal enemies of the Chinese people and that Taiwan independence elements are national scum. This is a big issue of right and wrong, and there is no room for ambiguity, and no one is allowed to sit on the wall and act according to the prevailing situation.
Jun Zhengping threatened that some people are trying to use words to confuse right and wrong, and while making mainland dividends, they are flirting with "Taiwan independence". Sooner or later, they will weld themselves to the pillar of historical shame and pay an unbearable price.
In this regard, Wang Hongren, a professor of political science at National Cheng Kung University, said in an interview today that China is over-interpreting the situation in order to differentiate and further threaten and intimidate. October 1st is the National Day of the Communist Party of China. Some Taiwanese artists have made statements, and the CCP is also making strong distinctions. As long as they identify with the "motherland" or speak about one China, they will be affirmed, for example, there is a market in China. On the other hand, threats and intimidation are used to warn people with different stances.
Wang Hongren analyzed that if Shen Boyang's momentum is not high today and some people support him, the CCP may turn a blind eye and think it will have no impact. However, the current "ocean current" has too much influence, including Wang Weizhong's last visit, which was actually very effective. Today, Shen Boyang is going to Zhao Shaokang's program again, and Cai Kangyong is a bit unreasonable. He just went to listen to the voices of different opinions, but he was said to be quarreling with Taiwan.
Wang Hongren emphasized that Taiwanese people have the right to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. What does participating in the founding meeting of the campaign headquarters have to do with Taiwan independence? Although Shen Boyang was sanctioned by the CCP, in Taiwan's democratic environment, gatherings and associations are normal, but the CCP has combined the two things, which is quite unreasonable.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party was attacked by the blue camp for his paper discussing drug harm reduction 12 years ago.

The Citizen Oversight Congress Alliance announced the 2026 legislator evaluation. Among the 19 legislators running for county mayor, Lai Ruilong of the Democratic Progressive Party ranked first with 21 awards in the evaluation. Shen Boyang and Lin Yueqin tied for second to third. Among the top ten, only Ke Zhien of the Kuomintang entered the list and ranked eighth. The bottom three are all KMT legislators, none of whom have won awards and have many times to be observed.

The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus held a press conference to question the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lin Guozhang, who is candidate for Yilan County governor, as a supervisor and shareholder of Aite Advanced Company, which operates semiconductor business in mainland China. It pointed out that he shouted anti-China Taiwan to defraud votes on stage, but profited from Chinese business off the stage. It asked him to publicly explain China's revenue, dividends and supervisor remuneration, and criticized the Democratic Progressive Party for adopting double standards for its own members.

The Times Poll Center surveyed 1,068 people over the age of 20 in Taichung City from October 2 to 4. It showed that DPP candidate He Xinchun's approval rating was 31.3%, six percentage points behind KMT candidate Jiang Qichen's 37.3%. However, He Xinchun's approval rating reached 86%, which was higher than Jiang Qichen's 76.2%. He Xinchun said that it was gratifying to see the lead in appreciation, and said that the trend of support continued to rise.

Four business operators were prosecuted and the Hong Kong suspect was wanted.
