Jiang Wan Andong's dining scandal, Zhan Weiyuan sued Xu Shuhua for "intending to make people unelectable"

On the 13th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan went to Raohe Night Market to sweep the streets, and led many people to dine at the time-honored restaurant "Dongfa Hao". Taipei City Councilor Hsu Shuhua from the Democratic Progressive Party broke the news today (14th) that Chiang did not pay immediately, which triggered a controversy over the Overlord meal. Taipei City Councilor Zhan Weiyuan from the Kuomintang went to the Songshan Police Station to report the case, accusing Hsu Shuhua of intending to make people unelected and violating the election strike law.

In the dispute over dining at "Dongfa Hao", the Raohe Street Tourist Night Market Autonomous Association explained that Chiang's staff gave 2,000 yuan to the autonomous president Guo Hongjinfeng before the meal and asked her to help pay for the meal. The store refused to accept the payment at the first time. Because there were many customers queuing at the scene, they agreed to go back to the store to check out the next day.

Jiang Wanan’s campaign office pointed out this evening (14th) that Xu Shuhua spread rumors that Jiang Wanan “eats for free,” “did not pay,” and “lied.” City councilor Zhan Weiyuan has gone to the Songshan Police Station to report the case, accusing Xu Shuhua of violating the election and strike law with the intention of causing people to be unelected.

The competition pointed out that Guo Hongjinfeng, president of the Raohe Street Night Market Autonomous Association, has come forward to clarify that Mayor Jiang’s team had previously handed over the meal fee to her and entrusted her to pay on her behalf. Although the store said it was not necessary at the moment, it still insisted on paying and would come again the next day.

The bid office stated that Xu Shuhua's accusation that Chiang's team "did not pay" was seriously deviated from the facts. Later, even if Chairman Guo Hongjinfeng came forward to clarify, Xu Shuhua continued to spread rumors that Mayor Chiang was "lying". This was basically a cognitive operation that seriously misled the public, and it also violated the election and strike law by "intending to prevent someone from being elected."

The competition office pointed out that Zhan Weiyuan had already reported the case earlier, and would never allow people to use rumors and smear methods to negative elections and harm businesses and democracy. It also reminded Xu Shuhua that verification obligations should be fulfilled before making accusations, and cognitive warfare tactics should not be used to spread dirty water and smear Jiang Wanan.
