Why It Matters
The Taipei mayoral election candidate camp is negotiating on the venue and format of the TV debate.
The televised debate negotiations for the Taipei mayoral election began today, but the two sides have not yet reached consensus on some issues, so the talks will be postponed to another day. However, political commentator Zhou Xuan broke the news that although Chiang Wanan's camp released a press release claiming that Shen Boyang was delaying the schedule, in fact the Chiang camp did not dare to respond to the question of "how many debates will be held." After the meeting, Chiang Wanan also said that "as usual, there will only be one." He told his negotiators that he could accept 1+1 debates.
Zhou Xuan pointed out in a Facebook post that Chiang Wanan’s camp released a press release saying that this afternoon’s Taipei mayoral debate consultation, Shen Boyang’s team could not confirm the date, so there was no conclusion. It seemed that everything was being delayed by Shen Boyang’s side, but in fact, “When the representative of Shen Boyang’s team raised a question and said: ‘How many debates will we have in total?’ Representatives of Chiang Wanan’s camp did not have any positive response.”
Zhou Xuan continued: "Then after the meeting, the representative of Shen Boyang's team was interviewed first. When the representative of Jiang Wanan's team was interviewed, he actually changed his words and said that Jiang Wanan could accept a 1+1 show, that is, one jointly hosted by TVBS and Sanli, and one jointly hosted by FTV, Liberty Times, Taiwan TV, China Television, China Television, and Mirror TV Alliance, which issued an announcement at noon today. Hey, why didn't you say it on the spot?"
Zhou Xuan added that the strangest thing is, "Almost at the same time, Mayor Jiang Wanan was interviewed by the media and talked about this issue. His answer was: 'According to convention, there is only one event.' To be honest, there is no way to know Mayor Jiang Wanan's attitude now. What is the degree of negotiation? If the negotiation is to go smoothly, the negotiator and the coach have the same opinion. It is very basic.
Open Questions
- What is the final position of Chiang Wanan’s camp on the debate?
- When will the next negotiation between the two parties take place?
