[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang held a campaign headquarters inauguration meeting on the 4th. Well-known host Tsai Kang-yong unexpectedly attended. The news quickly spread to China, and many pinkettes immediately put "Taiwan independence" hats on Tsai Kang-yong and denounced him.

Internet celebrity Ah Shui posted a comment on Facebook last night, saying frankly that when Cai Kangyong was just sitting down and listening quietly to the event, a group of people rushed to label him with various labels, and even attacked him with all kinds of bad words, "In fact, in the future, whether Cai Kangyong's vote will be given to Shen Boyang , is always his personal freedom and the result of his comprehensive evaluation. No one can have an opinion. The most terrifying thing is that a group of people hear that other people’s voices are different from his, and they start to say that others are cyber warriors and flankers. Even former supporters have some doubts and are immediately smeared. "

Jiang Wanan’s team is composed of five blue-camp legislators, Wang Hongwei, Xu Qiaoxin, Li Yanxiu, Luo Zhiqiang, and Lai Shibao, to form the so-called spokesperson lineup. The genius Ah Shui said that this shows that their goal is never policy debate, let alone logical communication, but to use various attacks and smears, and even connect supporters with the general recall that year. This kind of reliance on hatred mobilization as the final defense force clearly shows that Jiang Wanan’s momentum has fallen to the bottom.

The genius Ah Shui bluntly said that Jiang Wanan’s election is really so stable, and all his supporters have already planned to go out on the day of the vote. “Jiang Wanan will continue to be a mascot who is never able to solve problems head-on and answers questions directly. What politicians worry about most is never being looked down upon. What they fear most is being ridiculed as a joke. This is the key to his end on the political stage.”

The CCP expands commemorative activities for the 160th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen’s birth, with Xi Jinping personally presiding over the event with clear intention to promote reunification

The Communist Party of China will expand the commemoration of the 160th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth in November in Beijing. President Xi Jinping will personally host it and invite the Kuomintang to participate in it. It attempts to monopolize the right to interpret history and use nodes to promote cross-strait reunification. Officials have warned that this is a tool of the united front and Taiwan's academic circles should avoid cooperating.

KMT legislator criticizes Taipei mayoral election poll as 'Sahaf syndrome'

Legislative Yuan Budget Center: In the past four years, the turnover rate of civil servants who have been in office for less than five years has exceeded 50%, making them the most severely attrited group.

A report from the Budget Center of the Legislative Yuan pointed out that the turnover rate of public servants has been relatively high in recent years. From 2011 to 2014, a total of 10,872 civil servants from the central and local governments resigned. Among them, 5,965 people, accounting for 55%, resigned with less than 5 years of service in the first public office, accounting for 55%. The top three resignations from the Executive Yuan's competent agencies were the Ministry of Justice with 386 people, the Retirement Association with 343 people, and the Ministry of Interior with 231 people. A total of 3,323 people resigned from local governments, with the six capitals accounting for 71%. The top reasons for leaving were personal factors ("I have other jobs"), followed by further studies and taking care of family members. The report recommends that we investigate the reasons for the sharp decline in national examination applications and strengthen staff assistance and coaching to cultivate high-quality public service manpower.
