Why It Matters

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, has recently actively participated in local trips, setting off a wave of support that he called an "ocean current."

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, has recently set off a "ocean wave". He will also set up a campaign headquarters this Sunday. However, it is reported that Kuomintang Legislative Yuan Han Guoyu will also launch an auxiliary election on the same day in the hope of setting off a "Korean wave" to protest. However, it is suspected that it may affect the proceedings of the Legislative Yuan and even violate party discipline. In this regard, the People's Caucus stated that there would be no problem if Han took leave or used his spare time to assist in the election. As for party discipline issues, they respect the internal norms of the Kuomintang and emphasized that they welcome people from all parties who agree with the ideals to stand together.

The People's Party caucus held a press conference today (1) "Your mayor is just a show?! My mayor wants to do something!". The caucus secretary-general Hong Yuxiang, legislators Qiu Huizhen and Cai Chunxi attended the press conference and called on the DPP caucus to "do things well" in the new legislative session and support the passing of the nutritious lunch law as soon as possible.

The media asked that Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, has recently traveled frequently to local places and set off an "ocean current". In order to boost the election sentiment, it is reported that the Kuomintang Legislative Yuan Han Guoyu will launch the Taiwan-wide auxiliary election in advance to compete with him. Is the party group worried about the impact on the Legislative Yuan's proceedings? Does the People's Party intend to invite the "Korean Wave" to help the People's Party chicks including Chiayi mayoral candidate Zhang Qikai? However, since KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-man has banned the Blue Committee from supporting People’s Party candidate Qiu Chenyuan, is it possible that Han will also be banned?

Hong Yuxiang, secretary-general of the Popular Party Caucus and legislator, said that the duties of legislators are still to exercise supervision and budget review in the Legislative Yuan, and "policy is still our main job." However, since local elections are coming soon, it is legal and reasonable for members, presidents, and vice-presidents to use their leave or off-duty time to assist in the election. Therefore, we will still carry out the Legislative Yuan’s budget review, special projects, special reports and other discussions. These are all our responsibilities.

As for whether the "Korean Wave" auxiliary election violates the discipline of the Kuomintang? Hong Yuxiang said, "I think this is the internal norm of the Kuomintang group." He emphasized that as long as they agree with the political philosophy of their candidates, the Kuomintang welcomes people from all parties to help local public opinion representatives, including candidates for county and city chiefs.

Firefighters in Nantou County have accumulated more than 100,000 hours of uncompensated time off, and legislators demand the establishment of overtime pay.

Nantou County firefighters have been off duty for many years, and their accumulated uncompensated leave hours have exceeded 100,000 hours. They were also forced to support paid commercial activities such as the Sun Moon Lake Swimming Crossing, which attracted thousands of people and caused controversy. Councilors Wu Qinan, Shen Suzheng and Chen Yijun requested that the Fire Department solve the problem through overtime pay and other methods. It is estimated that 60 million yuan in funding will be allocated for two consecutive years. The fire chief stated that he would seek a budget from the county government, and county head Xu Shuhua said that next year he would discuss the establishment of compensatory time off and overtime pay year by year and strive to make up for the manpower shortage from the central government.

Media person Wu Jingyi points out the crisis of Jiang Wanan’s image loss: from Jingjingjing to the sugar cane rebellion, the power of brand definition is shifting outwards

Media person Wu Jingyi pointed out that the biggest crisis caused by Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's controversy over the random discarding of sugar cane was not the decline in polls, but the loss of his image - the focus of community discussion has shifted from policies to life details and memes, leading to the transfer of brand definition rights. In contrast, Shen Boyang has established a consistent "ocean current" narrative through continuous participation in markets, night markets and other activities, proactively setting topics and forming a clear character positioning.
