Why It Matters
The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus held a press conference today to question the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's claim to "equate drugs and medicines" in 2014, and asked the Democratic Progressive Party's New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Qiaohui whether she agreed with his view.

The Kuomintang group of the Legislative Yuan held a press conference this morning "Shen Boyang wants to 'poison' Taipei. Will Su Qiaohui get on the boat of the poisonous ocean?", pointing out that DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang published an article in 2014 that "equates drugs and drugs" and other statements, questioning whether DPP New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Qiaohui agrees with Shen Boyang's proposition? Will Shen Boyang's anti-drug methods also be promoted in New Taipei City?
Taipei City Councilor Yang Zhidou said that he yesterday brought up Shen Boyang's remarks in 2014 that "drugs and medicines are equated", but Shen Boyang responded that the English word for the two (drug) is the same. At that time, Shen also said that the New Taipei City Government's urine screening test was terrible, but now he said that screening can be introduced, questioning Shen Boyang as a "Taipei cancer". Su Qiaohui got on the same boat as him, and it later became a "Shuangbei cancer."

Kuomintang legislator Luo Zhiqiang asked, now that Shen Boyang advocates drug screening in schools, is he a bad person? In 2014, Shen Boyang said that he would provide drug users with drugs and needles, but now he has made anti-drugs a political issue in his campaign for mayor of Taipei. People don't know how to comment on him. Su Qiaohui agrees with Shen Boyang that New Taipei City’s drug screening on campus is a bad thing? Treat drugs as medicine? Anyone who wants to be the mayor of New Taipei cannot avoid this issue.
Luo Zhiqiang said that Shen Boyang's ideas are already very frightening, and he doesn't believe that any parent in Taipei City can agree with them. However, Shen's ideas are not the most poisonous, but they are now lying to you for the sake of the election, saying that they do not want to poison Taipei. Please admit Shen Boyang bravely and face his past claims of wanting to poison Taipei. The most important first step is to admit his mistakes and put forward new claims.
Kuomintang legislator Xu Qiaoxin said that Shen Boyang's failure to reflect on his past statements would have a negative impact on Taipei, and he also mocked Yang Zhidou for raising the issue. Yesterday, Shen did not deny that his past statements were wrong. Only if he can say goodbye to his past opinions can people believe that the anti-drug policy proposed yesterday can be implemented in the future.
Xu Qiaoxin said that Shen Boyang’s past articles said that drugs are just medicines, which is very different from the views of the medical community, parents, teachers and students. As long as drugs and drugs are equated, they are promoting the decriminalization of drugs. If Shen Boyang, who has such a philosophy, becomes mayor, Taipei City's anti-drug campaign will be set back 50 years. Moreover, in order to protect this idea, Shen Boyang used to say that collecting drugs is the same as steel bullets, saying that there are too many addictive things, but who would draw an analogy between hobbies and drug addiction?
Xu Qiaoxin said that the drug-driving problem is so serious, and Shen Boyang's statement is ignoring the harm that drugs bring to the country and society. Shen even said that if drugs are decriminalized and the assistance and control of drug addicts is too extreme, they can follow the example of some countries in providing drugs and needles to drug addicts. Wouldn't the DPP government accept such a crazy idea? Shen Boyang's article is very clear that the ultimate goal is to decriminalize drugs.
