AI-generated summary
The first televised debate of the Taipei mayoral election was held on October 31, with Shen Boyang and Chiang Wanan competing.
This way
It should be the most heated debate in recent years.
But speaking of my first impression, it does make me feel that Shen Boyang is fighting for re-election today and Jiang Wanan is trying to overthrow him. Even in the initial courtesy exchange, when Shen Boyang asked the mayor "Are you okay?", the mayor entered a fighting state from the beginning and directly replied to him "We can have a good direct confrontation."
This is indeed a bit unexpected. I thought he had said a while ago that he would have a positive election campaign.
It turns out that the so-called front is a head-on conflict.

Entering the stage of application.
The two people are indeed adjusting their speaking speed. Shen Boyang has obviously slowed down, while the mayor has speeded up a lot. Basically, there aren't many problems with the other two people's arguments. It's just the differences between the two people's paths in the past few months. Shen Boyang is here to lay out his policies in the past few months. Regardless of whether they are good or bad, whether he agrees with them or not, he just smoothly finishes what he wants to express.
Although there is no practice of carrying out large-scale construction according to the policies of other candidates in the past, the concept of "you say I will do it" is brought out. Do you want to say that there is any positive criticism of the city government team? It's not bad, just like the matter of suturing the north and south, the north city government is now implementing it. Most people also know that this is a long-term illness. They are just looking to see if anyone can come forward to solve it and come up with a better way.
What surprised me most about the mayor was
Even if someone asks you about your health, you directly reply with a "direct confrontation". It sounds like a real gun, but if a current mayor is so "confident", to be honest, it may not be a good thing. As for the discussion part, it is similar to what he has talked about in the past few months. The few things that people have not noticed are probably the parts he brought to the Dadaocheng River Embankment.

He did indeed do this well and deserves recognition. But for other things like Huiru, Dajuda, and Raw Eggs, I seriously suggest that you don’t need to talk about them anymore. After all, they will just become the next talk show’s meme.
Next
Although the cross-examination part is a bit funny, it can be seen that the two routes are different.
If the mayor is facing a traditional candidate today, the strategy of aggressive attack at this time is correct, because in the past impression this is the norm. Although this is also what I find the most boring, it can be said to be a normal performance.
But Shen Boyang's first question was really a scoring question, just asking about the SOP for accidentally cutting down a tomato tree.
This is really easy to answer, and as long as you are doing data collection and opponent research, this should not be difficult to deal with. However, the mayor replied that "reducing the canopy does not mean cutting down trees", and did not add the answer until the conclusion later. In addition, as for the update, I think this is also the achievement that the mayor is most proud of. [Relaxing restrictions] is indeed a good direction, and what Shen Boyang has done here is more like a [follow-up] measure.
But the mayor jumped up again when he heard this. He really had a fighting spirit today.
It is also a pity that many of the questions are actually scored, such as asking those who attended the meeting. This has been asked for several months. The staff team should have come up with a way to deal with it long ago. This is also the source of many Internet memes. In the end, the mayor still has no way to answer, which is really quite a pity.
He once again emphasized that if you are doing Internet public opinion research, the best way to resolve the stereotype of "Ask A and Answer B" is to answer the question in a "question-breaking style", but he did not do it today either. Although Shen Boyang did make some turns, it was just not that obvious. In contrast, he looked much normal.
finally
In the media questions and conclusions, the people who need to be answered are actually the media people, and they should make explanations to the citizens, rather than focusing on attacks again.

Of course, again, this should have been normal in the past, because everyone would scold and curse, but when your opponent doesn't do this today, but you follow suit, it will appear that you are attacking your opponent in a "spoiling" way. Of course, the stratosphere will be very enjoyable to listen to and can encourage the base.
But this is not a rally, brother.
To be honest here, I think Shen Boyang’s answer to Du Geng’s issue was not clear enough. This is also a question that the team should go back and think about, such as how to explain the concept of [companion] more clearly, so that people who meet Du Geng in the future (which I think most Taipei citizens may encounter in the future) have clearer guidelines.
Finally, calm down and think about it.
Perhaps we just see the emergence of a new generation's way of discussing public issues. Because the discussion is not about quarreling, it is not about saying "you don't understand" at the beginning, because others may really understand better than you, and we all still have too many things we don't understand to learn. Maybe Shen Boyang really didn't understand it at first, but by practicing "Mayor, please listen to me" and listening more, collecting information and understanding the problem, he gradually understood more and more.
Listening, understanding, thinking, discussing, and executing is the most reasonable and best problem-solving model.

When you start by saying "You don't understand" or "I'm a professional" and don't even want to do it, it will often end up being stubborn.

During the Taipei mayoral election debate, Shen Boyang questioned Jiang Wanan's inconsistent standards in handling food safety cases and mentioned the Baolin Tea House case. Jiang Wanan claimed that the city government "makes it impossible for Baolin to escape", but was refuted by public opinion. The business owner has ceased operations and fines have not been paid, leaving the victims' families with no way to seek compensation.

People's Party founding chairman Ko Wenzhe expressed his views on the televised debate between Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and Chiang Wanan. Ke Wenzhe said that Jiang Wanan should take advantage of his current position and explain his political achievements calmly, and emphasized that municipal work is like a doctor saving people, and that responsibility should be the priority and there is no need to pay too much attention to thanks.

TVBS and Sanli, the organizers of the Taipei Mayor’s Televised Debate, confirmed that they will provide media questions to the candidates in advance. DPP candidate Shen Boyang said in an interview that he had indeed received the question the day before the debate, but it was unclear why the organizer made this decision.

The founding meeting of the campaign headquarters of DPP Changhua County Mayor candidate Chen Suyue was held in Changhua City on the evening of the 31st. A large number of people poured into the scene, and nearly 10,000 seats were filled instantly, creating a warm atmosphere.

During the debate, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan claimed that former mayor Ko Wenzhe was being pursued by the Democratic Progressive Party, which aroused strong doubts from veteran media person Chen Huiwen. Chen Huiwen criticized Chiang Wanan for "waking up from a big dream" only 28 days before the election. It is really sad and disgraceful to bow to corruption for votes.

The State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China recently issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Archaeological Work", which proposes to cultivate 5 to 10 joint Sino-foreign archaeological demonstration projects, deepen international cooperation in key regions such as the "Belt and Road" countries, and enhance international academic exchanges in Chinese archeology and the influence of Chinese culture.
