Li Sichuan Bidding Responds to Su Qiaohui’s Camp Question: Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu are the ones who only use single numbers to talk about polls

Quick Look

  • Pan Caixuan, spokesman for Li's Sichuan campaign office, responded to the false accusations made by Su Qiaohui camp member Weng Zhenzhou, pointing out that the poll cited by Li's campaign came from the Kuomintang's New Taipei City Council caucus internal poll and the details have been made public.
  • On the contrary, Soviet figures Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu only published polls with a single number many times during the 2018 election without disclosing the source, confirming that Su Qiaohui's camp has double standards and is accustomed to leading the trend with false polls.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The controversy stemmed from Su Qiaohui camp member Weng Zhenzhou’s claim on Facebook that the internal poll cited by the Lee Sichuan Campaign did not contain information on election and recall laws. Pan Caixuan, spokesman for the Lee Sichuan Campaign, refuted it and gave the example of Soviet figures Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu during the 2018 election. They only published polls with a single number without revealing details.

In response to Su Qiaohui camp councilor Weng Zhenzhou’s false claim on Facebook that the internal poll cited by the Lee Sichuan Campaign did not contain information on election and recall laws, Pan Caixuan, spokesman for the Lee Sichuan Campaign, said that the data quoted by the Lee Sichuan Campaign were internal polls of the Kuomintang’s New Taipei City Council caucus, and that the caucus had already fully disclosed the poll details in a public way. On the festival, the Su camp did not do any homework before smearing, and once again staged the overturning drama; and by the standards of the Su camp, Su Zhenchang, who ran for New Taipei City Mayor in 2018, and Su Qiaohui's senior legislator Zhang Honglu announced the polls with only one number, and Su Qiaohui boomeranged her father to the left and her senior brother to the right.

Pan Caixuan pointed out that Jiang Yizhen, director of the Li Campaign Office, clearly stated on Facebook that Li Sichuan's 6 percentage point lead in the polls was based on the ongoing internal polls conducted by the New Taipei City Council caucus of the Kuomintang. The caucus has previously disclosed poll details many times, and relevant news can be found by casual inquiries. Su Qiaohui's children are civilian representatives, but they did not even do basic verification work. They rushed to attack Li Sichuan for Su Qiaohui, but they hit his own family hard.

Pan Caixuan said that when Su Zhenchang and Hou Youyi ran for mayor of New Taipei City in 2018, then Secretary-General of the Democratic Progressive Party Hong Yaofu publicly declared at the end of October that based on internal data, the difference between Su Zhenchang and Hou Youyi was only 0.2 percentage points. This action proves that Su Qiaohui’s family members have repeatedly discussed the polls with only a single number, without revealing any details. This is perfectly in line with Su Qiaohui’s camp’s claim of violating the election and recall law. “Excuse me, Su Qiaohui, do you want to report Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu for violating the law first?”

Pan Caixuan said that comparing the two, the data cited by Li Jingban had clear sources and revealed the details clearly. It was Su Qiaohui’s own family members, Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu, who only mentioned a number but did not explain any details. In order to discredit Li Sichuan, Su Qiaohui’s camp boomeranged Su Zhenchang and Zhang Honglu. Honglu not only showed that the Su Qiaohui camp had no verification ability and had extreme double standards, but what was even more ironic was that in the 2018 election results, Hou Youyi defeated Su Zhenchang by about 14.3%. Comparing the data that the Su camp repeatedly released to the outside world in that year, it proved that the Su camp was a habitual offender who was used to setting the trend with false polls.

The New Taipei City mayoral election heats up. Su Qiaohui responds to Li Sichuan's question about the universal distribution of NT$10,000.

The New Taipei City mayoral election is fierce. KMT candidate Li Sichuan questioned President Lai Ching-te's policy of issuing NT$10,000 and suggested that priority should be given to the NT$5.41 billion in New Taipei City MRT funding that had been cut. DPP candidate Su Qiaohui responded that the Ministry of Transportation has made it clear that rail construction subsidies will not be reduced. The reason for the general distribution of 10,000 yuan is because the country’s economy is good and tax revenue is at a record high. On the premise that the country’s finances are affordable and there is no debt, she represents the party legislator to the president to fight for the AI ​​dividend to be shared by all people.
