Last month, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang participated in a TV debate. During the meeting, Chiang Wanan talked about the collective food poisoning case at Baolin Teahouse. He proudly said that the city government team "made it impossible for Baolin to escape!" and "allowed the families of the victims to receive compensation." However, the city government did not fake the seizure at the first time. It was reported that the operator had not paid the payment and was suspected of being out of business, which made the relatives of the victims questioned and dissatisfied. Some people even jumped out to share the heartbreak of seeing young children unable to find their mothers when attending funerals. They criticized, "How can I bear to rub salt in the wound?" In this regard, Kuomintang councilor Liu Caiwei explained that administrative sanctions and compensation for family members are two different things, and the city government will assist family members in accordance with procedures.

The Baolin Tea House food poisoning case resulted in the death of six people. The operator was heavily fined 3.5 million yuan by the city government for evading inspections. However, the city government did not immediately seize the money. It was reported that the operator has not paid the money and is suspected of being out of business. However, Jiang Wanan pointed out in interviews many times that the city government also Ren immediately and promptly collected biological evidence, which became an important basis for subsequent prosecutions. The city government has also been actively assisting from the perspective of the victim's family. It even stated at the debate last month that "Paulin cannot escape" as a political achievement, which caused dissatisfaction among some people.

In the face of the controversy, Councilor Liu Caiwei explained that administrative sanctions and family compensation are two different things, and the city government will assist family members in accordance with procedures.

Councilor Liu Caiwei also pointed out that she had raised food safety inspection fines in Taipei City during the general inquiry. Among them, the top arrears were Baolin Teahouse, with a cumulative fine of NT$3.5 million. The fines were administrative fines, and administrative fines would be subject to some restrictions on off-duty work. Similar situations exist in all counties and cities. She called on all walks of life not to use her previous questions to exploit the loopholes.
