Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan said at the mayoral candidate's first televised debate that "Paulin cannot escape and his family members can receive compensation," triggering angry posts from relatives and friends of the victims. Taipei City Councilor Ho Meng-hua criticized the city government for assisting victims and their families by only using charity money to cover medical expenses. However, Jiang Wanan was complacent about this. No wonder it caused a backlash from the family members.

He Menghua said that the Jiangwanan Municipal Government did not implement the "Grade Assessment System for Catering Hygiene Management" and actively inspected the hygienic environment of catering operators, which was the cause of the Baolin Tea House tragedy. The city government's post-event support for the victims and their families only included donations to cover medical expenses.

He Menghua said that Mayor Jiang was not only absent from the Food Safety Committee after the Baolin Tea House case, but also the special meeting for the Zhonglian Oils and Fats case that he strongly criticized this year was chaired by Deputy Mayor Li Taixing, not Mayor Jiang Wanan, who claimed that he would personally chair major incidents.

She sarcastically said that Jiang Wanan's speech on the Baolin Teahouse case made everyone realize that "Jiang Wanan is indeed Jiang Wanan" and that his lying nature remains the same.
