Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party Shen Boyang was recently invited to appear on YouTuber Alisasha's show "Sasha Morning News". After the photo of the two parties was exposed, it triggered polarizing comments. Because Alisasha was once a well-known "little grass" and even caused controversy by questioning the vote counting process of the 2024 presidential election, some green camp supporters were puzzled by this cooperation. Taipei City Councilor He Menghua of the Democratic Progressive Party admitted in a post on Threads that there is indeed a big gap between the values ​​​​held by Alisasha and us, but continuous communication with people with different values ​​​​and positions is the reason why Shen Boyang can turn around the election.

He Menghua said that many friends were surprised and confused when Shen Boyang was invited to appear on Alisasha's podcast, wondering why he agreed? Why do you want to share the stage with Alisasha? He Menghua said: "It is true that there is a big gap between Alisasha and the values we hold. But continuous communication with people with different values and positions is the reason why Shen Boyang can turn around the election campaign?" He also mentioned: "Everyone can also think about it, at this moment, who needs to be on the same stage with Alishasa most? The answer is actually not Shen Boyang, but Jiang Wanan who wants to win over Baiying."

He Menghua explained that there is a term in Go called "first move", which means the move that takes the lead. Mastering the first move means taking the initiative, making the opponent fall into a passive response, and can also lead the game to victory. Therefore, Shen Boyang's appearance on Alishasa's show was a "first move" to block Jiang Wanan's path. "We are challengers seeking victory. We know that there are not enough votes. We expect the votes to win, and we need to continue to break the circle."

He Menghua mentioned that as seen in the programs of Wang Weizhong, Zhao Shaokang, Wang Qianqiu and others, Shen Boyang did not change his position because of being on these programs. Instead, he convinced many media people and allowed more people to stand on the same side as us. "I believe that Shen Boyang will not change his position because of being on Alisasha's program, but hopes to win more people to join our ranks."

He Menghua finally emphasized: "With less than 20 days left before the voting day, Shen Boyang is still breaking the circle. Because he knows that if we want to realize our expectations, the most important thing is to work hard to expand the team and win together, rather than holding back because of different ideas!"
