Typhoon Qiangpi hit with strong winds. A giant billboard hung by the Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen and city councilor Huang Xinhui was blown down. It smashed into a row of cars in the road parking lot. Many candidates' billboards and canvases came loose and flew around. The Taichung City Council candidate of the People's Party, "Little Grass Goddess" Liu Qinyu, wore a tight-fitting suit and recorded a video tonight saying that several campaign posters fell off and she bowed and apologized to the citizens.

Liu Qinyu said that she also had several campaign canvases fall off, and apologized to citizens and friends. Even though inspections and preventive demolitions had been carried out in advance, there were still deficiencies in prevention, and she was willing to take responsibility.

She said that before the strong wind hit, the team had independently inspected and removed signboards with safety concerns in advance. After receiving complaints from the public that the canvas had fallen off, they immediately contacted the manufacturer to deal with it, and asked the team to continue to pay attention to on-site safety.

Liu Qinyu also said that the strong wind caused damage to many candidates' billboards and required dismantling and repairs. The limited cranes and construction manpower were difficult to digest in time. It was her first time to participate in the election, so she inevitably participated in this "signboard arms race." Even though she had a relatively small number of billboards, it was still not easy to deal with, and she began to reflect on the public safety risks arising from too many election billboards.
