The nine-in-one general election at the end of the year is becoming more intense. Candidates from various parties have successively set up campaign headquarters and launched street sweeps to solicit votes, actively seeking the support of voters. Blue and White passed the "Elderly Welfare Law" in a tough third reading on the 16th. It was questioned by people from all walks of life as an attempt to save the sluggish election situation and to use "policy buying votes" to gain support from groups that benefited from the policy. Many people also noticed that the KMT's election campaign was "abnormally in line with the preferences of the elderly," sparking discussion.
It is understood that Taipei City Councilor Qin Huizhu of the Kuomintang established a re-election campaign headquarters on the 16th. Kuomintang Chairman Cheng Li-wen and Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan were invited to the platform. Images of the event that day were shared by a large number of netizens on Facebook, Threads, X (formerly Twitter) and other social platforms. Among them, an elderly woman held a flag in both hands, circling back and forth to the music played by the band on stage, and even knocked over the mobile phone and tripod that were being recorded. The strange behavior quickly aroused heated discussions across the Internet.
People complained that the Kuomintang election campaign sites always exuded a strong and strange "sense of mourning", "Are you still living in the early years of the Republic of China?", "Are you sure this is not a Dharma conference?", "The style of the Chinese aunt", "This should just be a runaway "It's from Lingshan", "It's like a funeral", "Possessed by a beyblade", "It's like a funeral, and the performance is very North Korean", "It wouldn't be out of place if you put a blue and white shed and add a flower basket to write the sound."
Others said quietly, "I finally understand that health insurance is free for those over 65 years old." "These people all have a vote just like us, and the voting rate is as high as 80%." "So this is why blue old people believe that drugs are distributed in the community. I see such aunties every day. Seeing is believing." "Have you ever wondered why there are always performances by these elders at KMT venues? Because they are the same group of people who are eating the cakes given by the KMT."
Some netizens analyzed sharply that the appearance of the masses at the Kuomintang rally venue was similar to that of Shanghai, China, which was indulging in its old glory. It showed the scene of the Jin Taiban singing and dancing, and singing in the backyard across the river; the Democratic Progressive Party, which used to pursue a path of pathos and grief and indignation, has gradually transformed into a similar one in recent years. It is like a star-chasing fan meeting, a joyous gathering full of youthful energy, flammable and explosive. The People's Party, which was originally a star-chasing party, later evolved into the early-stage sad and angry Democratic Progressive Party, and then degenerated into the Kuomintang obsessed with old dreams, and ushered in the tragic situation of the song ending and people waking up to realize that no one cares.

The Legislative Yuan passed the 22nd Amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law, which stipulates that the central government will subsidize the health care premiums for those over 65 years old.

The Kuomintang group refuted it as a malicious smear, emphasizing that the amendment was intended to unify subsidies and reduce local financial burdens, and the protection of the disadvantaged would not be affected.
