Why It Matters
Last month, Chen Yongde posted on Facebook, "The bureau dad has gone home and asked for leave," which aroused attention from the outside world as to whether he would leave the city government to support the election campaign. Jiang Wanan confirmed at the time that Chen Yongde had indeed considered resigning before the election, but subsequent personnel arrangements and his departure had not been finalized.

Last month, Taipei Civil Affairs Bureau Chief Chen Yongde wrote on Facebook, "The bureau dad has gone home and asked for leave." This sparked heated debate. At that time, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan confirmed that he had considered resigning before the election to join the auxiliary election; he did not expect that Chen Yongde posted again last night, calling the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang "an ocean current" and "awesome". He even wrote, "What Chiang Wanan has done is not as good as the nonsense you said. The article is almost over." This sparked discussion in the political arena. Jiang Wanan said in an interview today (9th) that Chen Yongde has always adhered to his post and was very dedicated. He will definitely work side by side with the city government team to benefit the citizens.
Jiang Wanan attended the Christmas Day Ceremony of the Chenghuang Temple in Taipei this morning. It was originally rumored that Chen Yongde would also attend, but only Jiang Wanan appeared at the scene. The media inquired about Chen Yongde's post last night praising "Ocean Current" for being great, but he did not show up. When announcing his itinerary this morning, Jiang Wanan said, "Everyone knows about Brother De. This is his style." Local members should be aware of this. He also thanks Chen Yongde for working with him all the time and taking care of local citizens at all times.
As for whether Chen Yongde understood the meaning of "the performance will be over in another month" and "almost finished" in his article, and whether Chen Yongde is still at his job, Jiang Wanan said that of course Chen Yongde is still at his job. He has been sticking to his post and is very dedicated. I believe he will fight side by side with the city government team and continue to benefit the citizens of this city.
