As the Taipei mayoral election becomes more intense, scholar Li Zhongxian said that the biggest and most serious challenge Taiwan currently faces has always been China. He analyzed that the CCP is not only unhappy with the election of Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, but is even doing its best to prevent it. Even veteran media person Zhao Shaokang said that China's intervention in Taiwan's election is no longer a simple election campaign, but a national security issue that must be strictly investigated by national security agencies. He believes that "from the anti-United States movement to today's Shen Boyang incident, Taiwan has always faced the same core issue."
Lee Chung-hsien posted on Facebook today (14th) that taking artist Tsai Kang-yong as an example, Tsai Kang-yong only attended Shen Boyang’s event and was subsequently subjected to pressure from China. KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen even more clearly pointed out, “Doesn’t he not want China’s huge interests?”

Li Zhongxian continued, "The Taiwan People's Party seems to be dying, and Huang Shanshan's post has also awakened it. During the Chinese New Year, Huang Guochang and a bunch of politicians that China likes paid New Year greetings to the Chinese people at the China Review Society, but Huang Shanshan did not! Someone in China or Hong Kong is talking about Chiang Wanan's family. Is it making red money in China? Or is it because Jiang Wanan's American law firm is helping Chinese companies go public in the United States? China will not and cannot let Jiang Wanan's domino fall. The original intervention was relatively low-key, but considering Jiang Wanan's personal conditions, it has to take action. "
Li Zhongxian emphasized, "Taiwan's biggest and most serious problem is China. This authoritarian country desperately wants to annex Taiwan, so the political environment is no different from when it was against the Purple Light."
Li Zhongxian pointed out that Qiyou Tuan certainly did not discuss that MediaTek Chairman Cai Mingjie was making red money, but he may have made the most red money in Taiwan. But we have no criticism of him. In fact, there is nothing to criticize. As long as he uses normal means to make red money, everyone should admire him. "The question about anti-United Light is: Will this matter endanger Taiwan's national security and future economic development?"
Seeing that Shen Boyang continued to respond to external controversies late at night, Li Zhongxian said frankly that he was very sad, "Many people told him to go back to sleep and take care of his body. His body is no longer his personal body, but is connected to some extent with the fate of Taiwan." He reminded, "This is definitely not the only way China can interfere in elections." Faced with the Chinese Communist regime's attempt to annex Taiwan, Taiwanese society's basic response logic at the political and economic levels should be to carefully evaluate things that China strongly opposes or supports, and to think about how to respond from a corresponding standpoint.

Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China, said that safeguarding unity and opposing "Taiwan independence" is the common will of all Chinese people. He accused Shen Boyang and Tsai Kangyong of making money from China while supporting Taiwan independence and being "two-faced people." The Mainland Affairs Council emphasized Taiwan's freedom of elections and China threatened voters' right to choose.

The Kuomintang group pointed out that after former Executive President Su Tseng-chang replaced the chairman of Taiwan Enterprise Bank, Taiwan Enterprise Bank led the National Development Fund to invest 19.999 million yuan in "Kueshi Intelligent", where legislator Su Qiaohui's sister Su Qiaochun served as chairman and chief operating officer, raising 45 million yuan. It questioned the failure to disclose the relationship in accordance with the conflict of interest avoidance law for public officials, and questioned the subsidy disbursement process and the company's current situation.
