People's Party candidate Qiu Chenyuan for mayor of Zhubei held a large-scale rally party and "Happiness Carnival Market" in Zhubei today (8th). In response to external concerns about cross-party support from the opposition camp, People's Party founding chairman Ko Wenzhe said in an interview today (8th) that although he had extended an invitation to Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, hoping for strong opposition cooperation and mutual support, the details and actual implementation of the activities were properly handled by the campaign headquarters team. As for whether Jiang Wanan will attend, Qiu Chenyuan's team currently holds a conservative attitude and has not yet determined.

Qiu Chenyuan expressed his gratitude to political figures and friendly forces from all walks of life for their support. He mentioned that in addition to thanking party founder Ke Wenzhe and party public officials for their full support at tonight's campaign party, he was also grateful for the substantial help and support from friends from the Kuomintang, former China Broadcasting Chairman Zhao Shaokang, Internet celebrity director Chen Zhihan, and local political circles such as Hsinchu County Deputy County Mayor Chen Jianxian. He can understand the party discipline or practical difficulties that some people may face.

Qiu Chenyuan emphasized that the team welcomes friends from all walks of life to participate in various informal ways, such as visiting the market, eating delicious food, singing on stage or giving short speeches. He said that the promotional activities especially focus on soft concerts, air-cushion castles and happiness markets, which perfectly echo the city of hope of Zhubei's youth and high fertility rate. For this campaign, the team has been visiting the grassroots through night markets, traditional markets and alleys for more than a week.

Qiu Chenyuan predicted that Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe will also go to Zhubei this afternoon and even serve as the microphone driver of the propaganda truck, walking with him through the streets and alleys to make a strong appeal to the citizens.

Qiu Chenyuan emphasized that the protagonists today are definitely all Zhubei citizens. He viewed this election with the most humble attitude and the most positive mood, and warmly shouted to the voters: "Kind people are kind to Zhubei, and if you are kind, support No. 3 Qiu Chenyuan." All good friends are welcome to come to the county square from 4 pm to 9 pm. Don't miss it when you pass by, and participate in this happy event for Zhubei with practical actions.

Open Questions

  • Will Jiang Wanan finally attend the campaign party?
  • Specific number of participants and scale of the event

American academic research points out that the CCP has carried out "decentralized propaganda" through micro-drama and short videos, included United Front themes in content censorship, and used free addictive content to bind overseas audiences and reshape its influence on Taiwan.

After the Israeli Knesset election, the Natanyahu camp won 53 seats but failed to reach a majority. President Herzog asked former Chief of Staff Eisenkot to form a new government. Eisenkot has 28 days to win the support of at least 61 seats. Failure to form a cabinet may lead to another general election.

Li Qianlong said that the ocean current fermented too early and the crisis in the blue camp has passed. Zhan Lingyu criticized "self-anaesthesia"

Li Qianlong, vice chairman and secretary-general of the Kuomintang, believes that the "ocean current" effect poses a threat to Kuomintang candidates, but it fermented too early and the crisis has now passed. Media person Zhan Lingyu criticized that the KMT’s pre-election announcement that the crisis was over was not confidence but anesthesia, and questioned Li Qianlong’s logic, pointing out that the “Korean Wave” also fermented early in 2018. As a result, Kaohsiung flipped, and the voting day on November 28 is still 20 days away.

It questioned the DPP's failure to support the elderly health insurance subsidy, and pointed out that if He Xinchun was elected mayor, he might cancel the benefit like Lin Jialong. President He Xinchun countered the accusation of smearing and spreading rumors, emphasizing that she had already stated that she would definitely subsidize health insurance for the elderly if elected.
