Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, who is seeking re-election, went to Liaoning Night Market last night to sweep the streets. Legislator Wang Hongwei, North City Council Vice Speaker Ye Linchuan and others accompanied him. When the street sweepers publicly expressed their support for Yangliu Dumpling Shop "Another Village", a large number of people gathered in front of the shop and shouted loudly many times. The whole process was photographed by passers-by, who questioned whether the mobilization formation and behavior were like a "gangster siege."

The race for the nine-in-one election is getting hotter. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, who wants to be re-elected, went to the Liaoning night market last night to sweep the streets. Legislator Wang Hongwei, North City Council Deputy Speaker Ye Linchuan and others accompanied him. When the street sweepers passed by the dumpling shop "One Village", which had publicly expressed support for Yangliu, a large number of people gathered in front of the store and shouted loudly many times. The whole process was photographed by passers-by, questioning the mobilization and behavior as a "gangster siege." In this regard, textile expert "cloth bearer" issued an article criticizing the behavior of the Lanying civilian generation who took the lead in calling for battle in the arcade. It was like debt collection and was completely unnecessary.

The Facebook fan page "The Cloth Bearer - The Man Who Lives for Textile" posted an article today stating that there were only the owner's mother, foreign employees and young children in the store at the time. "Even if it was 'just shouting slogans at the door', it was really unnecessary. This statement is the same as many debt collection methods. It does not directly harass the person involved, but just makes the other party fearful at the door."

The "cloth bearer" further questioned that the person who held the microphone and asked everyone to "speak louder" was actually the accompanying legislator and dignified congressional representative. On the other hand, Jiang Wanan also went to another cookie shop with a Yangliu flag on the same day. The two parties later had a warm interaction on the Internet, and the mayor also said, "We are all one family." Proving that the mayor himself can be very personable, "Then why did he change his tune when he arrived at the dumpling shop?"

The "cloth bearer" said that when Shen Boyang was sweeping the streets at the South Airport Night Market in early September to ask for votes, a man rushed directly in front of him and shouted "Boqi", trying to provoke Shen Boyang himself. The entire scene was live broadcast and completely presented in front of everyone. At that time, many people on the Internet were filled with indignation, but if you saw the scene, you would find out. Just shake hands, end it, and move on to the next step. Even the supporters will pretend they didn't see it, and the person involved will leave in disgrace. Not long after, he went to Nanmen Market to greet Shen Boyang with a small gift, and Shen Boyang happily accepted it. "This gap seems to be very different from the street sweeping mode of the mayor's team yesterday."

Shen Boyang himself has repeatedly called on supporters not to join different camps. There is a sharp contrast in how the two camps deal with dissent.

The "cloth bearer" bluntly stated that the owner of the dumpling shop chose Saturday as a day off, obviously to avoid the escalation of the conflict. He believes that voters vote based on the policies and abilities proposed by the candidates, and if they go out to put pressure on them, their opponents will not vote for them because of this. Instead, it will only make the big picture clear. Chiang Wanan keeps emphasizing "positive elections," but his team and legislators take the lead in provocations and public trials of individual stores. Chiang Wanan and the accompanying legislators should apologize in person and not let the provocative atmosphere undermine Taipei City's democratic election style.
