The Taipei City Council’s Kuomintang group held a press conference today (7th) on “Protecting the Next Generation and Rejecting the Influx of Drugs to Taipei”, with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan’s campaign team spokesperson Yang Pei-hsien as the moderator. Councilor Qin Huizhu said that she opposed the distribution of drugs and needles in community centers. All drug production, drug trafficking, drug transportation, and drug use should be punished. She also asked Shen Boyang to "stop being conceited." She believed that the United Medical Hospital, the pharmacy, and the 12th District Health Service Center were not community centers, but professional, legal, and centrally designated units.
Mr. Hou, a person who came here, said that he used to use drugs and now has a happy family. However, his friend died of drugs in June this year. Today he stood up and appealed, hoping that more families would not be broken up because of this.

Councilor You Shuhui said that Shen Boyang responded to a netizen's question in the past about "how to provide drugs and clean needles in community centers." He supervised the drug injection center in Vancouver, Canada. The center is a judicially exempted community center that allows addicts to bring their own drugs inside for injection. You Shuhui mentioned that Canada has successively closed injection centers in recent years, and the mayor of Vancouver also said that the centers will not help solve the drug problem.
Councilor Myolie Lam asked, is the community center proposed by Shen Boyang a medical center? Why is it different from the community center that the general public knows? Furthermore, doesn’t legalizing marijuana mean decriminalizing drugs? She said that it doesn't matter if you want to be tough now. I believe that all people in Taiwan and Taipei citizens are sharp-eyed. I believe that all parents or people who are worried about being hit by drug drivers will stand up and oppose it.
Councilor Li Boyi believes that we should not reinterpret what we have said before in a bullying, whitewashing, or concave manner, and do not let Jiang Wanan’s Facebook message become a Guinness World Record. This should not be the situation in a democratic country. He hopes that Shen Boyang can restrain the Qingniao and Green Camp flankers and allow everyone to communicate on issues in a more rational, direct and discussable way.
Councilor Chung Pei-jun said that it is shameful to be a left-wing radical scholar. What is shameful is that in order to elect the mayor of Taipei, he completely slapped himself in the face, denied his past, slandered the Methadone Clinic, slandered the medical staff who worked hard in the front-line drug treatment clinics, and also ignored the hard work of the people recovering from drug addiction. Zhong added that Shen Boyang's name was posted on her advertisement in Da'an District by Shen Boyang's supporters, and it also said, "Dirty things must be purified." She will formally file a lawsuit today.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party was attacked by the blue camp for his paper discussing drug harm reduction 12 years ago. Legislator Wu Peiyi said that the attacks were mostly based on false information and even fabricated remarks that he had never published. He also invited Mayor Chiang Wanan for a public debate to clarify anti-drug and anti-drug policies.

The Citizen Oversight Congress Alliance announced the 2026 legislator evaluation. Among the 19 legislators running for county mayor, Lai Ruilong of the Democratic Progressive Party ranked first with 21 awards in the evaluation. Shen Boyang and Lin Yueqin tied for second to third. Among the top ten, only Ke Zhien of the Kuomintang entered the list and ranked eighth. The bottom three are all KMT legislators, none of whom have won awards and have many times to be observed.

The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus held a press conference to question the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lin Guozhang, who is candidate for Yilan County governor, as a supervisor and shareholder of Aite Advanced Company, which operates semiconductor business in mainland China. It pointed out that he shouted anti-China Taiwan to defraud votes on stage, but profited from Chinese business off the stage. It asked him to publicly explain China's revenue, dividends and supervisor remuneration, and criticized the Democratic Progressive Party for adopting double standards for its own members.

The Times Poll Center surveyed 1,068 people over the age of 20 in Taichung City from October 2 to 4. It showed that DPP candidate He Xinchun's approval rating was 31.3%, six percentage points behind KMT candidate Jiang Qichen's 37.3%. However, He Xinchun's approval rating reached 86%, which was higher than Jiang Qichen's 76.2%. He Xinchun said that it was gratifying to see the lead in appreciation, and said that the trend of support continued to rise.

The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office discovered that Hong Kong nationals Ju Juexian and Lin Qing commissioned a Taiwan credit reporting agency to monitor the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, suspected of violating the personal data protection law. Four business operators were prosecuted and the Hong Kong suspect was wanted. Cai Qichang, chief convener of the Democratic Progressive Party, pointed out that the case involved a dual attack model of overseas surveillance and domestic cognitive operations, and criticized some people in the past who falsely accused Shen Boyang of directing and acting and mobilized cyber troops to spread rumors and smear the case.

Media person Huang Weihan criticized KMT legislators for misinterpreting Shen Boyang's 2014 anti-drug statement as the 2026 Taipei mayor's campaign for "community drug distribution," saying it was neither responsible, smart nor appropriate. He also clarified that Shen Boyang was discussing foreign medical practices for uncontrollable drug addicts and had nothing to do with widespread drug distribution.
