The Taipei mayoral election is approaching. Current mayor Chiang Wanan interacts with Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang on TV debate issues. Shen Boyang had accepted invitations from many media, but coordination problems arose when the Blue-Green Media Alliance tried to hold a debate.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan has finally relented and is willing to have a televised debate with Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang. Shen Boyang said today (6th) that it is of course very happy to be able to debate. Taipei City can debate issues including child abuse, food safety and other issues. His opponent has also recently raised the issue of drugs, but it seems that he does not want to discuss his policies. Instead, he wants to discuss his articles from more than ten years ago, and discredited his political views of distributing drugs everywhere. If he does not want to apologize, it would be good to have a debate.
After Chiang Kai-shek's camp agreed to the debate, political worker Zhou Xuan broke the news on Facebook that originally a pro-blue and a pro-green media and a strategic alliance were going to jointly hold the debate. "Then, this blue media came to Shen Boyang's team and asked: 'Well, what if we were the only one to hold the debate? Will your family participate in the debate? "Shen Boyang's team is full of questions. It's your family's business to betray your allies. Shen Boyang has even appeared on Wang Weizhong's program, and he has no objection to any media hosting the debate."

In an interview this morning, Shen Boyang said that he was unclear about the details of the media alliance, but it was "FTV" first, then "Sanli", and later "Mirror TV" and "TVBS", all within a week or two, so it was a long time ago when he signed the consent form for TVBS, and now he suddenly heard that it could be held, of course he was very happy.
He said that it was mentioned at the beginning that he hoped the debate could be linked to municipal issues. For example, the current child abuse seems to be systemic, the safety of nutritious lunches has exploded, how urban forestry policies can provide more green shade in the city, and how to improve transportation. These are all topics worthy of discussion.
Shen Boyang also pointed out that his opponent has recently dropped the issue of drugs. He has just proposed drug policy, but his opponent does not want to discuss his policy and would rather discuss his articles from more than ten years ago, which is quite funny. Then, with this method of smearing and spreading rumors, how can anyone believe that a candidate would put forward a political idea of distributing drugs everywhere? But this is what the other side’s camp has done. If the other side doesn’t want to apologize, then it seems good to have a debate. “So since he has brought up so many topics and created so many miracles in Taipei, I think this can be worthy of being used as a debate topic.”

Kaohsiung City Councilor Li Meizhen questioned Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai's obstruction of the progress of the Kaohsiung Purple Line. Mayor Chen Chimai responded that the main reason was the reduction of central subsidies due to the revision of the fiscal revenue and expenditure division law. Kaohsiung will be short of 10.3 billion yuan this year and is expected to be 3.3 billion yuan less next year. The planned subsidy has been short of 13.6 billion yuan in the MRT part, and the track construction progress will be moved back.

New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi reiterated his zero-tolerance stance on drugs at the "New Taipei City Happy Education Exhibition" event, believing that drug crimes should be severely punished, and pointed out that his attitude has not changed since he became a police officer.

Wu Zhizhong, Parliamentary Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that he had asked the representative offices abroad to clarify the matter and emphasized that Xu Jiaqing has the responsibility to take care of her mother. People's Party legislator Chen Qinglong denounced this as an abuse of privileges and questioned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' preemptive guidance to put out the fire. In fact, it was officials protecting each other.
