Councilor Li Mingxian said that Jiang Wanan can just follow the rhythm, and everyone’s selection process is different. At present, Jiang Wanan’s non-public itinerary will be provided to members of the blue camp. Several non-public itineraries will be arranged on the 26th and 27th. At that time, these itineraries will be attended by the legislators. In the future, there will be various labor groups, professional groups, support clubs, etc. Jiang Wanan’s non-public itinerary is very intensively arranged.
Councilor Xu Shuhua believes that there must be many activities during the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the KMT's organizational plan, Jiang Wanan has to show up for large-scale events. If it is an easy choice, Jiang Wanan can certainly spend time with his family. However, the current situation cannot be underestimated, including Wang Weizhong's exclusive interview with Shen Boyang, which has reached a new high in viewership. Shen Boyang is trying his best to break through the stratosphere in the face of various interviews.
Xu Shuhua said that on the other hand, Jiang Wanan is now avoiding tough questions when facing the media, because Jiang is often wrong when he talks more. Faced with Shen Boyang's image that suits the younger generation, his eloquence and argumentation are all in place. The electoral tone that the Chiang camp can control has been broken. Now Chiang Kai-shek does not dare to go head-on and tries not to highlight Shen Boyang's strengths. "Hiding during the holidays is not necessarily to spend time with the family. It should be discussing with the team to decide on the election strategy."

Former legislator Hsu Yu-jen analyzed that Xi Jinping linked the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" to the reunification of Taiwan, and pointed out that the US arms sales to Taiwan continue to be put on hold, and Taiwan should pay attention to the timing of unfreezing arms sales, rather than just the atmosphere of the summit.
