Why It Matters
The Taipei mayoral election is in full swing, and the debate venue and arrangements have become the focus of competition between the two sides. The DPP candidate Shen Boyang's team had previously actively sought to hold multiple media debates, while the KMT candidate Jiang Wanan's camp tended to limit the number of debates.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang yesterday (12th) each sent people to negotiate the relevant details of the "TVBS" and "Sanli" joint debate. The organizers proposed to hold it on October 31. Afterwards, the Chiang camp The news was released that Shen Boyang would immediately agree to host the event, but the Shen camp had yet to make a decision, and Shen "ran away". However, the Shen camp emphasized that Shen Boyang had already scheduled to participate in the gay parade that day, but was "grabbed by the Chiang camp to guide the trend." In response, Wu Siyao, the director-general of the campaign, shouted to the Chiang camp on Facebook late last night: "It is better to argue immediately than to spend time on tricks!"
Wu Siyao said that the Kuomintang has just finished smearing "Shen Boyang wants to distribute drugs in the community", and Chiang Wanan's camp is now using "Shen Boyang to escape from the debate", and the troublemaker is Luo Zhiqiang. Will there be another rumor-mongering truck on the streets tomorrow? Don't underestimate the wisdom of Taipei citizens. "Wan'an makes the choice, Boyang wants them all." Wu Siyao pointed out that it is Shen Boyang who has signed the consent form for media debate invitations since August, and everyone who comes has signed it. It is also Shen Boyang who shouts every day, "Hurry up and debate," "You can debate now," and "The more debates, the better."

Wu Siyao revealed that at the consultation meeting on the 12th, representatives of Shen Boyang's team saw through the trick of Jiang Wanan's camp to "do one first" to cover up "only one", and did not fall for the bait, that's all. First make it clear how many shows you want to hold, and then plan the time, theme, and conduct of each show. This requirement is reasonable and convenient for the media who are organizing it, right?
Wu Siyao said that Luo Zhiqiang walked out of the consultation meeting and was interviewed and said that "1+1 meeting" was possible, but he did not say anything during the meeting. At the same time, Jiang Wanan said "as usual, it is just one meeting." It was equivalent to Jiang Wanan slapping Luo Zhiqiang in the face. Where was he performing? Wu Siyao said bluntly: "Mayor Chiang loves 'immediateness' the most, so he will 'debate immediately'. Do you want it? Shen Boyang can broadcast a live broadcast to debate with Mayor Jiang, do you want it? Shen Boyang can also use a street soap box to compete directly with Jiang Wanan, do you want it?" Finally, Wu Siyao also said: "There is no need to eat people's tofu, don't play tricks, it is better to argue immediately!"
