[Reporter Lin Nangu/Reporting from Taipei] An article written by Shen Boyang, a candidate for mayor of Taipei City of the Democratic Progressive Party in 2014, about drugs was recently uncovered by the Blue Camp, questioning his position. Shen Boyang said yesterday (3rd) that he was willing to debate this issue with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, and called on Chiang not to create panic and bully Taipei people. Chiang Wanan posted a Facebook post in the evening emphasizing that "there is no room for ambiguity in the fight against drugs", which only triggered more discussions.

This morning (4th), group buying e-commerce celebrity "Mr. 486" Chen Yanchang posted on his personal Facebook that Jiang Wanan is really a record-breaker. So many people have left messages to mock him, and his incompetence is obvious. He even said helplessly: "It's really sad to think about it. With such a mayor in Taipei, no wonder he is standing still."

Jiang Wanan posted on Facebook last night that there is no room for ambiguity in the fight against drugs, and prohibiting drugs from entering the campus community is a red line that must be adhered to. In the post, he listed Shen Boyang's suggestion, "Taiwan can at least follow the example of some countries and set up community centers to provide drug users with drugs and clean needles." He stressed that Taipei City's communities are allowed to provide drugs and needles for drug users to inject themselves? What drugs will be available that require needles? If there were to be such a community, where could it be located? Can the public accept it?

As mayor, Jiang Wanan said that in addition to fully supporting the police in detecting drug-related smuggling, selling, manufacturing and use, "I also support schools at all levels to comprehensively deepen anti-drug education, as well as joint counseling from social welfare, health, psychological care and other departments. However, this definitely does not mean beautifying drugs or helping drug users." Find a reason. The vast majority of the reason for the proliferation of drugs comes from the huge production and supply chains behind it. Because money is the incentive to drive this criminal activity, this demand has been created. Governments of various countries have even cooperated across borders to combat this evil thing that has harmed human health and development for hundreds of years."

Jiang Wanan pointed out that Commissioner Shen Boyang's position on the drug issue was exposed, saying that he was creating panic. Jiang Wanan said: "I am not creating panic, I am warning of danger; the danger is not the anti-drug party, the danger comes from blurring the relationship between drugs and drugs. "The boundaries between things", "Don't use the Methadon plan to cover up: medical units are different from community centers and private institutions; Methadon is different from drug needle administration. Commissioner Shen Boyang should face up to his own opinions and not leave fear and doubt to the public."
