The Double Ten National Day Convention was held in the square in front of the Presidential Palace this morning (10th). It was reported that when people went to the security check, they were asked to not enter the "Ocean Current" Shen Boyang support small items.

A citizen who attended the National Day rally today posted a message on Threads complaining about being annoyed by the security check. He said that in addition to the streamers and badges on bags being discarded, candidates were also asked to remove their facial tissue packaging and could only enter with bare tissue. Unexpectedly, after entering the venue, I found supporters from the other camp entering the venue holding large banners to display. "It's really annoying."
From the photos posted by the original PO, it can be seen that beside the stage of the National Day Convention, several Blue Camp supporters took a group photo happily holding a large "Chiang Wanan was elected" banner.
The original PO was also dissatisfied and said that it was a small item that they had worked hard to collect, but they were asked to throw it away at the beginning. They argued at the security checkpoint for a long time before they were allowed to put it in the bag. "I just want to ask what kind of national security threat can the small item pose?"
The post sparked heated debate, with netizens saying: "Only Wan'an is allowed to fly the flag, and ordinary people are not allowed to stand down", "Although there are double standards, it is not surprising, after all, it is an event hosted by the Legislative Yuan", "Don't be upset, it is Mayor Chiang's home court, which gives him a sense of security", "That's ridiculous, this banner is big enough to take photos in front of the stage."

Kuomintang legislator Li Yanxiu's recent remarks sparked controversy over social workers providing drugs in the community, and was criticized by the Democratic Progressive Party for spreading rumors.

The number of polls released for the 2026 Taipei mayoral election hit a new low, with only 8 in the 56 days before the election. Scholar Wang Hongen analyzed that this is not a lack of internal data, but a strategic "covering" of cards across camps, reflecting the current situation that the gap between the two parties has not widened, the incumbent has not reached more than half, and the challengers continue to catch up.

In his speech at the National Day Convention, Legislative President Han Kuo-yu mentioned that some Taiwanese want to become the 51st state of the United States, the fifth largest island of Japan, or the 31st province of China. Former legislator Zheng Yunpeng said that in his 25 years in politics, he had never heard of the idea of becoming China's 31st province, triggering heated discussions in the political arena and among netizens.

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, issued a warning, saying that a fraud group is defrauding the Internet under the guise of giving away "Ocean Current" support items for free. He appeals to the public not to click on the website or provide personal information. If you want to ask for a streamer, you can go to the campaign headquarters in person.

The Taipei mayoral election is heating up, with Shen Boyang's polls drawing closer. Scholar Shen Rongqin accuses Chiang Wanan's team of engaging in a negative campaign, and questions Taipei City Government spokesperson Wei Wenxuan's alleged use of anonymous accounts to spread false information and Luo Zhiqiang's rumors.
