The People's Association of Taipei's mayor lags behind in polls. Jiang Wanan responds to Cao Xingcheng's online abuse

The Taipei Municipal People's Association released the latest poll for the Taipei mayoral election yesterday. Shen Boyang was only 1.2 percentage points behind Chiang Wanan. Jiang Wanan was asked by the media that the People's Association has a close relationship with Cao Xingcheng. Does he think Cao's shadow is present in the polls? Jiang responded: "Are you talking about the Cao Xingcheng who was deposed?" and smiled. In fact, a few weeks ago, when the controversy over his son's study abroad at public expense broke out, Jiang Wanan was asked by Cao Xingcheng to step down immediately. He once said, "Are you talking about the general recall of Cao Xingcheng?" Some netizens dug up this response and criticized Jiang Wanan, saying, "Didn't the speech notes be updated?"

The People's Association announced the results of a poll of Taipei mayors yesterday (22nd), saying that the current Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's support was 41.7% and Shen Boyang's 40.5%, both of whom were already within the margin of error. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Wanan responded to relevant questions from the media, he laughed and said: "Are you talking about the Cao Xingcheng who was dismissed? Haha."

Some netizens discovered that when the controversy over Jiang Wanan’s eldest son studying abroad at public expense a few weeks ago, Cao Xingcheng criticized Jiang Wanan and asked him to step down immediately. When the media asked about this question, Jiang Wanan immediately replied, “Are you talking about the general recall of Cao Xingcheng?” He posted the comparison screen on Threads, sparking heated discussion.

Netizens left comments below: "Don't tell me that he has to memorize these words", "It's so funny, he looks like a keyword chat robot", "Reporters must be OS: otherwise! Who else?", "You even use it to tease others."

In response to this, the fan blog "Bombay Spring and Autumn" also posted yesterday, "Chiang Bu Ting" was asked if he thought the shadow of Cao Xingcheng was present in the polls? He responded by saying, "Is this Cao Xingcheng who is being dismissed?" To be fair, it was a hole set by reporters for him to jump into, and he immediately jumped in thinking he was being humorous.

Bombay Spring and Autumn pointed out that in addition to being informative, politicians must be dignified and not sarcastic. "Because they should not be Internet trolls like me. Occasionally, it is understandable to be offensive and defensive, but always being mean. Ke Wenzhe is the best example." Bombay Spring and Autumn also criticized: "This guy has no information and always thinks he is humorous but is just sarcastic. No wonder no former classmate and friend are willing to say how likable he used to be."
