Shen Boyang, a Taipei mayoral candidate from the Democratic Progressive Party, published an old article about drug policy 12 years ago, which was uncovered by the Kuomintang camp, accusing Shen of "equating drugs and medicines." On the 3rd, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan posted a post on Facebook asking Shen not to cover up the US-SA Winter Plan, and the comment area was flooded with scolds. In response, the New Taipei City Council's Kuomintang group held a press conference today to criticize Shen's past advocacy of decriminalizing drugs and equating them with drugs, and pressed New Taipei mayor candidate Su Qiaohui to express her stance. Su responded that these are long-established policies, and the Shuangtai City Government also announces them regularly. There is no need to talk too much, saying bluntly that "such rumors and distortions are not advisable."
The New Taipei City Kuomintang League held a press conference today on "Shen Boyang's drug policy remarks and drug-driving issues." Party deputy secretary-general Lin Guochun pointed out that he has been fighting drugs for 35 years and insists on zero tolerance for drugs and drug-driving. He cited the example of 30 drug-driving deaths in New Taipei from January to July. He stressed that the emerging drug "etomidate" is very harmful, criticized Shen Boyang's "drug decriminalization" and "drugs are drugs" statements that seriously harm the next generation, and called on the government to set up special drug courts.

Geng Jiwen, president of the Retired Police Association, denounced with 42 years of police experience that drug abuse will form a clique and the circle will spread and affect the next person. Shen Boyang used to advocate that drugs are drugs. Is Shen trying to win the voting rights of the drug population? If the election reaches this point, it is called corruption and requires a public apology.
Chen Yijun, secretary-general of the party group, said that Jiang Wanan proposed a "harm reduction" proposal for methamphetamine, while Shen Boyang's article proposed drug supply in the community and decriminalization of drugs. She stressed that Jiang Wanan and KMT New Taipei City mayoral candidate Li Sichuan insisted on fighting drugs to the end, and asked Su Qiaohui to clarify their stance on drugs in response to the "convergence of ocean currents" between Su Qiaohui and Shen Boyang.
In response to the KMT League press conference earlier, Su Qiaohui campaign spokesperson Liu Fangyu pointed out that the blue camp was distorting facts for the sake of the election. A quick search of the news revealed that when the drug feeding case was first reported, information about drug reactions appeared in everything from parents’ complaints to the New Taipei City Education Bureau’s explanation. Therefore, the New Taipei City Government immediately imposed the most severe fines and revoked the license of the kindergarten. Many politicians in the Lan camp also came forward to demand a thorough investigation. As a representative of the people, it was her duty to ask relevant units to take responsibility according to the development of the case at that time.
Liu Fangyu said that as for the case of Guan Zhongmin and Zhang Shujuan, Su Qiaohui never accused Mr. Guan of falsehoods in his thesis, and never made comments on Ms. Zhang’s personal affairs. The videos of the program from that year are still available for inspection word for word.
Liu Fangyu said that last week, when the gap in the polls widened and it was revealed that Li Sichuan's property declaration was unclear, the blue camp began to launch a series of negative attacks, which was like a knee-jerk reaction. Su Qiaohui will continue to lead the campaign in a positive, sunny, political and visionary direction, leading New Taipei City into a new era.
