Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, went to the Jinan Presbyterian Church in Taiwan this afternoon (5th) to establish a "Christian Support Association", which was interpreted by the outside world to consolidate the Green Camp vote base. Shen Boyang emphasized that no group is obligated to take a certain side, and votes must be won.

Shen Boyang was interviewed and said that when he went to the Nanmen Market in the morning, someone asked him whether the Zhongzheng District was blue. When he went to the Presbyterian Church, he asked if it was a Green Camp vote warehouse, but in fact it was neither. No organization or person has an obligation to stand on which side. Everyone has ideas about municipal government, so when he came here, he also wanted to provide everyone with a vision, and votes must be won.

He said that the Presbyterian Church has long been a faith center and has given a lot of support to various citizen movements. It is now very complete in caring for the elderly with dementia. Today, we need to learn how the government can integrate with the private sector to do a better job of caring for citizens.

The media also asked, what did Shen Boyang talk about with Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai yesterday? Shen Boyang said that the two of them could not finish chatting. He also asked a lot of questions about AI integration and data, as well as chatting with the community. Chen Qimai taught many ways to manage the city. In the future, even if he has to call him in the middle of the night, there will be no problem.

In addition, the media is also paying attention to the fact that Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan was still looking at his mobile phone before the interview. Was he memorizing a manuscript? Shen Boyang said that respecting reporters means preparing answers. It’s okay to look at your mobile phone, but if the content is still asking A and answering B, you will not be able to answer the key points. For example, he mentioned this morning whether the two sides should cross-examine each other in the debate. In fact, the answers can only be good or bad, but you can always see a bunch of irrelevant answers, which is disrespectful to the media.

Open Questions

  • Will there be cross-examination during the debate between the two sides?

Taipei mayor election analysis: Chiang Wanan’s election strategy and Shen Boyang’s challenge

The Taipei mayoral election heats up at the end of the year. Kuomintang city councilor Qin Huizhu analyzed that the current mayor Chiang Wanan has adopted a "cold treatment" strategy to maintain his high profile. Although Shen Boyang's voice has grown, there is still a gap in popularity. Although the recent child abuse and municipal controversies have caused Jiang Wanan to lose about 2-3% of his support, the basic base of the blue camp remains solid.
