Why It Matters
The Taipei mayoral election debate was jointly organized by TVBS and Sanli, and the two camps negotiated the details of the debate.
The first televised debate of the Taipei mayoral election was confirmed to be jointly organized by "TVBS" and "Sanli". The two candidates, Jiang Wanan and Shen Boyang, each sent their staff to negotiate today (12th). The debate is currently blocked due to differences in the "total number of events" and "hosting date". Afterwards, the Chiang camp tried to influence the debate, saying that the Shen camp shouted loudly for the debate, but ran away when the negotiations came. In this regard, media person Zhan Lingyu said, "Voters are not that easy to deceive. The current mayor has four years of political performance to talk about, so he is not afraid of debates. People who really want to debate will not treat the event as a secret that cannot be told."
Zhan Lingyu posted on Facebook in the evening, "Chiang Wanan's camp put on a good play today. The play is called 'I really want to argue, but the other side doesn't dare.' Let's read the script first. Sanli and TVBS held a pre-conference meeting. The organizer mentioned October 31, and Chiang's camp agreed on the spot. , and also emphasized that the mayor "adjusted the scheduled schedule". Shen Boyang's camp said that he would take it back for discussion, and Luo Zhiqiang immediately held a press conference and sent four words: It sounds reasonable to run away. Then please answer a simple question: How many games will be held?
"This is the question asked by the Shen camp, and the answer from the Chiang camp is to finish the first one first, and then discuss the others. It will be completed on October 31, with less than a month left before the vote. Can the second round be discussed at that time? This is not called not presupposing premises, but hiding the premises in the timetable. What's more, Jiang Wanan himself finished the answer in the afternoon. Five media issued a joint statement inviting debate, Shen Boyang signed it immediately, and Jiang Wanan only said one sentence from beginning to end: According to the convention, there will be one more debate. He said "no". So what are you hiding? The mayor said at the meeting that we would discuss it later. Which statement is true?
Zhan Lingyu continued: "Look at the list of the joint statement: China Television, Taiwan Television, FTV, Liberty Times, Mirror TV. Even China Television has signed, but Jiang Wanan still doesn't sign. Shen Boyang signed one after another, and Jiang Wanan only signed TVBS. Who is flashing, you will know by counting the signatures. So. The structure of this play is very clear. No other media will agree to a date. When the other party hesitates, they immediately hold a press conference and tell them to run away. It’s my generous cooperation and it’s not a loss for you to run away.”
Finally, she said bluntly, "The problem is that voters are not that easy to deceive. The current mayor has four years of political achievements to talk about, so he is not afraid of debates. People who really want to debate will not treat the event as a secret that cannot be told. To sign or not to sign? Jiang Wanan did not answer this question today, but he has already answered it."
