Why It Matters
Both Shen Boyang and Chiang Wanan are seeking support for the Taipei mayoral election and gaining influence by visiting local politicians.
Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party paid a visit to former KMT Speaker Chen Jianzhi on the 5th, creating a "breaking circle" momentum. Not to be outdone, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan made an impromptu visit to Chen the next day through Chen Xuesheng, director-general of the Taichung City Industrial Policy Council. Kenji, Chen Xueshengjin pointed out that as early as a week ago, he coordinated to receive the chairman of the General Assembly Lu Xiuyan on November 12. Because Shen Boyang visited in advance, "everyone was nervous", so he visited in advance and invited him personally to show respect for the speaker.
Chen Xuesheng said that many committee members and parliamentarians were anxious about Chiang Wanan's election and took the initiative to invite him. He hoped that the old speaker Chen Jianzhi would lead a team to Chiang Wanan's campaign headquarters to cheer him up. It was originally coordinated a week ago and arranged to be received by Lu Xiuyan, the chairman of the General Election Committee, on November 12. Because Shen Boyang paid an early visit, everyone was worried that Chiang Wanan had lost his etiquette, so they arranged the visit in advance and invited him personally to express their respect for Chen Jianzhi.
Chen Xuesheng said that Chen Jianzhi's meeting with Jiang Wanan yesterday suggested that he should grasp the overall situation and not be bound by the opinions of a few people. He should view the development of the situation from a more comprehensive and macro perspective. He also encouraged him to work hard in this election because of the hard work.
Chen Xuesheng refuted the outside world's doubts about Jiang Wanan's cold attitude towards the invitation to compete for president. This was someone taking advantage of the opportunity. He coordinated the relevant invitation in advance and invited former Speaker Chen. Lu Xiuyan also personally called to invite Chen Jianzhi. Chen Jianzhi will still go to the competition on the 12th.
In response to criticism from the outside world, Chen Xuesheng frequently appears in political events in Taipei. Last month, he posted a photo on Facebook in the barbershop of the Legislative Yuan with Legislative Yuan Han Kuo-yu. This time, he coordinated the trip to visit Chiang Wanan. He was questioned whether he was focusing on the Taipei election campaign.
In addition, last month Chen Xuesheng posted a photo on Facebook in the Legislative Yuan's barbershop with Legislative Yuan Han Guoyu. He was questioned by the outside world for being in Taipei City all day long to support the election. Chen Xuesheng stressed that he worked a lot in Taichung and tried his best to promote business. He has been used to blow drying the hair of the Legislative Yuan hair sister for more than 20 years. This visit to the speaker of the Legislative Yuan was requested by an old colleague. He asked for leave the day before yesterday and will also ask for leave on the 12th to accompany him. He emphasized that he does not go to Taipei often and will take leave whenever he leaves Taichung.
Zhou Yonghong, the chief convener of the Democratic Progressive Party's Taichung City Council caucus, disagrees, criticizing that Taichung faces oil shortages, drone industry development, and industrial and commercial promotion issues that need to be dealt with urgently. As the director-general of the Industrial Policy Council, Chen Xuesheng travels to Taipei all day long to cooperate with Lu Xiuyan's presidential layout. He has no interest in Taichung affairs. He denounces that asking for leave is not an excuse. Since his mind is not in Taichung, "it is better to resign than to ask for leave." Taichung citizens should not be allowed to pay for political trips.
