Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yen said that Trump would sell weapons to Xi Jinping. City Councilor Lin Deyu of the Democratic Progressive Party slapped her on the spot and pointed out that Trump had denied the matter during an interview at the White House. The State Department statement also confirmed that the United States has no plans to sell arms to China, and criticized Lu Hsiao-yen for deliberately hyping up national security issues and neglecting municipal responsibilities due to the decline in opinion polls.

New Taipei Mayor candidate Li Sichuan of the Kuomintang established a labor support association on the 29th, reaffirming his four major labor political views of "pro-safety," "pro-future," "pro-family," and "pro-rights." These include increasing occupational disaster consolation payments, providing living allowances to young and mature workers who have left their jobs, promoting the development of workers' housing and childcare facilities, and increasing union rents and inspection funds.

U.S. Ambassador to China David Pound said that Trump had told Xi Jinping that the United States sells weapons to the world and asked if he was willing to buy American-made weapons. However, Trump denied the matter the next day and speculated that Pang might be referring to Taiwan, which aroused concern within the United States and international public opinion. Taiwan urged to accelerate arms sales to Taiwan, while Beijing has always opposed U.S.-Taiwan arms sales.

The Trump administration used taxpayer funds to air self-promotional television ads in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections, saying it would drive out communists and fascists and defeat the fake news media. The White House called the ad a patriotic public service announcement, but Democratic and Republican lawmakers criticized it as a misuse of public funds and un-American.

Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang was exposed to the news that four senior managers of his Erxin Cooperative went to the election committee to accompany him to register for a campaign during working hours on September 1, and were suspected of administrative non-neutrality. Xie Guoliang did not respond when interviewed, but instead accused the DPP mayoral candidate Speaker Tong Ziwei’s father of publicly supporting his son’s mayoral election at the Civil Defense Dinner, which was not neutral. A spokesman for Tong Ziwei's office pointed out that it is only natural for a father to cheer for his son, but it is abnormal for company employees to support the boss's family in elections and should not be confused. There are also reports that when Tse Guoliang ran for election four years ago, there were also two-letter bankers and school teachers to help canvass votes. This collective appearance was questioned as an organized mobilization.

U.S. President Trump mentioned the World War II Flying Tigers during the Trump-Xi meeting and said that the United States and China had been important allies, raising concerns about whether he ignored the existence of the Republic of China. Ko Wenzhe, founding chairman of the People’s Party, pointed out in an interview that the U.S. government’s foreign policy is based on international realism, emphasizing that if Taiwan itself does not value the history of the Republic of China, foreign countries will naturally not care. This kind of reaction is the norm in international political reality.
