Why It Matters
Shen Boyang's past articles on drugs were uncovered by the Blue Camp and questioned, triggering a confrontation between the two camps on Facebook and in public speeches.
An article written by Shen Boyang, a candidate for Taipei mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, about drugs was uncovered by Blue Camp, questioning his position. Shen Boyang expressed today (3rd) that he is willing to debate this issue with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, and called on Chiang not to create panic and bully Taipei people. Jiang Wanan posted a counterattack on Facebook tonight, emphasizing that he was warning of danger. The comment area was immediately flooded with comments from netizens. However, Jiang Wanan’s campaign office said late at night that the mayor’s post was to the point and went straight to the point.
Jiang Wanan’s campaign office stated that the mayor’s article hit the nail on the head and went straight to the point, clearly opposing the distribution of drugs and needles in community centers. However, it was Commissioner Shen Boyang’s statement that the community center was gone, the drugs were gone, and only Meshadong was left as a shield.
Commissioner Shen could not face his past opinions, so the message area became busy late at night. Maybe you're really in a hurry? As of 11 o'clock in the evening, more than 100,000 comments had poured in in just two hours after the post was posted. The funds are burning. It is really hard work.
Chiang Wanan posted on Facebook that "there is no room for ambiguity in the fight against drugs, and prohibiting drugs from entering the campus community is a red line that must be adhered to." He said that Shen Boyang advocated that "Taiwan can at least follow the example of some countries and establish community centers to provide drug users with drugs and clean needles." He questioned whether Taipei City's communities are allowed to provide drugs and needles for drug users to use. What drugs will be available that require needles? If there were to be such a community, where could it be located? Can the public accept it?
Jiang Wanan said that as mayor, in addition to fully supporting the police in detecting drug-related smuggling, selling, manufacturing and use, he also supports schools at all levels in comprehensively deepening anti-drug education, as well as joint guidance from social welfare, health, psychological care and other units. However, this definitely does not mean glorifying drugs or making excuses for drug users. The vast majority of the reason for the proliferation of drugs comes from the huge production and supply chains behind it. Because money is the inducement to drive this criminal activity, this demand has been created. Governments of various countries have even cooperated transnationally to combat this evil thing that has harmed the healthy development of mankind for hundreds of years.
Jiang Wanan criticized Shen Boyang for creating panic when his position on the drug issue was exposed. He wanted to emphasize: "I am not creating panic, I am warning of danger. The danger is not the anti-drug side. The danger comes from blurring the relationship between drugs and drugs." The boundaries of drugs. "Don't use the methadone program to cover up. Medical units are different from community centers and private institutions; methadon is different from drug injection. Shen Boyang should face up to his own opinions and not leave fear and doubt to the public.
