People's Party New Taipei City Councilor Chen Shixuan recently broke the news on a political commentary program that Kuangjun Ju Guang was watching a video of Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party. In this regard, senior media person Huang Weihan pointed out that it is unreasonable to use Ju Guangri to support candidates in the election, but the Ministry of National Defense invites scholars and experts to teach officers and soldiers to identify cognitive warfare, which is of a different nature. He emphasized that the relevant program was broadcast as early as April 2024, and the content has nothing to do with the election. He called on the outside world to clarify the "personnel, time, place and circumstances" of the incident, and not to believe it easily or forward the information without thinking.
According to media reports, the Ministry of National Defense responded on the 10th that the Juguang Garden TV teaching program had broadcast the program "How Douyin and TikTok Affect National Security" recorded by Shen Boyang in the third week of April 2024, which had nothing to do with this year's election.
Huang Weihan posted on Facebook on the 11th. He gave an example. Whether a garbage truck can play specific content depends on the purpose of promotion. He pointed out, "It is not allowed to use garbage trucks to broadcast election advertisements; but it is allowed for the mayor to use garbage trucks to broadcast municipal propaganda on 'vaccination'."
Talking about the National Army's Ju Guang Day program, Huang Weihan said that it is not allowed to use Ju Guang Day to assist candidates in the election, but it is OK for the Ministry of National Defense to invite scholars and experts to teach officers and soldiers how to identify cognitive operations in the program.
Huang Weihan further pointed out that the relevant program will be broadcast in April 2024, two and a half years before this year’s election, and the content has nothing to do with the election. Therefore, he believes that it should not be confused with this year’s election.
However, he also mentioned that after Shen Boyang's candidacy this year, whether related programs will still be broadcast in the future can be further investigated.
Huang Weihan emphasized that as long as the "personnel, time and place" of the incident are understood, many disputes can be more clearly understood.
He finally quoted the famous advertising line once said by actor Takeshi Kaneshiro, "The faster the world is, the slower the heart is." In response to the constant controversy during the election, he made suggestions: "The information is confusing, stop watching and listening."
Huang Weihan called on the public to maintain rational judgment when facing various election information, "Don't believe it easily, don't believe it completely, think about it first, and then share it."
