[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] The Taipei mayoral election at the end of 2026 continues to attract attention. UMC founder Cao Xingcheng posted a post on social media today (8th), criticizing Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's relationship with cross-strait relations, and even described Chiang Wanan as "attached to the evil regime of the Chinese Communist Party, so he is a member of the evil spirit", triggering discussions on politicians' remarks and cross-strait positions.

Cao Xingcheng mentioned that in a TV program on November 6, Qin Huizhu once asked Shen Boyang: "Is Jiang Wanan an evil spirit?" In response, he used "Bodhisattva" and "evil spirits" as metaphors and said: "How do Bodhisattvas and evil spirits compare? It is simple. The former is compassionate and helpful, while the latter is arrogant and harmful." He used this to express his criticism of Jiang Wanan's political stance.

Cao Xingcheng further cited the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948 and subsequent international human rights conventions to explain his understanding of "sovereignty lies with the people." He believes that mainland China's claim that Taiwan belongs to China's territory may trigger cross-strait conflicts and criticizes the Chinese Communist Party's Taiwan policy in strong terms.

Changing the topic, Cao Xingcheng once again pointed the finger at Chiang Wanan, claiming that the other party agreed with the Chinese Communist Party's propositions on Taiwan and criticized its attitude towards Taiwan independence. Finally, he said bluntly: "So it is not an exaggeration to call Chiang Wanan an evil spirit."
