[Reporter Lin Nangu/Reporting from Taipei] Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan was accused of often asking A to B when asked by the media. In August this year, when the media asked him about his nickname "Baolida B", he said, "I think it's the funniest thing." It's Principal Lyle." In response to Taipei Mayor Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party who sweeps the streets in Ningxia Night Market, his popularity is an "ocean current." He responded with a smile, "I know that the flow of water never stops, and the flow of Chuanbo never stops." It was so cold that people were speechless.
Lawyer Lin Zhiqun posted a post on Facebook on the 5th, describing Jiang Wanan's true identity in one sentence: "He is actually an artist who was delayed by politics." Lin Zhiqun said that if you watch Jiang Wanan's past videos, his eyes will be bright and full of energy when he is catwalking, dancing, and looking cool for photos. "When talking about municipal affairs when facing questions, his eyes are dead."

Lin Zhiqun said that because he has no interest or enthusiasm in politics, he leaves everything to the people below, and the people below are happy to use his power as mayor. "A child who is not very smart, but is interested in acting, has been set by his parents to pursue politics. From this point of view, Jiang Wanan is quite pitiful!"

Taiwan's nine-in-one local elections will be held on November 28, and the Taipei mayoral election is regarded as a precursor to the 2028 presidential election. The current Kuomintang mayor Jiang Wanan is seeking re-election and faces a challenge from DPP legislator Shen Boyang. Chiang Wanan was elected mayor of Taipei at the age of 43. He promoted the opening of the Taipei Arena, the MRT project, and attracted Huida to set up its headquarters. However, the satisfaction of the chief minister only ranked fourth among the six cities. After Shen Boyang announced his candidacy, he changed his image and used the slogan "Ocean Current" to gain momentum.
