Shangguan Qiuyan, a senior county councilor in Zhudong and Wufeng constituencies in Hsinchu County, has 43 years of experience in the Kuomintang. She recently appeared in the election campaign of DPP county magistrate candidate Zheng Chaofang. On the 8th, she publicly shouted "support Zheng Chaofang" at the Zhudong market. On the 9th, she announced that she would voluntarily give up her party membership. She also blasted KMT candidate Xu Xinying as a "chameleon", questioned her political stance, and declared that Zhudong's interests would be given priority. This move may shake the defense line of the Lanying Iron Ticket District and become a key focus of observation in the Hsinchu County Mayor election.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party announced that he will take leave from the Legislative Yuan from now on to devote himself fully to the election campaign. He said that since he was nominated on May 13, he has used his spare time after work in the Legislative Yuan to visit markets, streets and alleys, listen to citizens' demands, and hopes to strive for opportunities to serve citizens in the next four years.

The Hsinchu County Election Committee will hold for the first time a public television political speech for the county magistrate election from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on November 19, which will be broadcast simultaneously through Beijing TV Cable TV and YouTube channels. A total of 8 political speeches for county councilors will be held in various towns and cities from the 18th to the 25th.

DPP Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun called for votes at the Garden City Market on Wuriming Road, calling on his opponent, KMT Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen, to participate in the public TV political debate on November 17. At the same time, the Kuomintang group of the Legislative Yuan questioned He Xinchun's husband, Xie Junxiong, for bribery related to the design and supervision of the Nagu Hall in Shengang Township, Changhua County. The sentence was confirmed and asked for his response.

When a Chinese netizen applied to travel to Taiwan, the Immigration Department asked for a replacement document because the booking form showed "Taiwan, China" and was asked to sign a statement respecting Taiwan's sovereignty. Director of Immigration Lin Hongen said that people coming to Taiwan must abide by Chinese laws and regulations, and the terminology for individual cases will continue to be refined to avoid misunderstandings.

The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus accused He Xinchun's husband, Xie Junxiong, of providing a 15% kickback for winning the design and construction supervision bid for the Nagu Pagoda in Shengang Township, Changhua. The He camp clarified that the bribe seeker was Zeng Huanzhang, the township head of the Kuomintang. The case has been settled in 2022, and legal action has not been ruled out.
