Bidding: Shen is immune to external threats
Lin Yutong, spokesperson for Shen Boyang's campaign office, pointed out that when a regime publicly threatens to "take all necessary measures" and "hold accountability for life," no one can take such a threat lightly. Shen Boyang has been wanted and sanctioned by China for more than a day. Regardless of whether he visits the United States or Japan, the team will take necessary security measures based on professional security assessments. This is not to exaggerate panic, but to face objectively existing risks prudently and fulfill due safety responsibilities.
Lin Yutong emphasized that external threats will not affect Shen Boyang's determination to serve the citizens of Taipei. The scheduled itinerary will proceed as usual, and what needs to be done will continue to be promoted; we will not stop because of threats, we will continue to listen to the voices of citizens, put forward the city's vision, and continue to work hard for Taipei's future.
