The Kuomintang Central City Party Headquarters issued an open letter asking the Central City Party to not assist in the election of candidates from other parties for public office. (Provided by the Central City Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang)

KMT Tainan mayor candidate Xie Longjie accompanied People's Party Taichung City Xitun District City Council candidate Liu Qinyu to the Shuinan Market yesterday to pray for votes. This caused dissatisfaction among the KMT city council candidates. Chen Mingzhen, deputy chairman of the KMT Central City Party Office, said that since Xie Longjie is a candidate for Tainan City, the Central City Party Office cannot interfere and will report it to the Party Central Committee.

On September 11, KMT Central City Party Committee Chairman Su Boxing sent an open letter to Taichung City party members and party office holders, requesting not to vote for candidates who were not nominated by the KMT. However, this open letter was only issued by the Central City Party Committee to all Central City Party office holders. As for KMT "big names" from other counties and cities coming to assist in elections for other parties, can the City Party Headquarters restrain them?

Please read on...

Yesterday, KMT legislator Hsieh Long-chieh, who is also the KMT Tainan mayoral candidate, went to Taichung City to assist the People's Party in the election. It was originally assessed that the People's Party's participation in the election in Xitun District might be detrimental to the KMT's election. The situation became even more tense, and the KMT city councilors felt a greater sense of crisis.

Some Kuomintang city councilors took out an open letter from the city party headquarters and questioned that the city party headquarters requires party officials to abide by the requirement not to support the election of candidates from other parties, but party officials from other counties and cities can come to Taichung City to assist candidates from other parties?

In this regard, deputy chairman Chen Mingzhen is quite helpless. Xie Longjie is a Tainan City Party member. The Central City Party Headquarters cannot control him, but it will report to the Party Central Committee how to deal with this issue.

The controversy over Chiang Wanan’s son’s exchange studentship in the United States and the food safety crisis of Taipei City’s nutritious lunches exposed the city government’s hesitation in policy implementation

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's son's application to be an international exchange student in the United States involves disputes over his identity and subsidy eligibility. The mayor stated that he is willing to give up his request for subsidy. At the same time, Taipei City’s free nutritious lunch policy broke out as many as 60% of the group meal bidding failed on the eve of the start of school. Later, a mass food poisoning incident occurred in Chengyuangao, central China, and nearly a hundred students suffered from diarrhea and vomiting. The article criticizes the city government for being proactive in its own affairs, but always slow to respond to city affairs, lacking in advance risk management and policy planning preparations, and only adopting a passive response model after the fact, which fails to meet citizens' expectations for public safety and quality of life.

Liang Wenjie responded to Wang Weizhong’s comment: I am the lowest-level outsider, not from the village.

CBC host Wang Weizhong conducted an exclusive interview with Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang. The YouTube video exceeded one million views. Keelung City Councilor Zhang Zhihao analyzed that for people in military villages like Wang Weizhong, Shen Boyang is a "Taiwanese kid" outside the village, while Liang Wenjie is a person who came from "the village" but made different political choices. Liang Wenjie clarified through the community that he was not technically from a "village". People in Dachen are all fishermen, farmers or small craftsmen, not soldiers, public servants and teachers who eat from the public family. He emphasized that he is the lowest-level outsider. In response to Wang Weizhong's comment that his expression was cold, he said that he was just too lazy to speak.

Minister of Labor Hong Shenhan will go to Nanjing to attend the APEC Human Resources Development Ministers’ Meeting in late September with an APEC invitation letter, becoming the first ministerial official to go to China during the Lai Ching-tak administration. China's Taiwan Affairs Office advocates handling the matter in accordance with the "one-China principle". Although it does not require a Taiwan compatriot certificate, it will issue a Taiwan compatriot certificate on its behalf without knowing it, causing controversy. Officials stressed that there was no risk in entering the country, but criticized the move as Ah Q's behavior.
