Shen Boyang is a candidate for mayor of Taipei from the Democratic Progressive Party. He has written articles discussing drug harm reduction policies in the past. A KMT legislator recently sparked an election controversy by accusing him of advocating providing drugs to drug users in community centers, citing his past articles. Media person Zhan Lingyu posted a post on social platforms criticizing the Kuomintang's "Five Tiger Generals" anti-drug joint statement for being empty in content. It only relied on misinterpretation of one sentence and repeated it over and over again, questioning its electoral methods.
KMT legislators accused DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of advocating "providing drugs to drug users in community centers" in the past. Shen Boyang clarified that his past articles discussed drug harm reduction and had nothing to do with encouraging drug abuse, and emphasized that he "does not advocate the decriminalization of drugs." Media person Zhan Lingyu mentioned the "Anti-drug Joint Statement" posted by Jiang Wanan's "Five Tiger Generals" and questioned the Kuomintang, "If it doesn't spread rumors, there will be no election?"
Zhan Lingyu posted on Facebook the anti-drug posters of Wang Hongwei, Li Yanxiu, Luo Zhiqiang, Xu Qiaoxin, and Lai Shibao. She commented on one poster of five legislators, with the words "I fight drugs" in big letters. All members of Jiang Wanan's five tigers were present, and the battle was large but the content was empty. Zhan questioned: "Excuse me, who in Taiwan is not anti-drug? The entire joint statement has been repeated over and over again, and it is only supported by one sentence: "Provide drugs to drug users in community centers." A statement has been repeated nearly 10 times. It seems that if you read it a few times, it will become true."

Zhan Lingyu pointed out that the most exciting thing is the "in other words" in the middle of the statement. Because Shen did not admit his mistakes according to your script, what was discussed in 2014 "became Shen Boyang's political opinions." This is not called an argument, but framed. What are your opponent's political views, and when will it be your turn to write for him? Zhan Lingyu continued to point out that what's even better is that he even stated that "no one is opposed to methadone therapy." That's strange. Public health circles around the world have been talking about harm reduction and alternative therapies for decades, and Taiwan itself has been doing it for almost 20 years. They clearly know that this is a discussion in the same context, but they insist on cutting it into the most sensational sentence to scare parents and elders.
Zhan Lingyu believes that this is not a matter of not understanding, but "pretending not to understand." Not understanding is a matter of degree, while pretending not to understand is a matter of character. The five legislators have the power to question, budget, and amend laws. The drug-driving sentence can be revised, the campus anti-drug budget can be increased, and the treatment resources can be supplemented. As a result, the biggest anti-drug action before the election was to make a poster with five poses.
Zhan Lingyu asked back: "If Jiang Wanan's performance in power is strong enough, does he need to rely on this kind of thing to help the election?" Zhan Lingyu also criticized in the end: "If you can't win with policies, you'll beat people. If you can't beat people, you'll put a label. If the label isn't strong, just five people will put it together. This is the level of the Five Tiger Generals and the character of the Five Tiger Generals. If you don't spread rumors, won't there be an election?"
