[Reporter Lin Nangu/Taipei Report] Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's campaign office stated on the 6th that Chiang Wanan and Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang have signed an agreement to invite the TVBS debate. The TVBS and staff from both sides will coordinate the debate time, location, content and related formats, and hope to complete the arrangements as soon as possible.

The outside world has questioned why Jiang Wanan was not interviewed on radio host Wang Weizhong's program? In this regard, writer Ku Ling said: "Because he (referring to Jiang Wanan) would hesitate to answer questions." And why Jiang Wanan did not accept the interview with former anchor Li Siduan, Ku Ling said: "Because he would answer questions that were not asked."

Then why are you willing to participate in TVBS debates now? Kuling said it was because Jiang Wanan thought he could join forces with the host to "fight one against the other."

Shen Boyang has repeatedly called Jiang Wanan for debate, and on the 4th, he even invited a debate on drug policy. Jiang Wanan said in an interview yesterday that the two sides have reached a preliminary consensus, and the details will be negotiated by the staff. In formal debates, any municipal issue can be discussed, including drug policy and the positions of both parties.

As for why the debate was coordinated by TVBS, Jiang Wanan did not explain directly when asked about the matter. Prior to this, media such as FTV, Sanli, and One TV had also signed letters of intent for debates with candidates from both parties.
