There is new progress in the Taipei mayoral election debate. Chiang Wanan's bid said that it will be coordinated and arranged by TVBS, which has attracted attention from the outside world as to why he chose the T station. In this regard, Zhang Yumeng, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Generation Community Good Association, criticized Jiang Wanan for living more and more regressing. He only dared to participate in TVBS debates and live in the stratosphere. He suggested that Jiang Wanan, who lives in fear of debates all day long, could first go to Shen Boyang's "Mayor, listen to me!" to preview.

Zhang Yumeng posted on Facebook that the debate between Jiang Wanan and Chen Shizhong and Huang Shanshan in 2022 was co-sponsored by TVBS and Sanli. How come four years later, Jiang Wanan has become more and more regressive and only dares to participate in TVBS debates? Moreover, at that time, both TV stations had co-hosts, and even the questioners were from both sides. In order to maintain fairness, we specifically did not choose TVBS or Sanli studios, and finally chose the Taipei International Convention Center.

Zhang Yumeng pointed out that at that time Jiang Wanan said that when he received the invitation from the media, he "agreeed to participate as soon as possible. Thank you very much to the TV station for hosting the debate. I will do my best." As a result, four years later, Jiang Wanan was a hundred times weaker and only dared to agree to TVBS. As early as August 29, Shen Boyang signed a letter of intent to debate on the spot at FTV. FTV also sent it to Jiang Wanan, and the Taipei City Government said it would "reply after evaluation." On September 9, Shen Boyang signed a consent form for the debate on Sanli, and Jiang Wanan replied the next day that "opinions on municipal issues can be exchanged at appropriate occasions and times." On September 16, Shen Boyang signed another consent form for the debate with Mirror News.

Zhang Yumeng revealed that in fact, Shen Boyang signed TVBS's letter of intent for the debate as early as September 20. Now, 16 days later, Jiang Wanan announced that he agreed to TVBS's hosting of the debate. It was like a universal celebration. He angrily criticized that in the past four years, Jiang Wanan has become more and more like a giant baby. He cannot speak without a nanny and only dares to live in the stratosphere. It is the first time he sees a mayor who is up for re-election and is afraid of this. He suggested that Jiang Wanan, who lives in fear of debates all day long, can first go to Shen Boyang's "Mayor, listen to me!" preview.

Open Questions

  • Will Chiang Wanan’s camp participate in debates hosted by other TV stations?
  • What will be the time and format of the final debate?
