Scholar Hu Quanwei pointed out that Shen Boyang did not show his original warm image in the first Taipei mayoral debate. He lost his temper towards the end of the debate and suffered a loss as a challenger due to his lack of administrative and regulatory experience.
The first televised debate of the Taipei mayoral election begins today. mayor of taipeixiang wannan Contest against Democratic Progressive Party’s candidates for the post of mayor of Taipeishen boyang . Scholars said that Shen Boyang’s warm and friendly image disappeared during the debate, and his “face collapsed” at the end of the debate, greatly reducing his persuasive power. Furthermore, Shen’s lack of administrative experience and familiarity with the rules made the challenger even more vulnerable.
Hu Quanwei, a professor in the Department of Spoken Communication and Social Media at Shih Hsin University, said today’s debate was more favorable to Chiang Wannan. The main focus of Shen Boyang’s policy is “streamlining Taipei”. Shen believes that Taipei’s Kaka needs to be adjusted, but Shen does not attack the fraud, nor does he explain the kind of crisis that Taipei is in. In contrast, to create an image of gentleness, listening, and civility, Shen proposed improving “trees, child care, and nutritious lunches” within the first 100 days of taking office. However, in an international city like Taipei, when the main demands are not big and the focus is on small things, the debate will become an opportunity for expression of individuality.
Hu Quanwei analyzed that when election debates lack a clear policy focus, the key lies in the candidate’s “display of personality qualities”. In 1994 heChen Shui-bian For example, when Chen Shui-bian, a radical legislator, became mayor of Taipei, his main theme was “Happiness, Hope, Chen Shui-bian”.

However, these qualities have been lost in today’s debate.
Hu Quanwei frankly said that Shen Boyang’s “face was shattered” especially during the final argument stage. A man with a broken face was claiming to give hope to the citizens, so his ability to convince was naturally greatly diminished. Compared with Chen Shui-bian’s successful image transformation at that time, Shen Boyang’s performance today seems quite pitiful in terms of personality traits.
Hu Quanwei believes that Shen Boyang has a problem of “misreading” and not confronting previous claims. However, it is the weakness of the challenger that the incumbent is not familiar with the matters, such as lack of administrative experience and unfamiliarity with the details of the rules, etc., that the incumbent has its administrative advantage; The reason Shen Boyang became a liberal is that the citizens of Taipei tend to be conservative. In the past, when there was an idea to form a municipal government, the debate was a direct confrontation, allowing the people to directly see what their stand was and whether they had the courage to respond or confront it.
