First televised debate for Taipei mayoral election held; Shen Boyang and Chiang Wan-an face off

On the afternoon of October 31, less than four weeks before the nine-in-one elections, the first televised debate for the Taipei mayoral race was held. DPP candidate Shen Boyang proposed three policy platforms: planting trees, addressing child abuse, and improving school lunches. Incumbent Mayor Chiang Wan-an criticized his proposals as vague, listed his own administrative achievements over the past four years, and presented a vision for building a Taipei AI park.
