"United Daily News" reported that Chen Shizhong resigned from Su Zhenchang today and then attended a press conference. In response to media inquiries about the outside world's doubts about "falling away" in the election, Chen Shizhong declared that "there is no falling away."

Regarding Chen Shizhong’s resignation and candidacy, some netizens on the island left a message in the comment area of ​​Taiwanese media, saying, “The commander (commander) who has fled has been fighting for the election for a long time, and the epidemic prevention is chaotic, and he is bluffing every day (referring to talking big words) , everyone feels it!” Some netizens said, “The failure of epidemic prevention has caused so many people to die from the epidemic, but they can still run to elect the mayor. This party is hopeless.”

Because Chen Shizhong also serves as the commander of the Taiwan authorities' "Epidemic Command Center" and publicly accepted the Democratic Progressive Party's call to run for mayor of Taipei before resigning from his current position, he was criticized by public opinion on the island as an "epidemic prevention deserter." Zhongshi News Network reported that the Taiwan People's Party held a press conference on the 13th to criticize Chen Shizhong's "should take responsibility" as "party responsibility is greater than responsibility", and his previous promise to "resign only after the epidemic is alleviated" was all empty talk. Cai Biru, the convener of the People's Party's election campaign group, said that epidemic prevention commanders ran for elections and believed that Taipei citizens would not support such "epidemic prevention deserters."

He was clearly "shirking, shirking, and evading responsibility."
