According to Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News", the Taipei mayoral election in 2022 continues to attract attention from all walks of life. Among them, the Kuomintang's Revolutionary Director Luo Zhiqiang expressed his campaign to run for election, and the "legislator" Jiang Wan'an has a high voice, while the Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Shizhong, head of the health and welfare department of the Taiwan authorities, has always been regarded as a popular candidate for Taipei mayor for his contribution to epidemic prevention. However, there is still no answer. Huang Weihan, a senior media person on the island, analyzed on Facebook, "Let's talk about the conclusion first. Chen Shizhong may not be the candidate for Taipei mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party in 2022. Why? Because he consumed too quickly."
Huang Weihan analyzed on Facebook that in May this year, Chen Shizhong's poll was as high as 94%, which is not a crazy word to describe. It fell slightly to 89% in June, and only more than 60% in August. Once September passed, the polls were compared, and he actually lost to Jiang Wanan. It's only September now. How much will it be after January next year? Chen Shizhong's charm is not because he took GQs and was dressed in a shrimp party. He is not because he was taking care of himself, but because he was "protecting Taiwan"!
Huang Weihan said that the problem is that the epidemic will not be severe forever. The United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain have gradually gained control in the past few months. When the tension of the epidemic decreases, Chen Shizhong's "necessity" will be reduced. After the vaccine is released next year and the border ban is lifted, Chen Shizhong's image of the guardian god will be reduced and his popularity will slowly return to "normal".
In addition, Huang Weihan believes that the American pig is coming to Taiwan. The head of the health and well-being department of Taiwan, who should have protected the health of the people, has been pushed to the front line by the DPP in the past two weeks, and has made every effort to defend the "laid pig" and "escort meat". This will cause cognitive disorganization for the Taiwanese people. "When the import of laid pigs is imported next year and the health insurance premiums will begin to increase, it will be a big problem whether Chen Shizhong can maintain high popularity."
Finally, Huang Weihan said more bluntly that when looking at 2020, no one dares to ignore and underestimate Chen Shizhong, but what happened more than two years later is too far away. Wu Yinong, who said he would not choose now, if by the end of 2021, the poll is higher than Chen Shizhong, then wouldn’t he really not choose? Once he is no longer the "guardian saint", who said that the candidate for the DPP mayor (not only Taipei) in 2022 will definitely be Chen Shizhong?
