According to Taiwanese media reports, the Kuomintang Taipei mayor candidate Jiang Wan'an participated in the "All-age Oral Protection Garden Tournament" held by the Taipei Dental Association, which is considered an opponent and the "native area" of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Shizhong, on the 31st. The association's consultant Yang Yimu revealed that at least one-third of the dentists support Jiang.

Jiang Wan'an mentioned the recently highly-watched resolution of the "Doctor's Law" at the "All-age Oral Protection Garden Tournament" yesterday, saying, "My attitude is very firm, and I am definitely standing on the standpoint of most dentist friends to ensure the overall popularization of medical care and the rights and interests of teachers and students in the dentist department to take the teaching exam." After the speech, he aroused applause from the audience.
The outside world is curious why Chen Shizhong, who has a wide connection in the medical community, did not attend the event yesterday. Yang Yimu said that the number of events that Chen Shizhong participated in was completed on the 25th, but he changed his subject and pointed out that the dentists did not fully support Chen, and at least one-third of them supported Jiang Wan'an. Yang believes that Jiang's advantages lies in his youth and liveliness.
About whether to support Chen Shizhong, Yang Yimu mentioned that 60% of the dentists at Taipei Medical University will support him, but young dentists are hesitant about the "Bobo Dentist" incident, while dentists from other schools are very supportive on the surface, but in fact they will not want anyone who graduated from Taipei Medical University to serve as mayor of Taipei.
"Popo dentist" refers to students from Taiwan who graduated from Poland , Czech , Spain, etc., and are called "Popo dentist". Because the professional qualification threshold of these countries is relatively low, you can get rid of academic examinations and open internship quotas when returning to Taiwan. Such a gap in practical experience has allowed the "Legislative Yuan" of the Taiwan authorities to amend some provisions to the "Doctor Law" in May this year, to make "Popo dentist" a back door to the sunset clause. Unexpectedly, there are 7 attached resolutions, one of which stated that the enrollment before December 31 this year was not limited, and it was considered that they wanted to close the door and leave a small gap.
KMT Taipei City Councilor Wang Hongwei questioned the proposal for the People's Party's "legislator" Lai Hui, who was simply trying to benefit his daughter who studied dentist in Poland.
The then "Minister of Health and Welfare" Chen Shizhong was involved in controversy and was criticized for not keeping a close eye on the door to protect local dentists. Korean Party's "Legislator" Zeng Mingzong was criticized in an interview that the "Minister of Health and Welfare" at that time was Chen Shizhong. "Chen Shizhong dared not be accused of being elected mayor of Taipei. The Kuomintang gave the strictest condemnation!" He said that the number of people in the "Legislative Yuan" is an absolute majority. In the current "law amendment" ecology, assuming that without the DPP nod and the "Minister of Health and Welfare" Chen Shizhong, the "Doctor Law" and "Minister of Health and Welfare" would not be passed in the third reading, and the relevant accompanying resolutions would not be passed.
