According to Taiwan's China Times, after the second MRI test of the " Tuantuan ", the probability of brain malignant tumors was found to be significantly increased, and the mainland will arrange two experts to visit Taiwan. Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe said that "Tuantuan" was "a wife who was about to die". On October 31, the Kuomintang group criticized Ko Wenzhe for being sarcastic, and the Taiwan "Agriculture Committee" even said that he could send "Tuantuan" back to the mainland, and he was completely cold-blooded to blame him. Former Taipei City Mayor Hao Longbin also criticized that the "Committee of Agriculture" is not a "slip" but should be "hapless".

Since the Taiwanese giant pandas were given to meet the public on New Year's Day 2009, the number of visitors to the panda hall has reached 26.28 million. The " Yuanzai " born on July 6, 2013 created 500 million New Taiwan dollars business opportunities when it was born. Now that "Tuantuan" is sick, Taiwan's "Agriculture Committee" said that "Tuantuan" would be sent back, and Ko Wen-je also said that "Tuantuan" is "a wife who is about to die" and does not require any medical assistance. Hao Longbin said that he believes that mainland China has a lot of experience in treating pandas. If the Taipei City Government held an attitude of not requiring medical assistance, he completely disagreed.
Korean Taipei City Councilor Qin Huizhu said that "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" are Taiwan's family members. Now that they are sick, they say that they are "quickly dead". She asked Ke Wenzhe, "Would you say this if it was her own family?" This is a slander. Panda does not understand politics and needs more respect and care; Taipei City Councilor Wang Hongwei also emphasized that "Tuantuan" is not an item, and it is not that the thing is broken and returns it.
Hao Longbin pointed out that Taipei City is the hometown of "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan". "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan" belong to the Taipei City Government. The "Committee of Agriculture" also said that it was really ridiculous to send it back. It should be "hapless" rather than "slip misunderstanding".
