New Taipei Candidate Su Chiao-hui Claims 'Blue Camp' Cyber-Attacks Amidst Smear Allegations

New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui has responded to accusations of negative campaigning, stating that while she does not know the specifics of her opponent Li Chuan-ssu's claims of being smeared by 'green camp' cyber-attacks, she herself has faced attacks from the 'blue camp.'

Su, campaigning with city council members and candidates in Banqiao's Chaoyang Market, addressed the issue when questioned by reporters. Li Chuan-ssu, the KMT candidate for New Taipei mayor, had previously stated he was being smeared by 'green camp' cyber-attacks, a sentiment echoed by Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an who defended Li.

Su Chiao-hui asserted that she has never attacked her opponents. She revealed that even her great-grandfather, whom she never met, has been brought up in attacks against her. She expressed a desire for the New Taipei mayoral election to focus on positive discussions about the city's future vision, aiming for a more vibrant and progressive urban environment.

The exchange highlights the contentious nature of the election campaign, with both sides accusing external forces or 'cyber armies' of engaging in smear tactics. Su's comments underscore the challenges candidates face in navigating political attacks while trying to steer the conversation toward policy and future development.

I have never attacked my opponents, and I myself have also been attacked by the blue camp's cyber-attacks. Even my great-grandfather, whom I have never met, has been brought up.
