China News Agency, Taipei, July 11. The Democratic Progressive Party held an election meeting on the 10th, and planned to nominate Chen Shizhong, the head of the health and welfare department of the government, to run for Taipei City.

In view of Chen Shizhong's performance in Taiwan's new crown epidemic prevention and control, the DPP's move has aroused public criticism in Taiwan.

　　After the DPP made the call, Chen Shizhong immediately issued a statement saying, "When the responsibility comes, I will take it. The epidemic prevention is like this, and the election is like this." In this regard, the office of the Chinese Kuomintang mayoral candidate for Taipei mayor Jiang Wanan said that the authorities' epidemic prevention policy is in chaos. According to the global epidemic prevention resilience ranking released by Bloomberg in June this year, Taiwan ranked 52nd among the 53 regions included in the ranking.

In the face of the epidemic prevention ranking, Chen Shizhong remained silent. Instead, as soon as the election came, he shouted, "I will take the responsibility," and asked, "How can Chen Shizhong carry such an epidemic prevention achievement?"

　　According to another report from the Central News Agency, Yang Baozhen, a spokesman for the Taiwan People's Party, said that, as previously speculated by the outside world, Chen Shizhong gradually faded out of the role of the commander of the "epidemic command center" in order to "turn around" to run for mayor of Taipei.

For Chen Shizhong, who could not hold on to the original epidemic prevention work, how could he convince the citizens of Taipei that he would take responsibility to the end?

　　The "News Insight" column of the "China Times" on the 11th pointed out that the dissatisfaction of Taipei people with Chen Shizhong has been expressed in the polls.

At the beginning of the global outbreak of the new crown epidemic, Taiwan was known as a "model student of epidemic prevention". At that time, Chen Shizhong's support was "disdainful" of blue-green politicians, and the DPP locked him in challenging the mayor of Taipei.

However, the two waves of epidemics caused by the delta mutant strain in May last year and this year's Omicron strain not only shattered the "epidemic prevention myth" of the DPP authorities, but also made Chen Shizhong "fall off the altar".

Over the past two years, more than 7,000 people in Taiwan have died from the virus.

The so-called "advance deployment" of the authorities is just empty talk.

　　Taiwanese media personality Li Qingguo submitted a book to Shixin.com, saying that the DPP can recruit Chen Shizhong to run for Taipei City, but don't brag and run with an "epidemic prevention transcript".

Taipei citizens are not fools and do not eat this set.

As for the work of the person in charge of the "command center" left behind by Chen Shizhong, the DPP authorities need to explain to the people even more.

　　"United Daily News" commented on the 11th that although the epidemic situation in Taiwan is slowing down and people's livelihood is gradually returning to normal, people still need to be highly self-control and continue to implement epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks. The speed of the authorities' opening of entry is also behind other parts of the world.

Chen Shizhong's "turn around" at this time can only be called a "political turn" between him and the DPP, not only is it not "gorgeous", but also for many ethnic groups who are still suffering from the epidemic and people living overseas who cannot return to Taiwan smoothly , is more bitter.

　　The article pointed out that during this year's "nine-in-one" election, the former mayor of Hsinchu, Lin Zhijian, who was on the "last mile" of the municipality, resigned and moved to Taoyuan, and then Chen Shizhong, who was on the "last mile" of the fight against the epidemic, moved to Taipei. , There are too many cases of "gorgeous turn", and Taiwanese voters are tired of seeing it.
