Chen Shizhong, the candidate Chen Shizhong, spoke to the international community in English on Twitter today (10) days, saying that Musk's disparaging comments will affect Taiwan's national security, and that China is coercing global companies with business, and Musk should consider setting up the global headquarters in Taipei, After he truly understands and knows Taiwan, he will no longer have such discussions.

Today is National Day, and Chen Shizhong reiterated in a Facebook post that protecting Taiwan is the responsibility of everyone on the island, regardless of position.

From Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it can be found that the position of the mayor of the capital is related to national security.

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has shown perseverance in the face of authoritarian intrusion, protecting the lives of citizens and the dignity of the country.

In the face of the enemy's civil attack and military intimidation, the mayor of the capital must have the courage to express his stance and convey the message that "Taipei people are willing to do their best for democracy." This is not a provocation, but a display of attitude and concern for freedom and democracy.
