[Reporter Zheng Mingxiang/Taipei Report] DPP candidate for mayor of Taipei, Chen Shizhong, announced today that he has raised more than 98.7 million in political donations, which has exceeded the original budget, and will close the donation account at 12 o'clock tonight; Huang Shanshan ridiculed that in addition to this account, Chen Shizhong also has more money in the account of the DPP, which can provide huge party and government resources, while she only relies on small donations. She is grateful for the support of many hard-working people after the epidemic, and will continue to work hard .
Huang Shanshan's camp revealed that the amount of political donations raised is less than half of Chen's, so the campaign funds will be used on knife edge.
Huang Shanshan attended the second public political opinion conference in Taipei City today. In an interview after the meeting, she said that in addition to raising more than 98.7 million yuan, Chen Shizhong should also have more money in the account of the Democratic Progressive Party.

Huang Shanshan said that she relies on small donations, and they are all handled by special personnel, so I don’t know the detailed figures, but I can do as much as I have, and I can’t hold activities or build momentum like the two major parties have huge resources, but I still thank many people for their hard work after the epidemic The people still give their support. Many small donors know people who have lived a hard life. There are also street vendors who raised more than 60,000 yuan to buy small aids. I am very touched and will continue to work hard.
Li Yunzhen, spokesperson for Huang Shanshan's campaign, pointed out that the political donations raised by Huang's camp were less than half of that of Chen Shizhong's camp, and Chen also had support from political parties. Therefore, Huang Shanshan spent her campaign funds on the knife's edge, and never wasted the support given by every citizen. And this fund can be raised without the support of political parties, and I am still very grateful for the support from all walks of life.
In addition, in response to the series of controversies surrounding Hsinchu mayor candidate Gao Hongan from the People's Party, Huang Shanshan reiterated today that if there is solid evidence in hand, it should be handed over to the media as soon as possible, and don't use political struggles and election operations every day.
