Did Zhuang Jingcheng promise to start the Hsinchu MRT in 4 years but get angry when questioned? The Hsinchu MRT policy of DPP mayoral candidate Zhuang Jingcheng has sparked social media debates. A screenshot provided by netizens shows that the verified account 'legislator2020' responded to questions with a series of counter-questions: 'Then why are you voting for her?', 'I doubt you're from Hsinchu?!?' and finally shouted 'If you don't believe me, just vote for me!' Another netizen reposted a screenshot asking 'Why did you delete the post?', making the candidate's communication attitude the focus of controversy. The promise was made by you - why do you need netizens to explain their voting stance? In the screenshot, a netizen criticized Zhuang Jingcheng's policy statement as insufficient and demanded 'First, explain it carefully', then asked: 'If you win, how will you get the Hsinchu MRT started within 4 years?' while questioning whether the candidate was just 'good at talking'. In response to this criticism, Zhuang Jingcheng's account shifted the focus to Gao Hong'an, asking if giving her another 4 years would still not allow the light rail to start construction, then stated that if it couldn't be done in 8 years, 'Then why are you voting for her?!? Can you explain that?' The 4-year construction is Zhuang Jingcheng's promise and should be answered by the person who proposed the policy. Why, after accepting questions, do you ask netizens to explain who they support? Using competitors as counter-question targets cannot explain how to fulfill your own promises. Asking about construction suddenly turns into questioning identity - is caring about Hsinchu now requiring verification? The more striking part is that the account then wrote: 'I doubt you're from Hsinchu?!?' and said: 'Don't just because Gao Hong'an can't do it, look down on us Hsinchu people, right?!?' Asking about the feasibility of major construction projects - how does that turn into looking down on Hsinchu people? What does the questioner's household registration have to do with whether the project can start on schedule? Public policy has no household registration threshold for questions, and mayoral candidates have no reason to shift focus to the questioner's identity just because the question is sharp. To win the trust of all citizens, you should first demonstrate the ability to accept different opinions. Netizens asked about specific methods for starting the MRT within 4 years, and the verified account's response included questioning identity and demanding voting support.(Image/Threads screenshot) Repeatedly demanding to vote for me - why should votes replace policy answers? The account then stated: 'I guarantee it will start within 4 years, if you don't believe me, just vote for me!' and added: 'And if you're not just good at talking, you should also vote for me! I'll show you!' Citizens want to judge whether the promise is credible, so they ask the candidate to explain the methods. This response repeatedly demands votes without further explaining the promotion steps. Candidates have the responsibility to be scrutinized before voting. No matter how strong the tone or how loud the guarantee, it cannot replace specific plans, nor can it demand that voters first give their trust and then wait for answers. The related comments were reposted by netizens for criticism, and another account directly tagged 'legislator2020', asking 'Why did you delete the post?', with netizens also noting that the account was closed around 6:00 PM, originally showing blue highlighting for @. Regarding these questions, the Zhuang Jingcheng team should explain the current status of the post, whether there have been any changes, and why the account was closed. Netizens reposted related comments, questioning the response to policy questions by demanding voting support.(Image/Threads screenshot) From questioning who to support, to questioning whether they're from Hsinchu, to repeatedly demanding 'vote for me', this response from Zhuang Jingcheng's account reveals communication problems when facing supervision. How to realize the 4-year construction, please answer with methods; why was the netizen's identity questioned, please explain the reason. If you want to be mayor, please first learn to respect questions and accept scrutiny head-on!
