n November 28, 2026, Taiwanese voters will head to the polls to elect over 11,000 local officials across nine levels of government. In this episode of What's the World Up To?, host Morris breaks down why Taiwan's "9-in-1" local elections are far more than municipal contests—they serve as President Lai Ching-te's crucial midterm referendum, a preview for the 2028 presidential election, and a testing ground for AI-driven cognitive warfare. We trace the historical "North Blue, South Green" political divide across the Choshui River, examine key battleground races in tech hubs like Hsinchu and southern strongholds like Tainan, and explore how shifting independent voters and geopolitical pressures are shaping Taiwan's democratic resilience.

Taiwan | 300,000 Comments, One Word: How "Drug" Took Over the Taipei Mayor Race

台灣 | 一個 drug 引爆 33 萬則留言：沈伯洋舊文 vs. 蔣萬安紅線，減害政策到底有沒有用？

A 2014 essay written under the pen name "Puma" has become the hottest fight in the Taipei mayoral race. DPP candidate Puma Shen (沈伯洋) launched a campus anti-drug plan; the KMT dug up his old essay on equating drugs with medicine and providing users with clean needles. Mayor Chiang Wan-an (蔣萬安) drew a "red line," his Facebook post drew 300,000+ comments in about 12 hours, and the CDC director weighed in at midnight with 20 years of harm-reduction data. We untangle what Shen actually wrote, what Taiwan's methadone and needle programs really do, what the numbers say, and which questions are still unanswered, 55 days before the November 28 election. 一篇 2014 年以筆名「撲馬」發表的舊文，成了台北市長選戰最火熱的戰場。沈伯洋提出校園「反毒四招」，藍營隨即翻出他當年「把毒品和藥品劃上等號」、「提供吸毒者毒品與乾淨針頭」的文字；蔣萬安喊出「毒品就是紅線」，臉書貼文 12 小時湧入 33 萬則留言，疾管署長羅一鈞凌晨端出二十年減害數據：避免 13,664 人感染愛滋，每 1 元省 19 元。這集帶你搞懂美沙冬是什麼、清潔針具從哪年開始、兩邊各說對了什麼，以及距離 11 月 28 日投票只剩 55 天，這把火接下來會怎麼燒。
