According to a report from the World Wide Web, on the 11th, Tsai Ing-wen attended the certification ceremony of the academician of the "ITRI" in Taiwan. Unlike in the past, there were a large number of security personnel dressed in white accompanying Tsai Ing-wen, and the atmosphere at the event was very tense.

Taiwan media said that after Tsai Ing-wen arrived at the event that day, a large number of security personnel followed her closely. When the "ITRI" experts explained, the security personnel scattered and stood around Tsai Ing-wen in the middle, and the unrelated staff were isolated from the outside, and the outermost security personnel monitored the movement of the venue. The situation on side vigilance is very different.

In fact, it is not surprising that Tsai Ing-wen put on a cautious and startled posture that day. Recently, there have been gunshots on the island, and there have even been shootings against Taiwan officials.

At around 3 am on the 10th, two gunmen on motorcycles arrived in front of a company in Xuejia Industrial Zone, Tainan City. They used long guns to shoot 58 shots at the building, and then went to Tainan City Councillor Xie Caiwang's election headquarters to shoot 30 shots. gun. Since the early hours of the incident, there were no casualties in the two shootings.

According to the island’s media, the two buildings that were shot belonged to the property of DPP officials. The company in the Xuejia Industrial Zone in Tainan was owned by Guo Zaiqin, the “Central Executive Committee Member” of the DPP, and was then subletted to others. Xie Caiwang's daughter Xie Shufan is also a member of the DPP and is running for Tainan City Councillor.

As of the 11th, the Taiwanese police have arrested one of the shooters, and the other is still at large. After the incident, the Kuomintang Tainan mayoral candidate Xie Longjie criticized the corruption of public security in Tainan as worrying, like "anarchy", and also questioned that the shooting case was highly targeted, which may be related to "black gold politics".

If the time is pushed forward by 3 months, there is also a vile police murder case in Tainan City. On August 22, two policemen from the Tainan Civil Rights Police Station drove to a certain place to deal with a motorcycle theft. When the third policeman, Chen Junan, arrived at the scene to provide support, the two policemen who had arrived before were covered in blood and fell outside the police car. There were multiple stab wounds on his body, and one of the police officers' guns and 24 rounds of bullets were missing.

Coincidentally, the day before Tsai Ing-wen attended the ceremony, she and Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan canvassed for a campaign platform. Before the two arrived at the scene, the police found a suspicious man watching from the outside of the venue. Facing the police's questioning, the man suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the police. After the man was arrested and brought to justice, the Taiwan police confirmed that it was a false alarm. The pistol held by the man was a toy gun .

In the early morning of November 8, there was also a major shooting in Kaohsiung City. Two suspected gang members chased and shot in the streets, causing two injuries. Although the police have successively arrested 8 persons involved in the case, the rampant gangsters have made people on the island panic. The frequent shootings on the island of

are all in the face of Tsai Ing-wen's anti-black gold announcement. Although the gun control in Taiwan is quite strict, the flow of guns in the underground black market has never decreased. From 2017 to 2022, the Taiwan police seized a total of 100,000 firearms of various types and 300,000 bullets. Coupled with the inclusion of DPP officials and high-level police officers, it is not surprising that the gang members are unscrupulous, and the high incidence of shootings is not surprising.
