Taiwan Cultural University professor Niu Zexun asserted that the policy strategies of Kuomintang (KMT) Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an are believed to have surpassed the framework of the 2026 local elections, and may become the KMT's most important "strongest hen" in the future!

Niu Zexun mentioned that considering the situation where the Green Camp has difficulty in selecting a candidate for the upcoming Taipei City election, Chiang Wan-an can break away from the thinking of election manipulation, and carry out more warm and delicate planning for urban development and the well-being of citizens. Especially, none of these policies are easy. Many contents are not just things that one wants to do but cannot do, or after the Green Camp officials make sarcastic comments, they still have to follow up. Others are considered too many variables to handle, might offend people, and be ungrateful, so they are often hesitated and rarely implemented.

He believes that Chiang Wan-an can push these policies with forward-thinking to strengthen his performance, which can bring three benefits to Chiang and the Blue Army: including building a balanced image of strength and flexibility, guiding the Blue Army to focus on livelihood issues strategy, and making supporters' political imagination and expectations for Chiang's future more obvious and even more urgent.

It is understood that recently, Chiang Wan-an has launched several policies that have been very noticeable for parents with young children. Although he was criticized by the Green Camp for insufficient support measures and low budget, many young parents among the Green Camp supporters also accepted them. This shows that Chiang's administration has started to accumulate political energy for 2028 by actively seeking the support of young parents. Chiang Wan-an's attempt to lead the agenda shows his political ambition. Although the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) criticized the lack of support measures and low budget, they dare not criticize the intention behind the policy. Even Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai affirmed the intent of the policy, but could not follow up.
