Democratic Representative Lin Chun-hsien donated campaign banner canvases to provide temporary shelter in the wake of Typhoon Danas, which struck southern Taiwan. Lin's donation of approximately 100 canvases was intended to cover damaged roofs in the disaster zone. However, a former People's Party candidate, Chiang Ming-tsung, criticized the move on social media, suggesting more banners were available. The criticism sparked online debate, with some users accusing Chiang of being insensitive to the disaster's impact. Lin had previously pledged to reduce campaign signage.
