Following the devastating earthquake in Hualien, leader of the People First Party Ko Wen-je cycled around Hualien to promote local tourism, but faced criticism from a Democratic Progressive Party city councilor in Taipei for supporting a boycott of Hualien initiated by the People's Party due to their support for a Kuomintang figure, resulting in Ko accusing the councilor of sowing division in the country. Local businesses in Hualien expressed concerns about the negative impact of such actions on tourism recovery efforts.
