FTNN News Network, June 12, 2024, 7:00 PM --- The current political landscape in the new parliament with no party having a majority has led to intense battles in various issues. Newly elected DPP legislator Shen Boyang has been targeted by opposition parties due to his clear articulation and is rumored to be eyeing the Hualien County Magistrate position in 2026. However, insiders reveal that Shen has taken responsibility for Hualien at someone's request and running for County Magistrate is deemed 'impossible'. Despite this speculation, Shen's background in law and academia and his involvement in defense education make him a prominent figure in politics. The Hualien County Magistrate position has garnered attention with potential candidates like Guo Shuzhen and ongoing power struggles between factions such as with former Mayor Wei Jiaxian. Insider reveals indicate Shen was nominated as a legislator for Hualien as part of the DPP's tradition to support disadvantaged areas and groom potential candidates, with his selection also influenced by a senior party member with a strong connection to Hualien. While rumors swirl about Shen's intention to run for County Magistrate, he dismisses the possibility, stating he is focused on serving constituents and clarifying his stances rather than engaging in political maneuvers. The speculations may be an attempt to politicize his comments and undermine his credibility.

A recent study by the World Population Review reveals that the average erect penis length globally ranges from 12.9 to 13.92 cm, with Taiwanese men averaging at 12.50 cm and ranking 117th out of 142 countries surveyed. The data was obtained through surveys, potentially leading to inflated results. The study also indicates that there is little correlation between height and penis size, debunking common beliefs. Women often prioritize girth over length, and their satisfaction with their partners' penis size is usually lower than expected. Top 10 countries in terms of average penis size are Sudan, DR Congo, Ecuador, Republic of Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Venezuela, Lebanon, Colombia, and Cameroon, while The Philippines, Korea, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Cambodia, North Korea, and Thailand rank at the bottom.
