蔡康永为政治站台风波连续发声：称从未支持台独、「访问不等于认同」，与王伟忠对谈影片一天内破百万观看
台湾主持人、作家蔡康永近日卷入一场横跨两岸的政治站台风波。他10月4日出席民进党台北市长参选人沈伯洋竞选总部成立活动后，在中国大陆社交媒体上受到批评，电动车品牌零跑汽车撤下了与他的合作物料，中国国务院台湾事务办公室也发声批评。
10月25日晚，蔡康永在微博和脸书发表声明表态。他说自己一直希望两岸关系友好，「从未支持台独」；自1998年从事访谈工作以来，他采访过近万名各种立场的人，「访问某位人士，并不代表我认同他的言论」，出席竞选活动是为了观察受访对象、为访谈做准备。他的经纪人事后表示，蔡康永当时正考虑先后专访沈伯洋和现任台北市长蒋万安。
10月26日，蔡康永如期出现在国民党籍台北市长蒋万安竞选总部成立活动上。他对记者表示，那篇声明既是向中国大陆粉丝道别、道歉，也是道谢。蒋万安公开表示，尊重蔡康永的看法，反对因为政治立场抵制任何人。
10月29日，蔡康永接受资深制作人王伟忠专访的影片在网络上走红，台湾民视新闻报道称，影片不到一天观看量突破一百万次。有评论把蔡康永这次被迫表态的处境，与2016年台湾艺人周子瑜在韩国节目中挥舞中华民国国旗后被迫道歉的事件相提并论，称之为「被子瑜化」。
Kevin Tsai Speaks Out After Campaign-Appearance Furor: Says He Never Supported Taiwan Independence and That Interviewing Is Not Endorsing
Taiwanese television host and author Kevin Tsai has been caught in a cross-strait furor over campaign appearances. After attending the October 4 opening of DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Puma Shen's campaign headquarters, Tsai was criticized on Chinese social media; electric-vehicle maker Leapmotor removed promotional materials featuring him, and China's Taiwan Affairs Office also voiced criticism.
On the evening of October 25, Tsai posted a statement on Weibo and Facebook. He said he has always hoped for friendly cross-strait relations and "has never supported Taiwan independence." Having interviewed nearly 10,000 people of every viewpoint since 1998, he wrote, "interviewing someone does not mean I agree with what they say," and attending campaign events was preparation for interviews. His manager said Tsai had been considering interviewing both Shen and incumbent Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an.
On October 26, Tsai appeared as scheduled at Chiang Wan-an's campaign headquarters opening. He told reporters the statement was meant to say goodbye, apologize and give thanks to his fans in mainland China. Chiang said publicly that he respects Tsai's views and opposes boycotting anyone over political stance.
On October 29, a video interview of Tsai by veteran producer Wang Wei-chung went viral; Taiwan's FTV News reported it passed one million views in under a day. Some commentators compared Tsai's forced clarification to the 2016 case of singer Chou Tzu-yu, who was made to apologize after waving a Republic of China flag on a South Korean show.
