Lai Qingde said that Pingtung is moving from a major agricultural and fishery county to a new science and technology city. It must not only develop new industries but also take good care of the roots of agriculture and fishery. Zhou Chunmi actively strives for investment in Pingtung, allowing TSMC and Nanya to enter the Pingtung Science Park. ASE also has the opportunity to join, which shows that companies see the development potential of Pingtung.

He emphasized that Taiwan should develop in a balanced way, and Southern Taiwan should develop vigorously. The central government will continue to focus on major construction and support the transformation and upgrading of Pingtung. Regarding Pingtung's promotion of "drinking fresh milk every week", it not only delivers fresh milk to schools, but also attaches great importance to cold chain distribution and takes care of children's health in details, which far exceeds the political achievements of Taipei City. He called "Ele is really necessary" and believed that Pingtung's experience in caring for people is worth learning from other counties and cities.
