Li Sichuan said that during his 42 years of public service, he strictly implemented the avoidance of interests. On the other hand, the company of Su Qiaochun, the sister of DPP legislator Su Qiaohui, received about 45 million yuan in government investment funds during the tenure of her father Su Zhenchang, executive director.

During the Xindian Ankeng mass rally, Li Sichuan said that Mayor Hou Youyi has laid a good foundation for New Taipei over the past eight years.

We sincerely ask for your full support from the villagers and be sure to go out and vote. "This vote will determine the future of New Taipei City and the living environment of the next generation."
Hou Youyi recommended Li Sichuan to his fellow villagers. He said that many construction projects in New Taipei were completed one after another. This is the case for the Ankeng Light Rail. The city's progress over the past 16 years is obvious to all. In the future, including the joint development project of Shijiazhang Station and the Ankeng Sports Park, Li Sichuan will continue to promote it. Hou Youyi emphasized that handing over the baton is about handing over responsibility. Only by handing the baton to the right person can we do the right thing. Li Sichuan is sincere and experienced. "I am most at ease when I hand over the baton to Li Sichuan in New Taipei!" He also called for votes in the Daxindian area to be opened, and each person can get 10 votes, so that Li Sichuan can continue to work hard for everyone for the next four or eight years.
