The Kuomintang held its Central Standing Meeting yesterday. Some members of the Standing Committee said that publicizing in local areas that voting for the KMT is 30,000 yuan and voting for the Democratic Progressive Party is 10,000 yuan. "No matter how stupid you are, you will get 30,000 yuan." They believe it will be very helpful to the election. In this regard, Executive Yuan spokesperson Lee Huizhi reiterated the three principles at the press conference after the meeting today (5th), that is, not to increase substantial debt, not to exclude other policies, and the procedures must be legal and constitutional.
Li Huizhi said that the government's responsibility is to try its best to take care of all the people in need within the scope of the national finance. The government has always adhered to three principles: not to increase substantial borrowing, not to crowd out other policies, and the procedures must be legal and constitutional. AI dividends of 10,000 yuan will be distributed to all people. It is under this standard that it has been included in the central government's general budget for next year.
Li Huizhi said that the general budget has been sent to the Legislative Yuan. If it is read for the third time as scheduled in January next year, the public will be able to receive an AI bonus of 10,000 yuan before the Lunar New Year. "If we want to borrow money and let all the people get an extra 20,000 or 30,000, and borrow money to find cash, not only does it violate the three principles, but of course all the people have to pay back the borrowed money."
Li Huizhi emphasized that Finance Minister Zhuang Cuiyun has stated that after the fiscal planning law is revised, 95.5% of business tax revenue will be allocated to local governments. So far, the central government has only received 28 billion yuan. This figure is far from what the opposition parties said.
Li Huizhi called on the Legislative Yuan and the Executive Yuan to aim at the same goal and work together to promote legal and constitutional AI dividends that are shared by all the people with virtually zero debt, and to review next year’s central government budget as soon as possible so that everyone can receive the legal and constitutional 10,000 yuan before the Chinese New Year.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan announced in a Facebook post that the Arena would be completed and opened within a year after he took office, and that it would host the 2027 Big 12 Baseball Tournament and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Baseball Qualifying Tournament. The post was immediately criticized by netizens, and supporters fired back. The two groups in the comment area choked each other, with more than 2,000 messages in three hours.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party criticized Chiang Wanan for listing the handling of the 2024 Baolin Tea House collective food poisoning case as a political achievement, but did not explain the reason for not attending the temporary food safety meeting at that time, and the victims have not been compensated so far; he also questioned the free nutritious lunch policy and insufficient supporting facilities, which led to frequent food safety issues.

President Lai Qingde and Democratic Progressive Party New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Qiaohui went to Tamsui Qingshui Rock to take incense. They praised Su for attaching great importance to public opinion and having the ability to be the mayor. They also emphasized that the "Tanhai Science City" urban plan was a presidential policy in the past and will need to be promoted and implemented by Su as mayor in the future. Lai expects Shen Boyang to rule Taipei and Su Qiaohui to rule New Taipei City, and called for 1128 votes. If elected, he will wait for at least four more years.

Former China Central Television columnist Cheng Wanjun sought humanitarian asylum when he arrived in Taiwan from Thailand. After review, the Mainland Affairs Council determined that there was insufficient evidence and deported him to Bangkok, Thailand, in accordance with the law on the evening of the 3rd. After returning to Thailand, Cheng Wanjun made a video accusing him of being beaten, tied up, and hooded by the Immigration Department, and criticized Taiwan as "worse than the Chinese Communist Party." The Immigration Department clarified that because he tried his best to resist boarding the plane and committed self-harm, it took appropriate measures in accordance with the law to maintain flight safety.

The IPO released the first "Asian Congressional Openness Indicators", and Taiwan ranked second overall, second only to South Korea; but its "system accountability" score was only 33, far behind Japan and South Korea, and only better than Malaysia. Zhang Honglin, CEO of the Public Governors League, criticized the 11th Legislative Yuan as "very bad" and called on Legislative Yuan Hanguo-yu to promote congressional reform during the remaining term of his term and strive to be the first in transparency in Asia.

The latest poll from Mirror News shows that New Taipei mayor candidate Su Qiaohui of the Democratic Progressive Party leads the Kuomintang candidate Li Sichuan by 14.9 percentage points. Weng Zhenzhou analyzed that the Kuomintang was busy consolidating Chiang Wanan's re-election as mayor of Taipei and had no time to take care of New Taipei. As a result, Li Sichuan's popularity plummeted and New Taipei's power to govern might not be guaranteed.
