He urged Jiang Qichen that instead of only having an empty "Taichung Flagship City", it is better to debate and clarify the municipal vision; He Xinchun Headquarters Spokesperson and city councilor Lin Deyu also pointed out that Lu Xiuyan only used to be an idol and promote herself as a star every day, and the municipal administration was not handled well. People's livelihood problems such as garbage and food waste were not solved during her term. He asked Jiang Qichen if he dared to accept the invitation to debate, or continue Lu Xiuyan's route of not caring about municipal administration.

The budget gap of 100 billion has not been solved. Child abuse was frequent in Taichung, and the major construction Shuinan Transfer Center was not operating.
