The Dagangshan area is an important town for the manufacturing industry with a large employed population. However, the owners and employees of small businesses involved in the manufacturing industry, including screws, are currently in dire straits and miserable. Huang Yunhan, candidate for the third district of Gao Municipal Councilor of the Kuomintang, called on the government to face up to the current difficult situation of the manufacturing industry, and proposed three arrows: reasonable electricity charges, opening up quotas for migrant workers, and substantial guidance to transform the industry.

Huang Yunhan pointed out that the government mostly focuses on high-tech and smart technology industries and boasts about how many major technology companies have settled in Kaohsiung. However, for the traditional industries with the largest employment population in Kaohsiung, it sits back and lets them fend for themselves. Many traditional small business owners and employees are struggling to support their company operations and livelihoods and are miserable.

She proposed three policies to help the industry, including 1. Implementing classified electricity prices: clearly distinguishing between AI industry, traditional industry and people's livelihood electricity consumption, and formulating reasonable electricity price standards for the industry with low gross profit margins to relieve the operating pressure of enterprises; 2. Opening quota restrictions for migrant workers in the industry: For jobs where local workers lack the willingness to engage in the industry, moderately liberalize the quota restrictions for migrant workers in the industry to solve the long-term labor shortage crisis faced by the industry.

3. Inject substantial transformation resources into traditional industries: To prevent "smart transformation" from becoming a castle in the air and a blank check, the government should directly inject substantial resources into traditional industries to accelerate the substantial transformation and upgrading of the industry.

From the mid-term defeat to Huang Renxun's storm, scholar Du Shengcong: Trump "encircled Wei to save Zhao" and Taiwan cannot stay out of the matter

Du Shengcong, a communication scholar at Mingchuan University, believes that after the Republican Party was defeated in the U.S. midterm elections, Trump used the tactics of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" to investigate the Democratic Party and support Huida CEO Huang Renxun in an attempt to defend his technology and China policy network. The case of Jen-Hsun Huang ties corruption to national security issues. The investigation of the FBI and Huida’s board of directors, whether Huang Jen-Hsun will accompany Shenzhen APEC, chip export negotiations, the Ministry of Justice’s filing of a case against the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party’s national security stance are all worth observing. For Taiwan, the US-China chip policy and the schedule of US$14 billion in arms sales may be affected, and the final outcome depends on the separation of powers in the United States.
