The meeting passed five laws, including the Procuratorial Public Interest Litigation Law, the Antarctic Activities and Environmental Protection Law, and the Anti-Cross-Border Corruption Law, and approved an agreement on the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization. Zhao Leji emphasized the need to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party.

The Legislative Yuan approved on the third reading that the subsidy for old farmers will be increased to 15,000 yuan per month. Democratic Progressive Party legislator Liu Jianguo criticized the Blue and White camp for the hasty and repeated revision of the law. He was worried that the move would crowd out the budget of the Ministry of Agriculture and cause a sense of relative deprivation among social welfare groups. He called for a return to rational review and fiscal discipline.

The Blue and White Caucus of the Legislative Yuan forced the third reading to increase the allowance for veteran farmers to NT$15,000, retroactively to July this year. Yang Rumen, the convener of 248 Agricultural Science Market, said that although he agrees that the government should repay the debt of exploiting farmers in the past, if other agricultural development resources are squeezed out, it may lead to the consequences of killing the goose that lays the eggs.

The Legislative Yuan passed the revised law on exemption of health insurance premiums for seniors over 65 years old on the third reading, but the Executive Yuan decided not to countersign it.

He advocated that the central and local governments should jointly discuss it to ensure the feasibility of the care policy.
