Today is the 2nd anniversary of the inauguration of President Lai Ching-te. The day before, Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan called for Lai Ching-te to promise not to declare independence and delete the Taiwan Independence Party platform. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan said today (20th) that Lai Ching-te should take a good look back at what the ups and downs of the past two years have left for Taiwan. "I hope President Lai and the Lai government will put people's livelihood first." Li Sichuan, a candidate for mayor of New Taipei City, said that no one will be allowed to disrupt peace.
Jiang Wanan and Li Sichuan went to Taipei City's Zhongshan business district to inspect designated negative-pressure smoking rooms in smoke-free cities. When asked about the eve of the second anniversary of the Lai administration, an online poll found that the most dissatisfied with Lai Ching-te was cross-strait relations. Lu Xiuyan also called for Lai Ching-te to promise not to declare independence and delete the Taiwan Independence Party platform.
Jiang Wanan said that 520 is a mid-term exam for President Lai and the Lai government. President Lai should carefully review what the ups and downs of the past two years have left for Taiwan. Is the public's expectation "less politics and more governance; less cognitive warfare and more people's livelihood economics", or "I hope that President Lai and the government will put people's livelihood first."
Li Sichuan said that cross-strait peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait are the aspirations of Taiwan, the United States and all citizens, and no one should be allowed to destroy peace.
