KMT Tainan mayoral candidate Hsieh Long-chieh went to Erkong New Town in Rende District to hold a political briefing on the afternoon of the 2nd, holding on to the support of the military village. Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng and legislator Luo Zhiqiang went south to support him. Zhang Shanzheng shouted, "Tainan's affairs are my business," calling on voters to support Hsieh Long-chieh. As for the Kuomintang city council candidate Weng Yuhan, who is still detained and banned from visiting China because of his involvement in entertaining voters to travel to China, Xie Longjie called on "If there is evidence, handle it quickly, and if there is no evidence, do not use detention methods."

In an interview with the media, Xie Longjie said that detaining a candidate one month before the vote without conclusive evidence is very harmful to democratic elections. We respect justice and do not indulge in it. But if there is evidence, do it quickly. If there is no evidence, do not use detention. There is no need to attack the election situation to let the DPP hit a home run. The Kuomintang will fully support its partners who are still struggling.

Xie Longjie said that Taiwan’s birth rate is one of the lowest in the world, and it is also very serious in Tainan, so he asked Zhang Shanzheng for Taoyuan’s “affordable housing” experience. After evaluation and argumentation by a professor at National Cheng Kung University, he proposed a marriage and childbirth housing policy in which “the government will provide a house for you to give birth to your child.”

Zhang Shanzheng said that he would go to Tainan every winter and summer vacation when he was a student. From the 0206 earthquake in 2016 when the Yongkang Weiguan Building collapsed until he resigned as executive president, he had visited Tainan more than 10 times. "Tainan's affairs are my business." After the typhoon last year, I saw that the photovoltaic panels along the coast of Jianan were blown to pieces, and the originally beautiful coast became a mess. It was heartbreaking. I saw that Xie Longjie advocated the political views of demolishing the photovoltaic panels of the Wushantou Reservoir. I hope that Xie Longjie's wish will come true. I call on the folks in Tainan to take care of their home environment and let Xie Longjie be elected mayor.

Indiscriminately practicing air pollution laws! Taipower and Taiwan Cement Co., Ltd. have been hit, and Blue and White are forcing "universal power cuts" in 2028.

The Legislative Yuan is negotiating on amending the air pollution law, and the opposition party proposes to limit the service life of coal-fired units in the power industry. The Ministry of Economic Affairs warned that this move will affect more than 9.72 million kilowatts of power generation capacity. If all medium-fire coal-fired units are shut down next year, the reserve capacity may turn negative from 2028 to 2029, facing the risk of power shortages and power rationing.
