Lin Youchang went to Hsinchu to assist Zhuang Jingcheng and share his governance experience

Zhuang Jingcheng, candidate for mayor of Hsinchu of the Democratic Progressive Party, invited Lin Youchang, former minister of the interior and former mayor of Keelung, to accompany the car sweep in the afternoon. Lin Youchang, who just returned to Taiwan after a six-month visit to the United States the day before yesterday, said that he is very willing to share his past governance experience as mayor of Keelung and Minister of the Interior to help Zhuang Jingcheng think about the future development direction of Hsinchu. He also affirms that Zhuang Jingcheng's urban development concept is in line with international trends and takes into account technological development and the education needs of the next generation.

Zhuang Jingcheng said that during his term as mayor of Keelung, former Minister Lin Youchang promoted major construction such as the regeneration of the city port and the National Gate Plaza, allowing everyone to see how an old city has changed. During his tenure as Minister of the Interior, he was more active in formulating urban renewal, housing policies and land planning, not only the performance of local governance, but also the height and experience of central governance.

Zhuang Jingcheng said that Keelung's experience is worth learning from Hsinchu, especially when Keelung faced many urban development problems, but Lin Youchang built the construction step by step and allowed citizens to see changes. "I believe Hsinchu can do the same, especially what we need most now is to restart the stagnant construction so that citizens' daily lives can truly become better!"

In April this year, Lin Youchang, who was invited to the United States as a visiting scholar at the Indo-Pacific Security Institute, a think tank in Washington, returned to Taiwan from the United States just two days ago. In the past six months, in addition to focusing on cross-strait relations, defense diplomacy, and geopolitics, he has also been particularly concerned about the future development trend of AI. He pointed out that Hsinchu City is the youngest city in Taiwan with a continuously growing population and full of vitality. How to respond to technological development and create a living environment that better meets the needs of citizens is an important issue in future urban governance.

Lin Youchang pointed out that in the past, people may have thought that tech people or tech cities were always cold, but what he saw abroad was just the opposite. What scientific and technological talents look forward to is not just industrial development, but also a city full of humanity, warmth and future imagination. He believes that the urban development concept proposed by Zhuang Jingcheng not only meets the actual needs of Hsinchu citizens, but also sees the development trend of international cities, and pays special attention to the education of the next generation. Therefore, he went to Hsinchu to cheer for Zhuang Jingcheng and called on Hsinchu citizens to vote enthusiastically for No. 3 Zhuang Jingcheng.
