The blue camp rebounded, and the Ministry of Interior declined! Jiang Wanan moved the loosening machine and Zhang Yumeng: Policy communication is a disaster

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan proposed the relocation of Songshan Airport yesterday (8th). Zhang Yumeng, director of the Taiwan Youth Democratic Association, posted on Facebook that Chiang suddenly announced major policies 51 days before the election without fully communicating with the central government and local people in advance. This not only triggered a backlash within the Kuomintang, but was also questioned about the lack of supporting measures. Zhang Yumeng bluntly said that Jiang Wanan's policy communication was "a disaster."

Zhang Yumeng posted on Facebook on the 8th that many Kinmen folks live in Zhonghe, Yonghe or Sanchong, New Taipei City. After arriving at Songshan Airport by flight, they can drive or take the MRT directly to their residences. Once Songshan Airport is relocated, Kinmen routes may be diverted to Taoyuan Airport, which will affect the transportation arrangements of relevant passengers.

He pointed out that after Chen Yuzhen learned about Jiang Wanan’s related ideas, she emphasized that “Taipeng, Penghu and Jinma are part of it” and requested subsidies for connection routes and funding. Zhang Yumeng criticized this: "Jiang Wanan is very blind, and Chen Yuzhen is even more blind."

In response to the response from Penghu, Zhang Yumeng said that many elderly people from Penghu often fly to Taipei for medical treatment, and people who go to Taipei to study or work also often use Songshan Airport. However, when Jiang Wanan proposed the relocation, the relevant supporting packages had not yet been announced. Chen Zhenzhong, the candidate for Penghu County Mayor of the Kuomintang, stated his position in less than 7 hours: "I advocate retaining Songshan Airport."

Zhang Yumeng emphasized that he was not opposed to the relocation of Songshan Airport, but he believed that Jiang Wanan did not have enough understanding of relevant policies. He bluntly said, "To put it bluntly, he doesn't understand anything."

Zhang Yumeng also pointed out that when Jiang Wanan was asked in the morning where the Songshan Command barracks would be relocated in the future, he responded that "Songzhi Command no longer has a fighter wing." However, when Jiang accepted an exclusive interview with Guo Zhengliang in the afternoon, Guo reminded him face to face that in addition to civil aviation and military purposes, Songshan Airport also shoulders "presidential executive planes, air rescue and capital defense tasks."

Zhang Yumeng said that Guo Zhengliang’s past legislative district covered Songshan Airport, so he had some understanding of the local situation. Jiang Wanan said at the time that "drone takeoff and landing" has now escaped the need for traditional runways, so military configuration should shift from "single concentration" to "decentralized deployment."

Zhang Yumeng questioned that Jiang Wanan's response in the interview can be described as "unbridled". Countries are indeed developing drone technology, "but has any country abolished its air force because of this?"

In addition, Zhang Yumeng criticized Jiang Wanan for not discussing it with the central government before proposing the relocation of Songshan Airport. He pointed out that the Ministry of the Interior has stated that Songshan Airport has an air service station and is responsible for search and rescue missions covering the entire land, sea and airspace of northern Taiwan.

Zhang Yumeng further explained that the Ministry of Interior has invested 3.5 billion yuan in planning to build a new shed factory for the Songshan Air Service Corps, which will be used for Black Hawk helicopters in the future. He worries that Jiang Wanan suddenly proposed relocating Songshan Airport 51 days before the election, which may make the 3.5 billion yuan fund "directly wasted."

I heard that the Ministry of Interior said: "We cannot give up this station." Jiang Wanan then changed his mind and said: "We can also retain the need for a small number of helicopter takeoffs and landings." Zhang Yumeng therefore analyzed that before Jiang Wanan announced the idea of ​​relocating Songshan Airport, he did not contact the Ministry of Interior at all.

At the end of the article, Zhang Yumeng questioned that Jiang Wanan, as the current mayor of Taipei, suddenly proposed the major policy of relocating Songshan Airport 51 days before the election, and then began to ask for help from everywhere.

He even criticized that the first person Jiang Wanan sought help from was Guo Zhengliang who raised relevant questions during the interview. "The current mayor beat gongs and drums to announce the 'relocation of Songshan Airport,' but nothing was prepared. So what were they doing in the past three years or so?"

Zhang Yumeng finally said that even the local candidates within the Kuomintang did not know about the relevant ideas in advance, which led to his own family not supporting it. He also questioned in a sarcastic tone that Jiang Wanan suddenly proposed the relocation of Songshan Airport before the election, "Did you suddenly dream about it when you were sleeping last night?"
