Font size

The Taichung mayoral election saw a fierce battle between DPP candidate He Xinchun and KMT candidate Jiang Qichen. When He Xinchun attended the inauguration meeting of the Dali campaign headquarters of DPP city council candidate Li Tiansheng in Dali and Wufeng District today, she strongly refuted the KMT's suspicion that she might not continue to implement the elderly health insurance subsidy after being elected. She promised that after being elected, she would continue to promote the elderly health insurance subsidy, and that the benefits for the elderly would only increase rather than decrease. Please help explain and refute the rumors.

KMT Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen held a campaign in Shalu on the 6th and the KMT Central City Council caucus held a press conference today, questioning that He Xinchun may not continue to implement the elderly health insurance subsidy after being elected.

When He Xinchun attended the inauguration meeting of Li Tiansheng's campaign headquarters in Dali today, he said that Li Tiansheng told her that the elderly health insurance subsidy would continue after being elected. This is absolutely no problem. Emphasizing that the central government amends the law is another matter. The Taichung City Government is already subsidizing the elderly health insurance, and the general budget also has this budget. If she is elected mayor and continues to promote the elderly health insurance subsidies after taking office on December 25, He Xinchun's elderly benefits will only increase rather than decrease. Please help explain and refute the rumors.

He Xinchun said that now she is tied with Jiang Qichen, and she is even catching up with the past. Rumors and smears have all come out. She asked the folks to be her doppelgänger and not to believe the rumors outside, but to believe in her. He stressed that she can say what she says and can do. She has always been in line with people's opinions and down-to-earth, "I will do what you say."

He Xinchun also said that he was like a "wishing fountain" and criticized Mayor Lu for eight years as mayor. As a result, the Wufeng Joint Administrative Center and Taiping Joint Administrative Center next door have been completed and opened, but the Dali Joint Administrative Center is still a weed. Previously, he brought DPP parliamentary candidates Li Tiansheng, Zhang Fenyu, and Lin Deyu to the scheduled press conference at the Dali Joint Administrative Center. Not long after, the city government announced that it would start construction, emphasizing that as long as he becomes mayor, the Dali Joint Administrative Center will be completed during his term.

Open Questions

  • What is the specific construction timetable for the Dali Joint Administrative Center?
  • Will the budget source of the elderly health insurance subsidy be affected by the central government's legislative amendments?
