AI-generated summary
The relocation issue of Songshan Airport has been discussed by all walks of life for many years, involving considerations such as national defense and security, the construction of the third Taoyuan Airport terminal, local transportation and urban development.
With 51 days left before the year-end election, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan announced today (8th) plans to relocate Songshan Airport and build a Taipei AI park. Looking back on Jiang Wanan's past statements, he once emphasized that the loose machine cannot be moved at will, and concerns such as national defense and security must be considered from the perspective of civil, military, commercial, urban development and the needs of the local people. He also criticized Wu Yinong's relevant political views as "definitely not hastily proposed as soon as the election", and questioned the plan to narrow the airport land into a large park.
Jiang Wanan, who represented the Kuomintang in 2015 as a legislator for Zhongshan and Beisongshan constituencies, supports the relocation of Songji, but believes it is unlikely in the short term. In 2017, then-legislator Jiang Wanan revealed that his constituency is in Zhongshan District and North Songshan, North City, and 50% of the people support relocation or not to move. "Songshan Airport cannot be moved just as soon as it is announced." It should be considered at the national level. It must wait for the construction of Taoyuan Airport's third terminal and runway to be completed before planning whether to move or not, and return to professional considerations.
In July 2022, when faced with Huang Shanshan's listing the relocation of Songshan Airport as a long-term method to improve the traffic in Neihu, Chiang Wanan, who was running for mayor of Taipei, did not express his support or not. He only said that "even though the relocation of Songshan Airport is very difficult, it does not affect our ability to solve the traffic problem in Neihu. I have proposed three arrows to solve the traffic problem in Neihu."
The media asked Songshan Airport if it involves national security and does it disapprove of its relocation? Jiang Wanan has yet to directly answer whether he agrees or disagrees, stressing that there are many aspects to consider, including the construction of Taoyuan Airport Terminal 3. He has discussed this issue a lot in the Legislative Yuan. Another aspect is national defense and security concerns, but even if the relocation is difficult, it cannot stop their determination to improve Neihu and Neihu transportation. As long as there is a will, it can be solved.
In addition, Wu Yinong, who participated in the legislative by-election, also proposed the political idea of loosening the machine and relocating the city. Jiang Wanan criticized that this must be considered from the perspective of civil, military, commercial, urban development and the needs of the local people. It is definitely not a hasty proposal to narrow the function and utility of Songji land into a large park as soon as the election comes. It is "a pattern that does not meet the expectations of the people."
Now that he has proactively announced plans to relocate, he was asked how it differs from the time and space background advocated by Wu Yinong back then. Jiang Wanan said that the current timing and supporting conditions are different, and groundbreaking decisions must be made at critical moments; he proposed the allocation of industrial clusters, residences, and park green spaces. To seize the AI development opportunities, planning should begin now.

Through the guidance of the rule of law, high-level promotion and drawing inferences from one case to another, it has focused on key issues, key regions and key areas, effectively solved the backlog of petitions that the masses are anxious about, and continuously improved the efficiency of grassroots governance.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently raised his political views on the relocation of loose machines and the establishment of Taipei AI Park, but the Executive Yuan pointed out that there has been no discussion in the past four years. The Internet immediately went viral that he had criticized his opponent Wu Yinong for putting forward the same political views four years ago as "hastily proposed during the election," causing people from all walks of life to question his double standards.

Vice President of the Legislative Yuan Jiang Qichen echoed Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's idea of relocating the airport, and advocated that the central government should accelerate the expansion of Taichung International Airport, with the goal of annual passenger traffic of 10 million, to create a new national gate "Taichung in, Taichung out", share the demand for Taoyuan Airport and promote the development of Central Taiwan.

Jiang Tao, former deputy mayor of the Jiamusi Municipal Government in Heilongjiang Province and former director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and law. After investigation, it was found that he resisted organizational censorship, accepted gifts and money in violation of regulations, ran for an official position, sold his official position to win titles, and was suspected of accepting and offering bribes.

Well-known host Cai Kangyong appeared at the inauguration meeting of Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters, and was warned by China's official Weibo account "Jun Zhengping" that he would pay a price. The Police Department was worried about its safety and deployed, while Shen Boyang called on China not to suppress Taiwan's democracy and freedom.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan proposed the Songshan Airport relocation plan without warning. Councilor Miao Boya questioned it as contradictory to his 2022 remarks and was raided 50 days before the election. Director of Metropolitan Development Jian Serfang said that the land planning was being considered in response to Huida's move in, and the council requested that the discussion schedule and information be provided by next Tuesday.
