Zhu Lilun's Keelung assistant election affirmed Xie Guoliang's policies and emphasized that pragmatism is better than temporary fads

Zhu Lilun, former chairman of the Kuomintang, went to Keelung on the 26th to start the first auxiliary election of this year. He accompanied Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang to Qidu Nanxing Market to vote. Zhu Lilun affirmed the achievements of Xie Guoliang's governance, saying that he was visionary, caring and empathetic, and emphasized that the most important thing is to truly do a good job in municipal administration. Temporary winds and temporary fluctuations can only have short-term effects. He said that during the election process, opponents created conflicts, but Xie Guoliang resolved them with tolerance and love, making him the best choice for Keelung citizens. Regarding whether the ocean current in Taipei City will spread to Keelung, Zhu Lilun believes that coined terms are not important, and pragmatic voting is the key. I feel sad that the Hsinchu Blue and White partnership broke up, but I said that Keelung is a model of the Blue and White partnership. Xie Guoliang can resolve the problem by being more tolerant and loving and less conflicting. Xie Guoliang thanked Zhu Lilun for leaving the first auxiliary election to Keelung, calling him an important senior and learning object, and recalled that Zhu Lilun came to Keelung many times to cheer and give encouragement and affirmation during the recall period in 2024.

The issue of arms sales behind the scenes of the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping attracted attention, and experts from US think tanks analyzed China’s intention to gain the right to speak.

The U.S. Congress has passed a $14 billion arms sales package to Taiwan, but the White House has not yet approved it. Ken Moriyasu, a senior researcher at the Hudson Institute in Washington, pointed out that China is trying to influence U.S. decision-making by threatening to cancel the Trump-Xi meeting. But in fact, the Trump administration agreed to US$11 billion in arms sales to Taiwan last year. If cooperation on Iran and Ukraine cannot be reached before the end of December, Trump may conduct arms sales. This move does not constitute a message of abandoning Taiwan.
