With 82 days to go before the election, Hsinchu County’s political turmoil is rising again! Faced with Hsinchu County Mayor Yang Wenke and Deputy County Mayor Chen Jianxian talking about "brothers of one heart and eight years of friendship" on Facebook, the Qiu Chenyuan camp of the People's Party's candidate for mayor of Zhubei responded today, pointing out that "it is impossible for the people of Hsinchu County to hand over the future of this city to a person who burns bridges and betrays his trust."

Huang Xinyu, spokesperson for Qiu Chenyuan’s campaign team, pointed out that integrity is the basic quality of politicians. In the past, when the team asked Deputy County Magistrate Chen Jianxian to help the county government several times, Deputy County Magistrate Chen also described Qiu Chenyuan as "too kind." Huang Xinyu emphasized that although kindness is an advantage, it must not be used to "take advantage of others and dig deeper."

Facing the complicated political situation, Qiu Chenyuan's team showed a firm attitude and declared that the future tactics will be "kindness with edge", maintaining the original intention and going all out to win the recognition of the majority of Zhubei citizens.

Hsinchu County Magistrate Yang Wenke posted a lament on Facebook yesterday, mentioning that Chen Jianxian was duty-bound to support Chen Jianxian eight years ago. The two "shared joys and sorrows" for eight years. He also emphasized that Chen Jianxian has always been a true blue soldier and has never left the party or stood for another party. He tried to use "brotherhood" to heal the suspicion of division within the party.

However, Chen Jianxian issued an article this morning emphasizing that although the eight-year friendship is cherished, "politics is to serve the people, not an experimental field of religion." He also showed that true unity is based on integrity and respect, and his attitude is quite thought-provoking.

She warned that this strategy would lead to a backlash among voters, and that President Lai Ching-te should maintain a high presidential level and wait for the internal collapse of the blue camp.

Keelung City Speaker Tong Ziwei swept the streets to pray for votes. Xu Shuhua and Gao Jiayu supported him and shouted, "Let's change it and see."

Keelung City Speaker and Democratic Progressive Party mayoral candidate Tong Ziwei invited Taipei City Councilor Xu Shuhua and former legislator Gao Jiayu to Qidu Nanxing Market to sweep the streets and pray for votes. They were both born in Keelung. The scene was called the "Keelung People's Team". Xu Shuhua pointed out that Tong Ziwei had repeatedly proposed policies such as pensions for the elderly and consolation payments during the Three-Day Festival, but Mayor Xie Guoliang only followed up and suggested directly replacing the people in power. Gao Jiayu emphasized that Keelung has development potential and needs a young and capable mayor to lead the way forward.

The New Taipei City MRT subsidy was reduced by 5.416 billion yuan from the central government. KMT members questioned Su Qiaohui's cutting of the ribbon and harvesting to grab the first place.

New Taipei City proposed a central subsidy of 21.796 billion yuan for MRT construction next year, but the central government reduced the amount by 5.416 billion yuan, of which the Danhai Light Rail was completely deleted, the Sanying Line was reduced by 579 million yuan, and the New Taipei section of the Keelung MRT was reduced by nearly 4.7 billion yuan. Three city councilors from the Kuomintang group of the New Taipei City Council questioned DPP Su Qiaohui's "rushing to be first in ribbon-cutting and harvesting, while subsidies were cut quietly" and called on her to speak out for the citizens. President Su Qiaohuijing responded that the central government treats local rapid transit construction equally, and the Kuomintang distorts the issue. The Ministry of Transport will allocate 49.9 billion yuan in subsidy funds next year, the highest in history.

Discuss China·Tell the story of “Chinese-style consultation”｜Nanjing, Jiangsu: Create the “best mile” of business-friendly policies

On September 3, the Lixiang China Network themed interview team visited Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and gained an in-depth understanding of the democratic supervision work carried out by the Nanjing CPPCC around the ‘last mile’ of the implementation of enterprise-friendly policies. During the discussion, Nanjing CPPCC members Wang Yu, Li Jingjing, and Cai Xiaogang pointed out that there is a "temperature difference" between policy implementation and enterprise demand. They suggested that measures such as regular enterprise surveys, precise policy push, and optimization of grassroots implementation details should be used to promote enterprise-friendly policies to truly benefit enterprises and effectively solve the misalignment problem between policy supply and enterprise demand.
