The countdown to the nine-in-one general election is coming. Today (4th) is the last day to register for the election. Former DPP legislator Duan Yikang, North City Neihu and Nangang councilor Li Jianchang led Neihu Nangang City Councilor candidate Chen Youxin and Zhongzheng Wanhua City Councilor candidate Ma Yuwen to the Taipei City Election Committee to register. The team and supporters shouted slogans such as "Ma Yuwen! Changes are coming soon!", "Hong Kong and Lake are determined! Chen Youxin!" and other slogans, and went upstairs to register and receive watches, showing the momentum of the team.
Candidate lawyer Chen Youxin said that today is the last day of registration, and he has made special preparations. He hopes that both he and Ma Yuwen can successfully serve as Taipei City Councilors and assume the responsibility of serving the people. At the same time, they will work hard to supervise the city government. In the case of child sexual injury, they can see the city government's laxity in dealing with child victimization, not to mention the sky-high price of umbrellas, flooding and other issues. These problems need to be actively faced by the Taipei City Government and require strong supervision. I believe that both he and Ma Yuwen can become the strongest supervisory force of the Taipei City Government.

Councilor Li Jianchang also strongly recommended the two candidates. He pointed out that he and Commissioner Duan Yikang were good partners who worked together in the Taipei City Council more than 30 years ago. He hopes that our past experience can be passed on to Neihu Nangang Chen Youxin and Zhongzheng Wanhua Arima Yuwen. They will become powerful cannons in the Taipei City Council and demonstrate strong experience in municipal supervision and promotion. Li Jianchang also said that in particular, Taipei City used to be stigmatized by the Tianlong Kingdom. He hoped that by using Shen Boyang's "Ocean Current" to bring up a new generation, Taipei's stigma could be eliminated.

Liu Jianguo, candidate for Yunlin County Mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, completed registration on the last day of registration for the 2026 nine-in-one election. It is rumored that President Lai Qingde will personally serve as the chairman of his campaign headquarters.

The election campaign is regarded as a key battlefield that the Democratic Progressive Party Central Committee attaches great importance to.

U.S. President Trump announced that he would require European countries to repay the military aid and ammunition provided by the U.S. military during the Russia-Ukraine war, and hinted that he may suspend arms sales to allies. He also denied reports that the U.S. military's ammunition inventory is running low, saying that the United States is expanding production and hoarding ammunition. These remarks are related to the ammunition consumption of the US military in the Iran conflict, the rise in international oil prices and the dispute over Congressional control.

Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Yueqin questioned the Miaoli County Government's "open contract" project procurement, which involved two groups of manufacturers taking turns bidding and with a very small difference in the final bid price. The Miaoli County Government issued a statement to refute, emphasizing that the procurement was open and transparent in accordance with the law, saying that her questioning revealed ignorance of procurement regulations and used legal administrative procedures as a smear tool.

Yu Moriyama, president of Japan's cross-party Japan-China Friendship Parliamentarians Alliance, said that members of the alliance, mainly young parliamentarians, plan to visit Beijing this month. The Chinese side has not yet finalized the target of the talks and is still coordinating. This visit is aimed at invigorating exchanges and looking for opportunities to improve relations. It was postponed due to the incident of a security officer breaking into the Chinese Embassy. Last month, another cross-party group of parliamentarians visited Beijing and met with Vice Minister Lu Kang. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that he is willing to communicate with Japanese people who abide by the four political documents between China and Japan and are friendly to China.

Former Hsinchu City Mayor Lin Zhijian posted a photo on Threads of a group photo with his former city government colleagues at Xingfu Plaza, asking everyone if everything was okay. Netizens left messages recalling the city's changes and sense of glory brought about by his eight years in power. At the same time, the outside world speculated whether he intends to return to politics. Current city councilor Yang Lingyi pointed out that the Hsinchu District Prosecutor’s Office sanctioned no prosecution of the Hsinchu Baseball Stadium against the former city government team and restored the truth. However, it believed that "Hsinchu Glory" had been destroyed by the municipal government after Gao Hongan took office. Young civil servants were physically and mentally traumatized. Only by opening "Debug" and "Happiness New Process" can the disaster be prevented. Lin Zhijian responded that he was only concerned about the current situation of his colleagues, but the post has aroused widespread resonance and discussion.
