The election campaign has entered its final sprint. Taichung mayoral candidate and Vice-President of the Legislative Yuan Jiang Qichen attended the inauguration meeting of City Councilor Zhu Yuanhong’s campaign headquarters this morning (7th). He worked side by side with local election generals to urge votes, showing his unity. He emphasized that he will inherit Mayor Lu Xiuyan’s construction and happiness policies, promote the upgrade of the elderly care card, skin snake vaccine subsidies and increase in micro-insurance for indigenous people, to be the strongest backing for citizens.

Jiang Qichen personally presented the flag to Zhu Yuanhong today, shouting "The flag is open for victory", and promised to be the strongest supporter of the aboriginal people. He said that he would fully subsidize micro-insurance for aboriginal people aged 15 to 64 registered in Taichung, so as to provide an additional layer of protection for the aboriginal people in Taichung in the event of accidents. Considering that about 90% of Taichung people live in urban areas, career exploration and professional vocational training will be strengthened, and urban-type aboriginal strongholds will be established by the private sector, providing spaces for art performances, exchanges and cultural inheritance, and supporting youth development.

When it comes to caring for the elderly, Jiang Qichen promised to continue the elderly health insurance subsidy. The elderly care card will maintain 1,000 points per month, and the points will not return to zero within the year. The maximum discount for each taxi trip is 200 points, and the discount for registration fees will be expanded. In addition, up to 500 points can be used every month to purchase health care products at local farmers and fishermen associations and special pharmacies. At the same time, the elderly and severely vulnerable people will be promoted to receive fixed subsidies for the herpes zoster vaccine to reduce the burden of health and care.

Jiang Qichen made a final appeal. The more critical the election campaign is, the more necessary it is for fellow villagers to unite and support each other. Everyone can help get ten votes. On November 28, support Jiang Qichen and Zhu Yuanhong, both No. 3 mayors, and council members to hit a home run, so that Taichung's happiness will continue and its construction will be upgraded.

Can the Xunke P model really change the situation in Taipei? Writer Zhao Xiaohui reveals the key to Shen Boyang’s election victory

On the 5th, Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang paid a visit to former KMT speaker Chen Jianzhi. Writer Zhao Xiaohui analyzed that this was a repeat of Ko Wenzhe’s 2014 approach to win support from middle-class voters in the blue camp. He believed that Shen Boyang’s “ocean current phenomenon” was similar to the mobilization of Ko’s fans. If the cross-party professional sense of security can be maintained, a tsunami of change in Taipei’s mayoralty may be replicated in 22 days.
