Controversy over the Shezi Island issue in Taipei City has been raging, with Mayor Chiang Wanan exchanging fire with Democratic Progressive Party North Mayor candidate Shen Boyang. Li Huaping, spokesperson for the Shezi Island Self-Rescue Association, even harshly criticized the Taipei City Government's basic rhetoric of "rehousing first, then demolishing". Mayor Chiang Wanan can do what he says, but can't, and keeps holding meetings without the participation of residents. In an interview today (22nd), Jiang Wanan said that the Beijing Municipal Government has continuously listened to and communicated with the voices of local people and neighborhood leaders, and has tailored demolition compensation and resettlement measures for residents to achieve the principle of "household resettlement and care for the vulnerable."

Shen Boyang said that the waterfront and sports facilities on Shezi Island in Beishi City were in disrepair and lacked lighting, and proposed to connect the Shezi area and Beishike into an industrial cluster. Jiang Wanan counterattacked, saying that the city government has a regular patrol and immediate repair mechanism, and even criticized Shen Boyang for "not fully understanding" the development progress of Shezi Island.

Jiang Wanan was interviewed today before attending the press conference of "Nine Years of Good Friends, Love on the Double Ninth Festival - Double Ninth Festival". The development of Shezi Island is based on the vision of "ecological Shezi Island". The city government has a very rigorous attitude and also held the country's first Shezi Island resettlement plan hearing.

Jiang Wanan said that they have continuously listened and communicated with the voices of local people, residents, and even neighborhood leaders, and tailored demolition compensation and resettlement measures for all residents. Therefore, they have achieved the principle of "household resettlement and taking care of the vulnerable." As for the details, "including our continuous communication, we have also extended the lease period of the project housing to 24 years." For disadvantaged households over 65 years old, they can live there until they grow old. The city government will continue to communicate with the local government and will go all out to allow the development of Shezi Island to move forward.
