The 5th New Taipei City Mayoral Election held a public television political statement today (12th). During the question-and-answer session, the media asked representatives who were first concerned about New Taipei City's lowest per capita budget among the six cities. Faced with the loss of public servants, how to solve financial and human resources problems? If political opinions are inconsistent with central policies, how to resolve them? New Taipei Mayor candidate Li Sichuan of the Kuomintang and Su Qiaohui of the Democratic Progressive Party both emphasized the reduction of official work pressure. Su also stepped up efforts to propose welfare packages such as dormitories for civil servants. In terms of financial resources, Li Sichuan emphasized that he would promote construction through diversified methods such as BOT. If there are difficulties, he may also ask legislators to help amend the law and increase the budget. Su Qiaohui emphasized the "622" allocation proportion, 60% of investment, 20% of official work pressure relief, and 20% for social welfare.

On the issue of civil servants, Li Sichuan advocated that there is a shortage of civil servants everywhere. In addition to increasing personnel, there are also many laws that need to be loosened. Otherwise, civil servants are restricted to follow the system, which consumes a lot of manpower. The most important thing is to loosen restrictions and simplify procedures. He has been a civil servant for 40 years and knows where the sticking points are.

Li Sichuan said that the mayor must also be able to find money. New Taipei City currently has hundreds of billions of debts. In fact, it does not entirely rely on the city government budget to promote construction. It can be promoted through methods such as BOT and setting up land rights. For example, the triple second administrative center (Anxin Center), the city government did not spend a dime to complete the construction of the big and small domes. The BOT method can also be used to allow the winning bidder to build and operate it as soon as possible; he will also try his best to obtain funds. In Taipei, he and Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan not only promote the construction, but also reduce the debt by an average of 10 billion every year. He has financial management experience, so he will do it if there is a need for coordination. If there are obstacles, he will ask the legislators to amend the law to increase the budget.

Su Qiaohui said that retention is the top priority. She advocates reducing the pressure on public affairs. She will use new technologies to review the parts of the stacked houses, delete unnecessary processes and unnecessary information, and streamline the public affairs to simplify administration and facilitate the people. She promises to complete the administrative reduction process guidelines within 100 days of taking office. Secondly, she plans to use a certain number of public office buildings to build dormitories, give priority to the construction of marriage and childcare homes for civil servants, and will also discuss other welfare measures.

In terms of finance, Su Qiaohui emphasized the "622" ratio, that is, 60% investment, 20% official business pressure relief, and 20% social welfare. She must use the existing budget to increase output value and New Taipei's usable assets. If she needs to borrow money, she will strictly abide by laws and regulations. When negotiating with the central government, she will definitely use New Taipei as the main body and strive to strive for various benefits for New Taipei.

Independent candidate Su Huihuang said that he has always been a poor man and his concept is to use whatever money he has. He cannot borrow money to spend money, otherwise the interest will compound and it will be terrible. In addition, although there are many citizens in New Taipei City, the population density is very low. "Our population is really not enough," and there are restrictions on everything that can be developed.

The Japanese government plans to include “collective resilience” in its security strategy to further worsen the regional environment.

The Japanese government plans to write the concept of "collective resilience" into the "National Security Strategy", strengthen supply chain cooperation with allies and emerging developing countries in the fields of energy, food and other fields, and work with other countries to increase the research and development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum. It will also use AI to strengthen information collection and preparations for "cognitive warfare". Experts pointed out that this reflects the transformation of Japan's security strategy from a single military defense to a hybrid war and total war system. The trend of pan-security is obvious, which may incite populist sentiment, suppress domestic rational voices, and further worsen the security environment in the Asia-Pacific region.
