Ling Tao campaign headquarters established, Zhu Lilun and Zhang Shanzheng supported the platform, Taoyuan Vision CF press conference emphasized "good flow"

Taoyuan City Councilor Ling Tao held the campaign headquarters and Taoyuan City Vision CF press conference on the 27th. Former Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun and former Executive Dean Zhang Shanzheng jointly stood on the platform. Many local leaders from North and North Kitao attended to support. Zhu Lilun affirmed that Ling Tao possesses the three essentials of supervising the people, being a mouthpiece for the people, and serving the people, and praised Zhang Shanzheng as an international scientific and technological talent, emphasizing that Taoyuan's move towards becoming a science and technology city and an AI leader requires Zhang Shanzheng to cooperate with the new generation of councilor Ling Tao. Zhang Shanzheng expressed his deep connection with Ling Tao, saying that he upheld clear thinking and methodical policies in the council to supervise the municipal government, including extending the appointment period of acting teachers to 12 months, supporting "fresh milk for all students", compiling a 2 billion yuan budget to save the art museum and planning the Taoyuan Science Education Center. Ling Tao reviewed four years of political achievements and pointed out that Zhu Lilun had foreseen the global AI trend early and chose Zhang Shanzheng to lead Taoyuan, which made policy correction return and accelerate progress. For example, the MRT Green Line was completed three years ahead of schedule, the amount of medical care was increased, and Taoyuan became the core of the global AI supply chain. In the face of political chaos, Ling Tao stressed that he should respond with "kindness" and "good communication", and mentioned that 114 major policies and 223 leading proposals have been proposed in the past four years. The relocation of the service office to Section 2 of Chenggong Road means "success is imminent", and he hopes that New Taoyuan will take off.

Celebrities Huang Chi-hsien and Lee Ching-hao oppose the staged "civet cat for prince" in Taipei, warning that it may trigger social confrontation and hatred

After the "Shamei Art Festival" organized by the private sector has recently come to an end, there are reports on the Internet that someone is planning to stage a "civet cat for prince" drama in Taipei City. Famous celebrities Huang Zhixian and Li Zhenghao both issued articles opposing it, believing that this move is inappropriate and may turn into a political incident, trigger social confrontation and hatred, and even harm traditional opera. Huang Zhixian emphasized that the Mei Arts Festival embodies the common sentiment of injustice against women and the love for opera, and has nothing to do with politics. If "Civet Cat for Prince" is staged in Taipei, it may directly turn into personal attacks and humiliations. Li Zhenghao bluntly stated that "it is absolutely impossible" and received a message of support from Taipei City Council candidate Ma Yuwen.
