The Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen held a large-scale rally called "Sea Line Connection! Unite Forward!" at the Yunjiu Baseball and Softball Stadium in Shalu District on the evening of the 6th. Legislative President Han Kuo-yu delivered the final speech. He once again raised the issue of the eastward extension of the National VI National Convention, which aroused doubts from the outside world. He Xinchun, mayor of Taichung of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that the eastern extension of the National Sixth National Congress involves highly difficult engineering disciplines and strict environmental impact assessments. It cannot be replaced by a slogan, otherwise the Chinese people will not rest assured.
Last night, Hanguo-yu once again called out the idea proposed many years ago to extend the National Highway 6 eastward from Nantou to Hualien through the Central Mountain Range. He and Jiang Qichen also signed it, emphasizing that if the 28 kilometers of the Central Mountain Range are opened, traffic will be smooth from east to west, and it will only take 40 minutes for Taichung City to reach Hualien and go down to Taitung, becoming a one-day living area.
City Councilor Xie Zhizhong said that Han Guoyu, as the Legislative Yuan, and Jiang Qichen, as the Vice President of the Legislative Yuan, once again raised relevant issues before the election, made big fuss, and made unrealistic and unreasonable promises. If you really wanted to promote it, you should have taken concrete actions long ago, instead of waiting until the election is approaching to hype the issue again. It is basically a "guava ticket" and, to put it bluntly, it is vote fraud.
City Councilor Yang Dianzhong said that President Tsai Ing-wen said at the time that the National Sixth National Extension East Extension had been evaluated during the Ma government era. Many technical difficulties could not be overcome and the feasibility was not high. The Central Mountain Range is Taiwan's natural barrier and the sacred mountain that protects the country. Large-scale excavation is likely to destroy Taiwan. Alpine habitat ecology, affecting water resources and geologically sensitive areas, Han Kuo-yu has been criticized by environmental groups for raising the issue in the 2019 presidential election. Now he has proposed it to help Jiang Qichen, who was born in the mountain town of Taichung. This kind of election policy that destroys mountains and forests may only hurt Jiang Qichen's election.
