Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently announced plans to relocate Songshan Airport.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently proposed a plan to relocate Songshan Airport. Shen Boyang attended the Legislative Yuan this afternoon (14th) to question the functional needs of Songshan Airport, and asked whether the Taipei City Government had communicated with the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Defense about Songshan Airport in advance. In response, Huang Zhiwei, executive officer of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, responded that he has not received any demand from local governments in this regard. Let netizens say bluntly, "The Ministry of National Defense certified that Jiang Wanan issued a blank check."

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan has proposed relocating Songshan Airport to create an "AI park". DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang also discussed related issues in an exclusive interview with Zhao Shaokang this morning. Shen Boyang believes that this matter involves three major needs: national defense, air service, and medical evacuation, which need to be resolved. In response, Shen Boyang attended the Legislative Yuan for questioning in the afternoon and asked, "What is the current communication status after this matter was raised?"

Huang Zhiwei, executive officer of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, responded, "Currently we have not received any needs or requests from local governments in this area. However, we have already begun to make relevant plans based on the requirements of the Legislative Yuan."

Shen Boyang then asked, "What is the opinion of the Ministry of National Defense on the relocation of Songji?" Huang Zhiwei responded, "Songji, as a dual-use military and civilian airport, is of great importance in national operations and defense. In operations, there are needs for emergency transportation, command nodes, and emergency supplies. Therefore, military needs require the next step of supporting solutions before the next step of planning can be carried out."

In response to the content of the question, netizens said, "The Ministry of National Defense certified that Chiang Wanan wrote a bad check," "After four years of doing this, before the election, he threw out a Songshan Airport relocation plan that he had never discussed with the central government. Do you think the people are idiots?", "Chiang Wanan's abandonment of politics, Shen Boyang will help you study it," and "Kong An is just trying to spread the pie."

Open Questions

  • ?Will the Beijing Municipal Government formally propose the Songji relocation plan to the central government?
  • ?If Songji is relocated, how will the dual-use needs of the military and civilians be matched?

Pro-communist Hong Kong media accused the family of Shen Boyang, a Democratic Progressive Party candidate for Taipei mayor, of making money in China. Scholar Ye Yaoyuan analyzed that this is a cognitive operation by China's Ministry of National Security to intervene in Taiwan's elections through Hong Kong forces, aiming to deepen Taiwan's social opposition and polarization and have a negative impact on the democratic process.
