Li Qianlong recently attended the party celebration event of the Kuomintang Yunlin County Party Headquarters and pointed out that the "ocean current" is now slowly ebbing. It is different from the "Korean Wave" in which Han Kuo-yu ran for mayor of Kaohsiung in 2018. The "ocean current" has some threats, but it fermented too early. If it were delayed for another 2 or 3 weeks, the KMT would be in more crisis, but now the crisis has passed.

Li Sichuan accepted a joint interview with the media before attending the event today. He responded that in New Taipei City, he thought that no matter what flow came to him, he would be open to all rivers. "We will definitely have an endless flow."

Li Sichuan and New Taipei City Council candidate Cheng Chenghong held the founding meeting of the Wu Tailin Joint Campaign Headquarters yesterday. Former Taipei County senior councilor Lin Yiyi also publicly supported it. Some outsiders interpreted it as a success. Li Sichuan responded that he followed New Taipei City in Taipei County and governed without distinction of color or party. Thank you Lin Yiyi for standing up to support him. If he becomes the mayor of New Taipei City in the future, he will not change this attitude and will serve the citizens regardless of party color.

Li Sichuan said that he and Huang Guochang often have a hotline. In addition to standing for the People's Party City Councilor Chen Shixuan yesterday, he also often supports other New Taipei City Council candidates of the People's Party. He thanked Huang Guochang for helping the New Taipei City Councilor Chen Mingyi of the Kuomintang today. It can be seen that Blue and White will not change anything before and after the election, and there will be no problems. "We have common goals, good policies, and good talents. We will definitely cooperate with Blue and White."

In Shuangbei, is the combination of blue and white in New Taipei smoother? Huang Guochang responded that he was very happy to participate in the opening of Chen Mingyi's general election. Today's competition between the blue and white teams was very creative. Although Chen Mingyi and Chen Shixuan are from different parties, they each spoke for the people of the constituency in the New Taipei City Council. They are a very good example of cross-party cooperation. In New Taipei, as Mr. Chuan said, the two parties have very close ties and cooperation. He believes and expects that in the future in Taipei City, the People's Party and the Kuomintang, whether they are mayors or councilors, will work together for the greatest welfare of Taipei citizens.
