印太戰略智庫執行長矢板明夫今(14日)出席苗栗縣長候選人陳品安的海線大團結造勢大會。他致詞時盛讚台灣在經濟與政治上備受全球關注,已成冉冉升起的新星,但話鋒一轉,直指苗栗因長期國民黨執政而停滯不前,呼籲鄉親藉由全新的政治改革契機,支持陳品安翻轉苗栗。
矢板明夫表示,雖天候不佳但現場聚集大批熱情支持者,讓他看見苗栗的希望。他指出,近期國際高度關注台灣的半導體產業動態,加上美中領導人即將會晤牽動台灣議題,凸顯台灣已成全球政經關注中心;而台灣今年經濟成長率也展現強勁動能。
不過,矢板明夫感慨,苗栗的建設與3、40年前相去不遠,主因在於長期由國民黨執政,政治遭各個利益團體綁架而難以改革。他強調,台灣近年出現改變政治與選舉文化的全新契機,這股希望已外溢到苗栗,呼籲鄉親團結一致,藉此開創有希望的新苗栗。

He highly praised Liu Jianguo's performance in politics and bluntly said that Yunlin "should win" and asked "Can the people of Yunlin accept Zhang III?"
