The Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen held a large-scale rally in Taiping District tonight (13th) titled "Industrial Upgrading! District Opening New Bureau". Villagers rushed into the venue to support him. Chiang Chi-chen took "123, Central Taiwan" as the main axis and proposed a political blueprint of "one big living area, two best cares, and three big developments". He said emotionally: "The 5 million people who have invested in Zhongchang are like a family."

Jiang Qichen said that the Tun District used to be called the "Black Hand Cave". "Without the Black Hand, there would be no TSMC!" In the future, Taichung will be led to become the capital of AI robot manufacturing, and it will connect smart agriculture and exhibition economy 168 with Changhua and Nantou. "Add agriculture to technology and manufacturing to create another sacred mountain that protects the country in Central Taiwan."

Regarding the care of young people and elders, Jiang Qichen said that more than 10,000 social housing units have been built in Taichung. When the central government called for the suspension of subsidies, "There is no other way. We will carry it down. I will continue to build social housing until 18,000 households are built!" He promised, "Mayor Lu Xiuyan's good policies, Jiang Qichen will take over, will not only continue, but also increase, expand, and do better."

Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yan detailed the construction achievements for the districts and districts over the past eight years. She changed the topic and focused on the "elderly health insurance subsidy". She said that the subsidy was restored after taking office eight years ago, and more than 30 billion yuan was invested in caring for 400,000 to 500,000 elders in eight years. However, when the opposition party recently promoted national legislation in the Legislative Yuan, it was blocked by the Democratic Progressive Party and the Executive Yuan. Although the opponent's camp supports subsidies in their political opinions, the Executive Yuan has expressed its unanimous stance. She called on voters not to let the past situation of canceling subsidies happen again. She led the audience in shouting: "Do what you say! 123, save Medicare! Guan Jianbao, vote for Qichen!"

Open Questions

  • What are the sources of funds for social housing construction?
  • What is the Executive Yuan’s specific position on health insurance subsidies?
