The New Taipei City mayoral election is heating up. Kuomintang candidate Li Sichuan today (15th) established the Youth Business Friends and Youth Support Association. Vice Mayor Liu Heran came to support the event. In response to questions about his age, Li Sichuan bluntly stated that "elections are about ability, not age." He reiterated that his 40 years of public service experience will provide a foundation for young people, and proposed to build an "AI technology industry corridor" across the two norths, implement "Arena City in the south and science city in the north", accelerate the improvement of road networks, and make every effort to introduce international manufacturers to the two norths.

Li Sichuan established the Friends of Youth Business and Youth Support Association today. Liu Heran came to the scene to support him. People at the scene enthusiastically shook hands, took photos, and shouted "frozen garlic" and "the sea embraces all rivers, we all support Li Sichuan." The scene was enthusiastic. Faced with questions about his age from the outside world, Li Sichuan bluntly stated in his speech that "elections are about ability, not age." His 40 years of public service experience is purely to create the best foundation for future young people and new generations. He affirmed Mayor Hou Youyi's eight years of successful governance and promised to take good care of what Hou has done well, continue to complete what is being done, and fully implement what is planned.

Li Sichuan said that in addition to increasing the youth entrepreneurship fund from 2 million yuan to 5 million yuan, it also focused on cross-regional industrial vision and refuted DPP Shen Boyang's doubts about the technology corridor. "Shen Boyang has forgotten that Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai said that when Huida moves into Beishike, it will also create a golden corridor."

Li Sichuan plans that the high-tech corridor will connect Xike, Nanruan, and Neike all the way to Beishike, connect Wugu and Luzhou through the construction of Lushe Bridge, and connect Banqiao, Tucheng Honhai, Shulin Daganyuan Science Park through the Provincial Highway 64 and Provincial Highway 65, and directly reach Xindian Baogao, forming a complete AI industry chain.

Li Sichuan reiterated that "there is Dome City in the south and Science City in the north." He said that he spent three and a half years building the Taipei Arena, and it has never leaked since it has been used for more than 20 years. In the future, he will convert the Banqiao Second Sports Stadium into the Taipei Arena. He also promised to complete the construction of the Shulin Arena planned by Hou Youyi within eight years. He will learn from Taipei's experience and improve the design to serve as a benchmark venue for hosting international baseball events, world-class conferences and concerts. In the north, the second and third phases of the Danhai New Town are planned to be transformed into a high-tech park, and the Danhai Express Rail Link will be connected to the North Branch and the MRT Red Line to provide young people with jobs nearby.

In terms of transportation, Li Sichuan said that the second phase of the Danhai Light Rail will be approved as soon as possible. In the future, it will cross the Danjiang Bridge and connect to Bali, extend Linkou to the right to connect with Taoyuan Airport, and connect to Wugu and Luzhou on the left; promote the Wutai Light Rail and Taiban Light Rail; The MRT is planned to run along the Dahan River, connecting the Xidong Line and the Minsheng Xizhi Line across the Tamsui River, connecting to the Sanying Line along Sanchong, Xinzhuang, Tucheng, Shulin, and Yingge, and finally connecting to the Bade section of the Taoyuan Green Line, running through Beitao in the north of Jibei.

In addition, in order to alleviate congestion on the Bannan Line, Li Sichuan proposed the construction of the "Zhonghe Guangfu Line" from Zhonghe Jinggongguan and Keelung Road to the Taipei Arena and Songshan Airport; the second phase of the Wanda Line and the North-South Ring Section continue to be advanced; the MRT East Ring Section is considered to be extended to Shenkeng, Shiding and Pinglin in the future.

Li Sichuan emphasized that these transportation constructions and science parks are reserved for young people. Only with complete transportation and land supporting facilities can we attract international major companies to invest in the two provinces.
