Shen Boyang, candidate for mayor of Taipei from the Democratic Progressive Party, proposed political ideas such as Beishike Smart Think Tank, semi-underground and indoor substations, hoping to combine bus terminals and digital libraries to resolve power grid gaps and local concerns. Jiang Wanan said that the city government has completed coordination with Taipower to determine the short, medium and long-term plans for the substation. It will use temporary and permanent substations, as well as other substation support, to meet the power demand of the North Science Park and the power required for Huida to move in. He also said, "I am very grateful to Commissioner Shen for his support and affirmation of our current planned policies."
Regarding former Executive Yuan political affairs councilor Zhang Jingsen's statement of support for the relocation of Songshan Airport, but emphasized that this does not mean support for Jiang Wanan's political views, and also questioned that the issue should not be used as an election operation, Jiang Wanan said that he agreed with Zhang Jingsen's proposition and that both parties had the same views.
