You Shuzhen, the candidate for Hualien County Magistrate of the Kuomintang, announced that if elected, 20,000 yuan in cash will be distributed next year, with an estimated expenditure of 6.4 billion yuan, and a number of social welfare expenditures will be increased. This move was in contrast to her criticism in May that her opponent Zhang Junpu's NT$10,000 payment was a "blank check" and was criticized by the outside world as a slap in the face. She emphasized that after financial actuarial calculation, she could not explain the proportion of the funds in Hualien County's total budget of 40.1 billion yuan.

Non-party legislator Ko Kim So-mei was charged by the High Prosecutor's Office with a 14-year sentence for crimes related to the National Security Law and the Corruption Crime Ordinance. She issued a statement denying that she was developing organizations for the CCP and receiving mainland capital. She accused the indictment of being untrue and believed that she was responsible for the unfavorable investigation of Zhang Junjie, the director of the transfer office.

The Legislative Yuan passed the 22nd Amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law, requiring the central government to fully subsidize health insurance premiums for the elderly below the 20% tax rate. Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang was revealed to have directed medical groups overseas to express their opposition, which triggered criticism from the public group, requiring him to study first before swearing at others, and emphasized that the elderly should not receive different medical subsidies based on where they live.

The Taipei mayoral election is tense. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang said that people who have served in the Taipei City Government in the past are candidates for petitioning, and he does not rule out sharing the stage with Ko Wenzhe. The Kuomintang lifted the ban on Jiang Wanzhe from standing on the platform of the People's Party parliamentary candidate. Jiang Wanan frequently "passed by" Baiying's campaign headquarters, and said that the combination of Ke Wenzhe and Jiang Wanzhe was "very good."

The High Prosecutor's Office investigated the case of non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei and his former office director Zhang Junjie, who were involved in the National Security Law and organized the development of China. Prosecutors pointed out that Zhang Junjie accepted resources and huge sums of money from overseas hostile forces, arranged for personnel to go to China to receive united front training, infiltrated indigenous tribes, attempted to be used as a "fifth column", abandoned bail and absconded, and requested 15 years in prison.

The race for mayor of Taipei is heating up. Mayor Chiang Wanan's wife, Shi Fang Gendai, is sweeping the streets. The outside world is paying attention to whether Shen Boyang asked his wife Zeng Xinhui to take part in the campaign. Shen Boyang emphasized that he wanted to run away by himself, but he also respected his wife's wishes and protected his family's privacy. He pointed out that the biggest symbol of Black Bear Social Enterprise Company is himself, not his wife, and revealed that a Chinese person once commissioned a Taiwan Credit Information Agency to follow his wife and children for a month.
