Jiang Wanan pointed out that he once said that when Huida first contacted the Taipei City Industrial Bureau, they had actually discovered that Taipei City’s hinterland was not enough, so they had considered at that time, including the Songnan Camp Area that Huida had considered, which is just south of Songshan Airport. They immediately decided to take back the land in the Songnan Camp Area. After it was taken back, it would also include the planning of the Zhonghe-Guangfu Line of the MRT. In the future They hope that when the Songshan Airport is relocated, it will be directly connected to the north, so they are thinking about it as a whole. Since Huida successfully signed the contract at the beginning of the year and decided to settle in Beishike, they believe that the third terminal of Taoji Airport and the third runway will be completed and opened soon. At this time, they hope to start the overall planning and will have a good discussion with the central government to work together.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan proposed the idea of relocating Songshan Airport into an AI industrial park, residences and parks. Du Yijin, founder of the Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, posted six questions on Facebook, questioning that without a complete plan for energy, transportation, talent residence, aviation functions, historical preservation and green space protection, the AI park will be just a new sign for land development.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wa-An unexpectedly announced the relocation of Songshan Airport and planned to develop the surrounding land into an AI park, residences and parks. The move was criticized for not considering the national defense function, not obtaining central permission, and lacking coordination with the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Interior. Former Air Force Colonel Ma Yixiang pointed out that Songshan Airport is a shared airport between the military and civilians and has important combat readiness and search and rescue missions. The relocation should be evaluated by the Ministry of National Defense.

A TVBS poll showed that KMT Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's approval rating was 49%, leading DPP candidate Shen Boyang at 41%, with the gap narrowing to 8 percentage points. Jiang Wanan said that the election campaign has become intense and it is inevitable for supporters to return to the team. He is worried that the social opposition and voter irrationality during the legislative recall last year will continue into this year's mayoral re-election campaign.

Ma Hengheng, spokesman for the campaign office of DPP New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Qiaohui. Yi will respond to the Songshan Airport relocation issue raised by Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan of the Kuomintang, questioning his failure to discuss it with residents of the two provinces and his political conflict with fellow party candidate Li Sichuan. At the same time, regarding the nuclear power issue, he clarified that Su Qiaohui is only willing to discuss nuclear energy issues when the three conditions of nuclear energy safety, nuclear waste resolvability and social consensus are met, and emphasized that priority should be given to strengthening the power grid and developing industrial parks such as Danhai Science City.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan proposed a plan to relocate Songshan Airport and use the surrounding 300 hectares of land to build the Taipei AI Park. He also pointed out that Yinghuida CEO Huang Jen-Hsun once said that Beishike T17 and 18 land is insufficient and more space will be needed in the future. He also called on the central government to restart nuclear power to ensure the stable power supply needed by the park.

Writer Zhao Xiaohui pointed out that most of the KMT’s traditional supporters in Taipei have been reflected in existing polls. What is really worth observing are young voters and middle voters who are difficult to reach in city-based surveys. Shen Boyang needs to improve his voting intention and recognition to narrow the gap.
