The KMT's Hsinchu County Mayor candidate Xu Xinying's campaign headquarters was established this morning. In addition to sending rice dumplings to wish her a high vote of victory, Ji Linlian, the party's vice-chairman, also used the four words "practice diligently" and "smart thinking" mentioned in the Doctrine of the Mean and the Analects of Confucius to encourage Xu Xinying not to act blindly and dreamy, but to practice "practice diligently and think smartly" to win the election.

At the founding ceremony of Xu Xinying's general election, Vice Chairman Ji Lin, together with legislators Lin Siming, Lin Qianqi, and Zheng Zhengqian, as well as three former and current county magistrates, Fan Zhenzong, Qiu Jingchun, and Yang Wenke, were present to support the event. Yang Wenke, as the chairman of the county party committee, personally presented the battle flag and declared that he would hand over the county magistrate's baton and important responsibilities to Xu Xinying. This afternoon, Xu Xinying will have a "Sunshine Warm" lawn concert in the AI ​​Smart Park to build momentum. KMT Chairman Cheng Li-wen and Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng will also be present to help her with the election.

Ji Linlian said that practicing diligently comes from the Doctrine of the Mean, while thinking wisely comes from the Analects of Confucius. Only action is blind action, only thinking is fantasy. Therefore, if Xu Xinying is bound to win, she must be diligent and thoughtful. In order to congratulate Xu Xinying on being elected with high votes, he not only presented rice dumplings as a gift, but also thoughtfully brought this extra mascot.

Yang Wenke said that Xu Xinying has clear logic, big-picture thinking, and has good knowledge and experience. She also does practical things and does not make illusions. She does not only make beautiful things, but also does real things. Hsinchu County is a city that is prospering and progressing very quickly. He took over the important responsibilities from the former county magistrates Qiu Jingchun and Fan Zhenzong, and the Kuomintang passed it on one stick after another. As a result, the development of Hsinchu County today can be said to be beyond the dreams of the past. In the past eight years, he has implemented policies with science and technology as the backbone of the city and culture as its soul. What needs to be passed on to the next generation is culture and education, so that our next generation can feel the hopes and dreams of Hsinchu County in the future. Now he has to hand over this stick to Xu Xinying, and I sincerely ask the villagers and elders to support her.

She criticized a KMT Central Committee member for copying the terminology of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council into the party discipline proposal. She called for the expulsion of Zhao Shaokang for this matter.

Media person Zhan Lingyu questioned KMT Central Committee member Jiang Yongxiong's initiative to expel former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang for his visit to the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang. She pointed out that the language of the co-signing letter was directly copied from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, implying that the Kuomintang restricted the speech of party members on the grounds that they were wanted in China. Zhao Shaokang's admission that "ocean currents are real" became the reason for expulsion. Zhan Lingyu said that the essence was to suppress the recognition of facts.

Criticize Blue and White for urgently promoting elderly health insurance subsidies and universal distribution of 20,000 yuan. Wu Jingyi: Use future debts to buy immediate votes

The Legislative Yuan passed the amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law on the third reading on the 16th and forwarded the KMT’s proposal of universal cash distribution of 20,000 yuan before the league election to the second reading for negotiation. Media personality Wu Jingyi posted a post on Facebook criticizing the move as exchanging future debt for immediate votes in the election. It may cause a financial burden of hundreds of billions to be borne by young adults, undermine generational justice, and question the lack of constitutional financial resources and fiscal discipline law assessment, and shift health care costs to salaried classes and young families.

Shen Boyang believes that the new policy will relax the entrance and narrow the exit. Jiang Wanan counterattacks: Can't we have a two-pronged approach?

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan launched the DuGeng update policy, lowering the integration willingness of the DuGeng threshold from 75% to 50%, and increasing the DuGeng reward to speed up the progress. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang criticized the move as having a wide entrance but a narrow exit. Jiang Wanan responded that there was no conflict between the two and that it could be a two-pronged approach, citing the example of Xinwei House Renovation to demonstrate that both are more effective.

A row of pro-blue figures were labeled "green" on the Internet. Xiao Jingyan complained: It's not us who have changed, it's the party.

The Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang accepted an exclusive interview with former China Broadcasting Chairman Zhao Shaokang for the second time, sparking dissatisfaction within the KMT. Central Committee member Jiang Yongxiong initiated a petition calling for Zhao Shaokang's expulsion from the party. Netizens listed many media figures who once favored blue as being labeled "green". Former KMT spokesperson Xiao Jingyan left a message criticizing some people in the party for acting like idiots, and emphasized that the influence of the election comes from the candidate himself, not Zhao Shaokang.
