Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan advocated the relocation of Songshan Airport, but lawyer Huang Diying pointed out that there were three major fallacies in his statement: First, he opposed the relocation during the 2022 election campaign but agreed that the relocation would be beneficial to urban development in the 2023 Taipei City Government official document, which is inconsistent; second, the official document did not explain the national security concerns that questioned Wu Yinong; third, the official document was only one page and did not show a feasibility assessment, which was suspected to be hastily raised due to an election emergency.
AI-generated summary
When Chiang Wanan ran for mayor of Taipei in 2022, he opposed the relocation of Songshan Airport and criticized Wu Yinong for hastily proposing relocation before the election, believing that there were national security concerns. In 2023, the Taipei City Government responded to the central government with an official document, stating that the relocation of Songji would be conducive to Taipei City’s urban planning and development.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently proposed the relocation of Songshan Airport. The outside world questioned the lack of any relevant proposals or suggestions in the past four years. Chiang Wanan also said that the Taipei City Government had replied to the central government in 2023, saying that the relocation of Songshan Airport would be beneficial to Taipei City's overall urban planning and development. Lawyer Huang Diying criticized Jiang Wanan's statement for having three major fallacies, which were basically inconsistent and a slap in the face.
Huang Diying pointed out in a Facebook post that when Chiang Wanan attended the Executive Yuan meeting, he presented the 112-year-old official document of the Taipei City Government on the cessation of pine needles in an attempt to prove that Jiang Wanan’s proposal to relocate the pine needles was not hastily proposed due to election emergency. However, the document of less than one page of the pine needles relocation by the North City Government not only failed to prove that Jiang Wanan was a responsible political opinion on the pine needles, but also severely criticized Jiang Wanan’s three inconsistent fallacies.

Huang Diying questioned Jiang Wanan's statement on three fallacies. First, the official document released by the Beijing Municipal Government highlights Jiang Wanan’s vacillating and inconsistent stance less than a year after taking office. When Chiang Wanan ran for mayor of Taipei in 2022, he opposed the relocation of Songshan Airport. At that time, he also strongly criticized Wu Yinong, who advocated the relocation, for "hastily proposing it just after the election" and believed that the relevant propositions had "national security concerns." However, the official document produced by Chiang Wanan on the relocation of Songji in Taipei City in 2023 agreed that the relocation of Songji would be beneficial to Taipei's urban development, highlighting Chiang's vacillating stance and apparent inconsistency in less than a year since he took office.
Second, Jiang Wanan produced an official document of less than one page, which did not explain Jiang’s national security concerns when he questioned Wu Yinong. Jiang Wanan presented a four-point overall plan for the Beishi Fu Songji, which was less than one page long. However, the whole article did not explain Jiang Wanan’s “national security concerns” when he questioned the relocation of Wu Yi’s agricultural pine machine. The official document from the Beishi Fu that Jiang Wanan took was a slap in the face.
Thirdly, the official document given by Jiang Wanna to loosen the machine is less than one page, which highlights that Jiang has not conducted a feasibility assessment by the city government on the relocation of the loose machine, and is not responsibly proposing a policy. Huang Diying questioned that Jiang Wanan hastily proposed to relocate the machine without explaining the national security concerns that Jiang himself had questioned, nor did he conduct a feasibility assessment by the city government. It was clear that he sought medical treatment because of an urgent election situation!

Likely · Within weeks

U.S. President Trump overturned Defense Secretary Hegseth's decision to cancel the live broadcast of the execution of former Army Major Hassan, who shot 13 people at the Fort Hood military base in Texas in 2009. Previously, the live broadcast plan was opposed by Republicans, religious leaders and the public. Trump said that although he believed that the live broadcast might have a deterrent effect, he respected the feelings of kind-hearted people and that Hassan would be executed as planned, but it would not be broadcast live.

After Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan proposed the Songshan Airport relocation project, he went to the Executive Yuan to explain. Executive Yuan President Zhuo Rongtai expressed that he was looking forward to learning about Chiang Wanan's major change in attitude from four years ago, and requested the Taipei City Government to provide relevant meeting minutes or discussion materials in the past four years. Transportation Minister Chen Shikai and the Civil Aviation Administration of China pointed out that the third terminal and runway are expected to be completed in 2030 and opened in 2033. Songji is a backup airport for peach aircraft, and the relocation estimate will conservatively take more than 20 years.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan (Kuomintang) and Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Shen Boyang agreed to hold the first TV debate at the TVBS studio from 12 noon to 2 noon on October 31. The debate will be co-sponsored by TVBS and SET News. The format will include opening statements, cross-examination, media questions and closing statements. The day of the debate is also the day of the Taipei Gay Parade, and candidates from both parties have stated that they will participate in the parade.

Chen Yixin, chairman of the Kuomintang Cultural Communication Committee, criticized the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council for submitting blank overseas study expense reports for 13 consecutive months, accused Acting Chairman Li Yanhui of perfunctory Congress, and demanded that it publicly apologize and release complete accounts and itinerary within a time limit.

US President Trump announced the cancellation of the live broadcast of the execution of former Army doctor Nadar Malik Hassan. Hassan was sentenced to death for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. The Pentagon had previously planned to broadcast the execution live, which triggered strong criticism from global human rights organizations. Trump ultimately decided to cancel the live broadcast, but the victims' families could still witness it in person.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan responded to questions raised about the relocation of Songshan Airport and medical evacuation to outlying islands, emphasizing that difficulties will be overcome through helicopters, highway green channels and regional medical capacity integration, and reiterated the promotion of nutritious lunch policies to reduce the burden on families.
