Recently, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan floated the idea of relocating Songshan Airport, causing doubts among many central government ministers. Jiang Wanan appeared in an exclusive interview on the program "News Face to Face" at 8 pm on the 20th. Lan Xuan, a senior media person on the scene, pointed out that the biggest crisis in Songji's relocation is that "the central government does not pay for it", and asked whether cross-party communication and public opinion persuasion can be carried out from the perspective of the mayor. He even contacted 9 county mayors who have expressed support and invited people from blue, green and white cross-party parties to jointly sign to win support from the central government. Jiang Wanan said that he thinks it is a good suggestion if people who support the relocation of Songshan Airport can be invited to make a joint appeal and have a good discussion regardless of party affiliation.
Lan Xuan pointed out that the biggest crisis in the relocation of Songshan Airport is that the central government will not pay for it. From the mayor's point of view, Jiang Wanan must be able to manage politics, communicate with political parties and persuade public opinion, but this has not been seen yet, so she asked Jiang Wanan how to promote it next.
Jiang Wanan responded that when people talk about the relocation of Songshan Airport, the most direct feeling of the people may be that it will no longer be so convenient to go abroad from Songshan Airport in the future, but more importantly, if the relocation can promote the development of the AI industry, the related economic growth and tax dividends can be invested in public construction, social welfare, as well as housing, transportation, education and other fields to comprehensively improve the quality of citizens' lives.
Jiang Wanan continued that many people have reported traffic problems to him in the past few days, especially during rush hours when commuting to and from get off work in Neihu, Dazhi and Songshan areas, which are often affected by bridge congestion. He believes that if Songshan Airport is relocated, related traffic problems may be improved.
Lan Xuan asked, with only 39 days left before the election, whether Chiang Wanan can take a more active approach, such as contacting county mayors who have expressed support for the relocation of Songshan Airport in the past, and inviting people from across the blue, green, and white parties to jointly support Taipei's future, thereby gaining support from the central government.
When Lan Xuan mentioned cross-party connections for the second time, Jiang Wanan interrupted and responded, "Okay, blue, green, and white...". Subsequently, Lan Xuan confirmed whether action would be taken. Jiang Wanan said that if people who support the relocation of Songshan Airport could be invited, regardless of political party, to jointly call for and discuss this issue together, "I think this suggestion is very good, really."
