With 20 days to go before the general election polling day, DPP central mayor candidate He Xinchun today joined the DPP Central City Xitun District City Council candidate Lin Qi-feng for the general election. She said that her opponents have repeatedly smeared her. Recently, the Kuomintang spread rumors that she would stop the elderly health insurance subsidy after being elected. One of her six-star welfare plans is the elderly health insurance subsidy, and Taichung City's elderly health insurance subsidy for next year has been approved and can be implemented next year.

The campaign headquarters of Lin Qifeng and He Xinchun were established today. In addition to Cai Qichang, the general convenor of the Legislative Yuan caucus, Lin Jingyi, deputy minister of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and Zhang Liaowanjian, the deputy minister of education, were all present to support them.

Cai Qichang, Lin Jingyi and Zhang Liaowanjian all criticized the Kuomintang for spreading rumors about the Kuomintang's accusation that He Xinchun would stop the elderly health insurance subsidies after being elected. He Xinchun emphasized that her six-star social welfare policy included continued subsidies for the elderly health insurance, but the Kuomintang spread rumors that she would not subsidize it after being elected. She asked the public to rest assured that after He Xinchun was elected, the elderly health insurance subsidies would not stop, and Taichung City's budget for the elderly health insurance subsidy has been passed, so it will definitely be subsidized.

He Xinchun said that there is a lot of traffic in Greater Taichung that requires overall planning. To prevent traffic jams on Expressway 74 and Taiwan Avenue, just like Taichung Municipal Government, she already has a solution.

He Xinchun also expressed that he was very worried for Taichung City. Has the MRT Blue Line been built in the past eight years? There is only the MRT Green Line, and even 1 centimeter of the Blue Line has not been covered. Taichung City cannot become an international city without an MRT system. She also pointed out that Taichung City has quite a lot of bus problems and will solve them one by one. The garbage problem also needs to be solved. For example, the garbage mountain in Dali and the disposal of food waste, she has solutions to relieve the pain points of citizens' lives one by one.
