Attending the IPAC annual meeting to focus on supply chain independence, Zhang Yalin supports Huang Shijie in promoting Longke Phase 3

Legislator Zhang Yalin had just returned from the annual meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China Policy (IPAC). She immediately went to Taoyuan this morning (9th) to accompany DPP Taoyuan mayoral candidate Huang Shijie and Taoyuan City Councilors Wang Peiyu and Liu Renzhao. Zhang Yalin said that this international exchange focuses on global manufacturing and supply chain independence, and Taoyuan has a complete industrial foundation and should actively seize the development opportunities brought by international cooperation.

Zhang Yalin said that during the meeting, parliamentarians from Europe and other countries paid great attention to reducing economic dependence on China, the supply of key raw materials, and manufacturing independence. This reflects that manufacturing is already related to national security, and countries are thinking about how to build a more resilient industrial system. Taoyuan is an important technology and manufacturing center in Taiwan. When countries are actively looking for reliable supply chain partners, Taoyuan has the ability to provide technology and manufacturing capabilities, thereby creating local employment opportunities.

She said that the manufacturing capabilities of key technologies are also information that China is actively trying to penetrate. This local election is a stress test. The Taoyuan City Government should work with the central government to prevent foreign influence interference. Relevant agencies should investigate suspicious funds, information manipulation and infiltration clues in accordance with the law. The security management of major construction and official information must also be strictly controlled. Only by protecting Taiwan's democracy can we protect the development of the industry.

Zhang Yalin emphasized that Longke Phase 3 is an important construction for Taoyuan's future industrial development. The promotion process should take into account the rights and interests of residents, and simultaneously improve public services such as water supply, power supply, education, and housing. The New West-Meilong Expressway should also continue to advance, and comprehensively review the external transportation, commuting needs, and public transportation of Pingzhen and South Taoyuan to avoid rapid industrial development while transportation and life construction cannot keep up.

Zhang Yalin said that the results of international industrial cooperation should ultimately be implemented in people's lives. "The world needs Taiwan's technology and manufacturing strength. We must also let these international opportunities be transformed into more job opportunities and more convenient transportation in Taoyuan, and a city where young people are willing to stay and develop and families can live with peace of mind."
