Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an attended the 'Taipei City 115th Annual Honor Guard and Marching Band Observation Performance and Flag Presentation Ceremony.' During a media interview, he was asked about the Taipei mayoral election, specifically regarding rumors that potential Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) mayoral candidate Shen Bo-yang seems to be building a municipal database to compete with him.
Chiang Wan-an said that, for him, planning the city's future vision is not just about looking at data, but rather about long-term care and practical action for the city and this land.
Chiang then gave examples of his promises to the citizens, including completing and opening the Taipei Dome in his first year, which is now bringing economic benefits. He also mentioned the simultaneous development of six MRT lines, with construction and operations progressively completing, and the Circular Line fully entering the construction phase.
He stated that continuous efforts to attract investment have also gone smoothly. After some twists and turns, Nvidia's first overseas headquarters is confirmed to be located in Taipei, making the city the strongest heart for global AI industry development. Of course, he also included free school lunches, fresh milk for students, easing the burden on parents raising children, and promoting reduced working hours without pay cuts. Various municipal policies are being realized.
The DPP's Taipei mayoral candidate has not yet been finalized, but there are rumors that Legislator Shen Bo-yang might join the race. Shen recently visited party councilors at the city council with Legislator Wu Pei-yi, saying he hopes to upgrade the city systematically, and his most important task at this stage is to continue focusing on studying Taipei municipal affairs.
