Taichung Mayor Lu Syu-yan, during an inspection of the city-wide environmental cleanup today, commented on the concluded 'Trump-Xi' summit. Regarding Taiwan-related issues, she stated that regardless of what was discussed between the US and China, or whether there were secret agreements, people should have confidence in their own nation.
The Taichung City Government has launched the 'Taichung NO Rat' infestation prevention plan. Today, over 20,000 environmental volunteers across the city were mobilized to conduct a deep environmental cleanup, strengthening cleaning and disinfection efforts in cluttered areas and surrounding communities to reduce the risk of rat infestations from the source.
Lu Syu-yan visited the Nantun Village Activity Center and Nantun Elementary School this morning to express her gratitude for the efforts of frontline volunteers. She emphasized that the city government is adopting two core strategies: 'synchronized strikes' and 'cutting off rodent food sources' to create a healthy, safe, and livable city. She also called on citizens to implement the 'three no' principles of rodent prevention: 'no feeding, no harboring, and no attracting rats.'
Addressing the concluded 'Trump-Xi' summit, Lu Syu-yan stated during media interviews that the summit has ended, and regarding Taiwan issues, regardless of what the US and China discussed or if there were any secret deals, 'we must have confidence in our own nation.'
Regarding today's environmental cleanup campaign, Lu pointed out that rats are intelligent and move quickly. If the cleaning time is inconsistent across villages, rats can easily scatter and hide from cleanup efforts.
Lu stated that the Civil Affairs Bureau mobilized volunteers across districts through the district and village systems to engage in environmental cleaning work together. The cleanup action was launched simultaneously by 625 villages in Taichung, involving over 20,000 environmental volunteers today. It is hoped that through comprehensive mobilization, rats will have nowhere to go.
