He emphasized that New Taipei City's appeal is very clear that the renovation of New Taipei University will be carried out by the mayor.

As for individual incidents, Lin Jialong believes that if the municipal administration of New Taipei is discussed on a case-by-case basis, for example, when everyone is discussing Hou Youyi's academic degree incident, Hou Youyi also said that it can be publicly criticized and everyone is welcome to inspect it. "Then we will take a good look at it."

"Elections are about leaking each other's air for progress, not personal attacks." Lin Jialong said that everyone can debate on policies. He hopes that New Taipei City can take the lead, so that voters have the right to know, and hope that Hou Youyi will arrange the debate as soon as possible, and stop making excuses. Delayed until the end of October.

Lin Jialong said that Hou Youyi has now started campaigning activities in various places, and the two candidates will directly debate, providing the best choice for the citizens of New Taipei.
