Today, the Central Taiwan Regional Governance Platform was established in Taichung City, and the heads of 8 cooperating counties and cities gathered in Taichung to attract attention.

Chiayi Mayor Huang Minhui pointed out that what Taiwan lacks most is unity, trust and cooperation. In the past four years, Lu Xiuyan has been like a "bucket hoop", gathering 7 counties and cities to cooperate sincerely and let everyone grow together; Changhua County Mayor Wang Huimei also affirmed Lu Xiuyan Like a "bucket hoop"; Nantou County Mayor Xu Shuhua pointed out that the platform has expanded to 8 counties and cities, and the population in the area has reached 7.03 million, accounting for 1/3 of Taiwan's population. The Executive Yuan heard the voice of Central Taiwan."

Yang Wenke even said bluntly that in the past, the central government "emphasized the north, neglected the south, and forgot Taichung." All joined", and hoped that she would "be better connected to the north, south, and east", and also emphasized, "You are indeed a good candidate", and the meaningful speech attracted many people in the audience He will nod frequently.

However, when Lu Xiuyan was asked about Yang Wenke's "overtones" after the meeting, she explained that the current platform will first maintain cooperation with the eight counties and cities in Central Taiwan, and in the future it will not rule out cooperation between regions or across the country. Neither ruled out that "it is necessary for local governments to unite and cooperate with each other."

She also hastened to emphasize that because the preparations for the 8-county-city cooperation platform are very hard, it is even more valuable and not easy for the heads of 8 counties and cities to attend at the same time. I hope that the outside world will focus on the voices of the 8 counties and mayors and the happiness of the 7 million people in the region. In the future, the 8 counties and cities will also rely on this platform to unite and cooperate.

Today's Central Taiwan Regional Governance Platform also includes Yunlin County Mayor Zhang Lishan, Miaoli County Mayor Zhong Dongjin, Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan and others.

Yang Wenke's speech hides the overtones.
