The Green Camp proposed that northern Taiwan should be reorganized and set up as "Beihai City," and the Taiwan media ridiculed the "de-Sinicization" that was said to be good

Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian only recently threw out the issue of the merger and upgrading of Da Hsinchu, which provoked the ridicule of "Sima Zhao's Heart", and now Keelung Mayor Lin Youchang is not willing to be lonely, throwing out two plans for Keelung's upgrading: one is to integrate keelung City and the 7 administrative districts of New Taipei City on the north coast, and upgrade to "Beihai City"; the second is Keelung City, New Taipei City Xizhi District and Taipei City to establish "Great Taipei City". Lin Youchang also specifically shouted to Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe: "If Beiji is merged, you can also choose again." ”

Lin Youchang

Taiwan's "Wind Media" commented today that the merger of Da Hsinchu and the merger of North Andekiki are both topics worth discussing, but the problem is at the point of time when it is thrown out. From Lin Zhijian to Lin Youchang, what was the motivation for throwing out the merger and upgrading in the year before leaving office? Is it a pie-drawing contest for political survival, or a battle of trapped beasts for the political rising stars of the Green Camp?

Lin Zhijian's proposal for the "Daxinzhu merger" is the most questionable point in time, but at the moment when he is about to enter the county mayoral election, he uses the so-called "more competitive, industry first, people first" and other gorgeous and empty words, but he does not hide his ambition to "tailor-made" for himself. With the strong support of Ke Jianming, the general secretary of the DEMOCRATIC Progressive Party Caucus, it is only necessary to reduce the legal population of the municipality directly under the "Local System Law" from 1.25 million to 1 million people, and Daxinzhu City can be upgraded to the "seventh capital" on the spot. However, "Interior Minister" Xu Guoyong recently said that "the eight characters have not been skimmed", and poured cold water on Lin Zhijian's dream.

Immediately after that, Lin Youchang was even more ambitious, advocating "county and city equal rights" being described as "Lin Zhijian 2.0", directly calling for the deletion of the "local system law" and "municipality directly under the central government" population threshold, even Ke Jianming's proposal to lower the threshold of 1 million people was not needed, and the DPP authorities led the regional consolidation and upgrading of Keelung City, Hsinchu City, and Chiayi City. But has Lin Youchang ever thought about it: Once the population threshold data with a measurement benchmark is deleted, won't all the counties and cities in Taiwan that have not yet been upgraded also clamor for upgrading? When everyone has become a "municipality directly under the central government", what is the significance of upgrading?

The commentary ironically said that what is strange is that the DPP has always spared no effort to "de-sinicize," and Lin Youchang actually chose "Beihai City," which is an existing city in Guangxi on the mainland.

What people are puzzled is that Lin Youchang thought that the merger of counties and cities was too simplified, advocated improving Keelung's own competitiveness, and waited until the end of the two terms of office, he advocated merging counties and cities into "Beihai City"? Lin Youchang has been in power in Keelung for 8 years, what competitiveness has he improved? Why is the Keelung Light Rail, which was originally promised, still missing?

The commentary finally pointed out that with the advent of the post-Tsai Ing-wen era, in order to elect and renew his term of office, from Lin Zhijian to Lin Youchang, he could not see that these political rising stars had made complete thoughts on the planning of administrative districts, nor did they see them consult with local councilors and other county mayors, and they threw out the issue of county and city mergers through the media, and did not hesitate to reveal the "heart of Sima Zhao" and show their desire for power that could not get rid of the magic ring, but on the contrary, they once again reminded the people that there was also a hundred Mile Hou who was restless and united and ate ugly. This is not only the DPP's pie painting contest, but also the devaluation contest of the political stars of the Green Camp.
