support for the government’s infrastructure and long-term care plans.
Lai’s trip Saturday is the latest in a series he has made around Taiwan in an effort to get public opinion behind several key planks of the Tsai administration’s domestic policy.
During an event at a local temple, Lai said that the government infrastructure plan aims to resolve problems with Taiwan’s basic infrastructure while also boosting the economy. Lai said the government’s long-term care plan for the elderly, meanwhile, seeks to keep citizens over 65 healthy so that they can continue contributing to society.
Lai also told his audience that he was happy to visit Yilan because of the county’s long line of figures important for their contributions to Taiwan’s democracy. [FULL STORY]
