Due to the recent diagnosis of a local case of new coronary pneumonia on the island, the Chinese Kuomintang issued a press release on the afternoon of December 23 to announce that it would cancel the "anti-League pigs and food safety" parade originally scheduled to be held today and tomorrow. The press release pointed out that giving priority to epidemic prevention is the Kuomintang’s insistence. Therefore, the "Guardian Food Security Night" event originally scheduled to be held on the evening of the 23rd will cancel offline gatherings, and only retain public opinion representatives to sit and watch for food security. Other performances and publicity activities were changed to live online. The activities of "bypassing the'Legislative Yuan'" held on the Jinan section on December 24 were also cancelled, and the focus was put on the offensive and defensive in the forum with concrete measures to implement the determination of epidemic prevention.
Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Qichen said that although the method of assembly has been adjusted, the Kuomintang’s determination to oppose the import of fine pigs containing lean meat will not change. "When the ruling majority party is ready to use majority violence to crush public opinion, the resolutions of the'Legislative Yuan' cannot represent the opinions of the majority of Taiwanese people." Jiang Qichen urged the people of Taiwan to use various methods to inform representatives of the Democratic Progressive Party in the electoral district. Expressing the aspirations against the import of lean pork and exquisite pigs, and asking the DPP members not to "only have the will of the party and forget the public opinion" in their hearts, and insist on becoming a "Laizhu committee."
It is reported that the confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia yesterday was a local case that reappeared in Taiwan after a lapse of 235 days. On the occasion of Christmas and New Year, all counties and cities on the island are ready to take various measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic. As of press time, New Taipei City has stopped all outdoor gatherings in Christmas City, New Taipei City, and the "Fulong Welcome Dawn" event held for 14 consecutive years has also been suspended for the first time. Huang Shanshan, the deputy mayor of Taipei City, announced that every year, the Taipei City New Year's Eve, which is highly anticipated by the public, will cancel food stalls and require participants to wear masks throughout the process. If there are more than 15 confirmed local cases, it will also be considered for suspension.
