354 sharing

The development project of the Taiwan knowledge economy flagship Park Project in Hsinchu County, which expropriates more than 400 hectares of fertile land (referred to as the Taichi Plan, formerly known as the Pu Jade Plan), will soon hold the 12th ad hoc group meeting of the Urban Planning Commission of the Ministry of the Interior on August 28. The Pu Yu self-help Association, which opposes the development, together with Hsinchu citizens and support groups, went to the Ministry of the Interior to submit a letter of signature of 10,000 people today, requesting that the central government should not be kidnapped by local development cases. It is required that the Metropolitan Committee of the Ministry of the Interior should uphold professional conscience and reject the case immediately.

The self-help Society and the citizens of Hsinchu accused the Hsinchu County government of putting forward development plans for "fake parks, real property speculation,"overcollection of 400 hectares of fertile land in specific agricultural areas," and "destroying the last piece of rural Hakka culture in Zhubei." Through the action drama, the Ring Tuan and the self-help Society will unite the public and environmental forces to protect fertile land and overturn the flood development project.

Pu Yu residents: land development should be returned directly; no matter how much money compensation, there will be no good neighbors in exchange for the land.

Chen Yixu, vice president of the Pu Yu self-help Association, complained that since the completion of the case in 2004, the content of the case has been changed many times, and the scope of expropriation has been continuously expanded from 80 hectares in the industrial park to 40 hectares in the Zhubei campus of Jiaotong University and 20 hectares in the international village. the scope of expropriation has expanded to more than 400 hectares of fertile land in specific agricultural areas. Chen Tong criticized: "the ad hoc group of the Ministry of the Interior's metropolitan committee is well aware that the case is overcharged and dare not pass it. so far, it has been reviewed more than 12 times, but it has repeatedly asked for amendments, but is unwilling to veto it. The reason is that they do not dare to offend the local government, the consortia and investors behind the hype, which is really disappointing."

The landlord Fan Junyuan, who attended the meeting, worked in Zhubei and lived all his life, saying that he had ploughed the fields all his life to make a living, and that the government could not forcibly deprive the people of their livelihood. He stressed that there are many families living here for generations within the scope of expropriation, and they are all emotional settlements, and they cannot buy such an environment even if they have money. He believes that "if you want to break up the family and move away, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy this kind of human tradition. If you lose your land, even your emotions will be torn apart. These lands are inherited from your ancestors and cannot be measured by money."

Small farmers: CSA agriculture in Hsinchu is competitive. I hope the government will not obliterate the possibility of urban and rural cooperation.

Zhan Wulong, founder of the Natural Farmers' Club, who has been farming in Zhubei for 13 years, said that local agriculture is about to be crushed due to the opening up of imported agricultural products, but Zhubei rural areas are one of the few that can develop a competitive agricultural environment. As the countryside is very close to the city, the Touqian River Basin is suitable for the development of community-supported agriculture (CSA,Community Supported Agriculture), so that citizens can come to the countryside to experience during the holidays. Friendly small farmers can easily find their own consumers. Through the elimination of real estate, they can bridge the gap between urban and rural areas for a long time, in the hope that the government can keep this piece of rural areas.

Lin Jinbao, chairman of the Taiwan friendly Rice Promotion Association, said that after the attack of the COVID-19 epidemic, the public realized that a food crisis is not impossible, and that if there is an emergency, ensuring food security is the first priority. Today, 10,000 citizens are concerned about the future development of uncut jade and fertile land, and expect the government to respond to the public's "protection of agricultural land," so that urban development and rural areas can coexist and co-flourish, so that rice produced by uncut jade can continue to be the pride of Hsinchu people.
