During the period of the National Security Council, his key work was not only to assist in the preparation of cross-strait cross party groups, but also to establish a trilateral dialogue platform among the United States, Japan and Taiwan. At the same time, Lin Jialong also founded "Taiwan think tank". In 2003, he served as the spokesman of the Executive Yuan to handle the SARS crisis as the spokesman of the government press release.

Zheng Wencan, director of the information bureau of the Executive Yuan, solemnly clarified that Lin Jialong, former director of the information bureau, handled the case in 1994 in order to let the South Asian victims affected by the tsunami feel the warmth from Taiwan society. Director Zheng said that "after tomorrow, 10000 hopes" raised a total of NT $407509527, which will be allocated to four NGOs in three years according to the entrusted plan.

" However, this case is different from the "South Asia tsunami donation case: whether (or not) the appropriation was delayed". It can only be said that the court ruled the fact that the KMT interfered with its reputation. In April 2008, Xie Changting named Lin Jialong and Luo Wenjia to run for the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which aroused discussion within the party and the society about their appropriateness. And cross foot media trying to influence public opinion, not only host the radio program "super public opinion".

political thought

During his university years, Lin Jialong participated in the "Society for the study of mainland issues" (former president), "Society for the study of the three principles of the people" and the "Juemin society" composed of elite Kuomintang students. In 1984, he was introduced to the election Research Office of Hoover, a famous professor in the Political Department of NTU. He began to pay attention to Taiwan's election politics, and founded the Taiwan political association with Chen Mingtong (later vice chairman of the Mainland Affairs Commission) and you Yinglong (now vice chairman of the mainland Affairs Commission). He has read a lot of materials about the history of the Communist Party of China, the international socialist movement and cross-Strait issues. He has also participated in various reading meetings and activities inside and outside the school. He has also participated in non party magazine reading meetings held by Qiu Yiren and Lin Zhuoshui. He has also come and gone with Wang Jinping and others who tend to unify. Lin Jialong's political stance changed since 1985 when Taiwan University students actively promoted the direct election of the chairman of the student representative Union. He was elected chairman of the direct election Design Promotion Committee because he was familiar with students from various schools and had a steady style. In 1986, Lin Jialong published an article "analyzing the power structure of Universities: the party, the Communist Youth League, the military training, and the information governance units in NTU" in the University news, a campus Journal of NTU. It was like a formal break with the Kuomintang. When the university journal was ordered to stop publication for one year because of resistance to peer review, he and the students launched a "love of freedom" struggle against the University. In 1988, Lin Jialong, who had studied in the Institute of political studies, and his classmates launched a "511 March" on the campus of NTU. When the school authorities wanted to drop him out of school on the grounds of affecting the school's reputation, but because of the loosening of Taiwan's political environment at that time, he was only recorded as a minor fault. In March 1990, Lin Jialong played an important role behind the scenes although he was in the military service. In the same year, Lin Jialong finished two years of military service and returned to Taiwan University to study for a doctorate. He organized a "Constitutional Reform Association" with some graduate students, and formed a "constitution making alliance of Taiwan students and professors" with the "Taiwan Education Association" with a clear stand of "Taiwan independence", which proposed the so-called "sovereignty" and "independence"“ In May 1991, when the "independent Taiwan Association" incident happened, Lin Jialong took part in the rescue of Chen zhengran, a Taiwan University student involved in the case. During the seven years of studying in the United States, Lin Jialong participated in various social activities. At that time, Taiwan had removed its political blacklist, and core members of the Taiwan student society, such as Li YingYuan and Guo Beihong, returned to Taiwan one after another. There was a vacuum in the Taiwan Student Society of the United States. Therefore, Lin Jialong joined the Taiwan Student Society of the United States in 1994, and held a "North American Taiwan research papers" publishing meeting with his classmates, once a year, with more than 100 people attending each time. Since 1995, Lin Jialong has participated in the International China research program. Later, he applied to the Institute of higher studies of the United Nations University in Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the research on China's sustainable development. The host of the program is Luo Fuquan, who became the "representative in Japan" after Chen Shuibian came to power. During his stay in the United States, Lin Jialong established certain friendship and relations with Taiwan associations in the United States, and experts in China Studies in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. His political scope also extended to Taiwan's history and culture, government transformation, and relations between the United States, Japan, and Taiwan. although Lin Jialong did not join the DPP after he returned home, his political philosophy was completely consistent with that of the DPP. After returning to Taiwan, he became a think tank of the DPP. In July 1999, he participated in the "Consultation Conference on constitutional reform expansion" as a scholar representative recommended by the DPP, advocating "amending the constitution" and laws to determine the territorial scope under the premise of the "two states theory"; in the 2000 "general election", he attended various political forums, public opinion analysis meetings, and went on TV, with a very clear attitude towards Chen Shui Bian Li Yuanzhe, an intermediary, has made an indispensable contribution to Bian. Therefore, when Chen Shui Bian unexpectedly found power, Lin Jialong became an "advisory member of the National Security Council", an important aide to Chen Shui Bian in dealing with "national defense", "foreign affairs" and cross-strait relations, and the first "ministerial level" senior official in the generation of the student movement. Lin Jialong, who has been entrusted with a heavy task, has become Chen Shui Bian's right-hand man, giving advice and suggestions in foreign relations and cross-strait relations. In addition, in order to help Chen Shui Bian stabilize the political situation and tide over the economic crisis, Lin Jialong also actively contributes to Chen Shui Bian's internal affairs. His efforts have deepened Chen Shui Bian's trust in him. On July 30, 2002, Lin Jialong joined the DPP in the name of the so-called "elite" under the high standard treatment of Chen Shui Bian, who also served as the party chairman and personally served as the party's introducer.
