On the morning of September 16, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. The following is a transcript of some transcripts. Reporter: Taiwanese media reported that the 2027 defense budget and special budget approved by Taiwan's administration accounted for nearly 4% of GDP. Hsiao Mei-chin reiterated Lai Qingde's promise to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. Any comments on this please? Zhu Fenglian: The DPP administration is trying to “seek independence through military force” and “rely on the US to seek independence” and “rely on the US for independence,” and has gone wild on the evil path of poor soldiers. It not only crowds out the island's livelihood and social welfare expenses, harms the Taiwanese people's vital interests, but also takes Taiwan step by step into a more dangerous situation, making the Taiwanese people cannon fodder for “Taiwan independence.” This act of harming Taiwan and destroying Taiwan and self-defeating will definitely be strongly opposed by the Taiwanese people.
