Taiwan accelerates weapons purchase plan
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te emphasized that Taiwan's efforts to protect its security and reject joining China are not considered exploitation. He expressed hope that the United States would approve their new weapons purchase request. Lai pointed out that Taiwan seeks to hold dialogue with China based on respect and equality, but he affirmed that the Taiwanese people are the ones who decide the future of the island and that Taiwan will continue strengthening its defense capabilities, despite China's opposition, which considers Taiwan's issue an internal matter. The Taiwanese side announced a defense spending plan of $6.66 billion USD to enhance military capabilities, while Lai confirmed that these purchases send a message of readiness to affirm Taiwan's national security.
