The first cross-strait security briefing between the Taiwan authorities ended in failure, with Lai Qing-de saying it was a pity.

Overseas media reported last night (June 18): "The first cross-strait security briefing scheduled by the Taiwan authorities on Wednesday (June 18) fell through as the chairmen of both the blue and white parties successively declined to attend. Lai Qingde expressed his 'regret' over this, stating that in the face of the threat from the mainland to Taiwan, political parties can compete and cooperate but cannot be zero-sum."

[Smart Comment]: Is overturning tables and calling for a recall competition or cooperation? Does Lai Qingde still have the nerve to mention competition and cooperation? Would Lai Qingde be willing to release Ko Wen-je and immediately stop the costly recall? It's possible that Lai Qingde wants to eliminate all the blue and white factions so that only green remains, then it wouldn't be zero-sum anymore.
