The media figure Zhao Shao-kang, who supports the 80-billion-dollar arms procurement package, expressed his frustration in yesterday's interview: "I truly meant well—I proposed a version acceptable to everyone. It's truly an unjust misfortune." He also unexpectedly revealed that Kuomintang (KMT) whip Fu Kun-chi might be eyeing the position of Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Yuan currently held by Jiang Qi-cheng, which explains why he has been so cooperative with the KMT. Zhao added that politics isn't as complicated or obscure as some make it out to be—what people want is clearly visible at a glance.
Responding today morning at a KMT caucus meeting, Fu Kun-chi addressed the arms procurement issue, stating that the biggest consensus within the party is that there must be a formal offer from the United States, and that essential maintenance and spare parts must be sustainably available afterward, to prevent numerous future problems. However, when questioned about Zhao Shao-kang’s remarks, Fu remained silent and walked away without comment.
