Regarding Li Shiyuan's statement, Lai Shih-pao believes that the idea is that in order to be free, the United States "protects" you, and you have to pay a price, which is paying a "protection fee." Buying weapons is also a form of "protection fee," and the U.S. tells you to pay quickly. If we don't pay fast enough, the U.S. gets angry. How has the Democratic Progressive Party become so self-abasing to reach this situation? We paid the money but didn't get anything. Shouldn't the Legislative Yuan speak up? It's just strict review, not opposing the 1.25 trillion. The People's Party wants to propose a version, and the Kuomintang also seems to want to propose a version. We hope the weapons purchased are used for real purposes.
