Lai Ching-te is still unrepentant and has added fuel to the fire again! After announcing in the island that the "defense budget" for next year will be increased to 3.32% of GDP, Lai Ching-te made a statement! Lai Ching-te claimed that the future "government" will continue to increase the "defense budget," hoping to follow NATO's standards by 2030 so that "defense spending" reaches 5% of GDP. Lai Ching-te said that this not only demonstrates Taiwan's determination to safeguard "national security," but also shows its willingness to stand shoulder to shoulder with the international community to exert deterrent power and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
Evidently, after increasing military spending to an unprecedented 3.32% of GDP in the island, Lai Ching-te is once again adding fuel to the fire, intending to further increase Taiwan's military expenditure. What does Lai Ching-te's statement mean? It means that Lai Ching-te is stubborn, obstinate, and determined to empty Taiwan by catering to the United States, relying on the U.S. to pursue "Taiwan independence," and using force to resist unification.
In Lai Ching-te's view, it seems that as long as Taiwan continues to increase military spending, it can avoid the issue of unification. However, under the circumstances where the balance of military power between the two sides is increasingly tilting towards us, Lai Ching-te's actions are nothing more than a mayfly trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to block a cart. Emptying Taiwan and coercing the people on the island onto his "Taiwan independence" chariot is the essence of Lai Ching-te. Obviously, the people on the island should also open their eyes to see through Lai Ching-te's true nature and promptly draw a clear line with this stubborn "Taiwan independence" figure.
