The Kuomintang should propose specific defense procurement plans, and the defense budget needs to be reasonably planned.

Regarding the recent call by Lai Ching-te to expedite the review of defense budget and overall budget. Former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je stated that during the 2024 election period, various parties had already discussed that the defense budget should exceed 3% of GDP, but emphasized that defense spending should not be wasted. Under the leadership of Chairman Huang Guochang, the Kuomintang is expected to propose specific military procurement plans so that various political parties can discuss them in the "Legislative Yuan".

Ko Wen-je pointed out that after communicating with the U.S., the People's Party will put forward a revised version, and any areas needing adjustment will continue to be reviewed and improved. The military procurement proposals from the blue (Kuomintang), green (Democratic Progressive Party) and white (People's Party) camps should be submitted as soon as possible so that everyone can have open discussions in the "Legislative Yuan".
