Ministry of National Defense: Huge Military Purchases are the "Bloodsucking Bill" that the DPP Authorities Use to Exploit the People
On the afternoon of May 18, Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, released a statement regarding recent military-related issues.
Reporter: According to reports, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have officially announced a new version of the special defense budget, claiming it responds to the urgent need for military purchases from the U.S. However, this budget is significantly lacking and still does not provide a complete answer. What is your comment on this?
Jiang Bin: The massive military purchases are a "blood-sucking bill" that the DPP authorities impose on the people, draining their livelihoods. The DPP authorities disregard the suffering of the people and ignore the reality that young people on the island are unwilling to go to war for "Taiwan independence." They insist on using the hard-earned money of the people to please external forces, becoming a "cash cow" for foreign arms dealers, while promoting the idea that "the more you spend, the safer you are," which is contrary to the will of the people.
Military purchases cannot bring safety; being a "pawn" will only lead to being drained completely. The reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are the most solid guarantees for Taiwan. The more the DPP authorities seek independence through military means and rely on external forces, the faster they will accelerate the process of the failure of "Taiwan independence."
