The summonses were concluded in Taiwan, with the first round held on July 26 and the second on August 23. keep Their seats.
Popular organizations Start The allegations are in response to the controversial positions and procedures for the legislators. Unnamed flights To China and Meetings With CCP officials, to Freezing From the military budget in Taiwan and legislation This would allow military personnel and officials to pledge loyalty to China. The other central issue was KMT efforts Expand Yuan Legislative powers-a habitte aimed at overcoming the Taiwanese President Lay Cheng T, who is also the leader of the pro-independent Democratic Democratic Party (DPP).
This comes at a time when China continues intensification Her military training around the island Gray areas attacks.
results “”A large summons movement“Hold some major meals.
It seems that the legislators in KMT will be equipped to take action against the DPP agenda. They may oppose any kind of suggestions made by DPP to enhance the island’s defenses and may look forward to setting controversial figures in various partisan situations.
Some individuals have criticize Lai administration approach to dealing with KMT as flexible. President Lay last Reconciliation notes Expressing his willingness to work with KMT on the issues of mutual interests contradict this confirmation. Not yet to see how this plays, but it might be the case that KMT will reject this peace offer.
After all, KMT officials framed The democratic practice of the summons – paved in the Taiwan constitution – as political persecution, is echoed Propaganda. The lawmakers also threatened KMT Remove President Lay earlier in the year.
To what extent will the President Lay be ready to go to a compromise with KMT also remains a question, given his administration’s focus on enhancing Taiwan’s security. The settlement can only go until now when the other side that buys weapons, preparing the island’s forces, developing its asymmetric defense capabilities, and treating Chinese infiltration like “Provocative” procedures.
Political stalemate, along with the created KMT, also carries effects on relations between the United States-Tuwan and the contestants.
The president’s plan to increase the military budget can be met by KMT resistance again. Earlier this year, KMT Froze The military budget in Taiwan, and got cash From American lawmakers. KMT decided Cancellation of freezing The budget before the summons is to try to alleviate negative public opinion.
The KMT obstacle to military spending and the development of defense in Taiwan will undoubtedly frustrate Washington, because the Trump administration has over and over again. The name Taiwan to raise its defensive spending to 10 percent of its gross domestic product. This inaction may contribute to the tension between Taipei and Washington, which caused the US government to doubt Taiwan’s commitment to national defense and its support to the leadership of the United States Deterrence In the Asia Pacific region.
Worse, friendly friendly friendly legislation that KMT pushed intentionally a priority for President Ly’s foreign policy will have the ability to get rid of relations between the United States, which leads to punitive measures by Washington.
However, President Lay suggested Increase defensive spending To 5 percent of GDP by 2030, it is still less than what the Trump administration requires. Perhaps Lai should consider re -customizing $ 29.99 billion from Green transition For the national defense – a step that will greatly push Taiwan and the region.

The year 2030 may be too late with US officials Claim Shi has ordered the People’s Liberation Army to prepare to invade Taiwan by 2027, Some factors It can affect China’s willingness to launch a large -scale invasion.
Some arguments to be sure The result of retrieval operations may somewhat weaken CCP, at least at the present time, and Beijing may be explained as the preference of Taiwanese voters for the current situation of the divided government instead of a unified government under CCP models.
However, there is nothing that leads me to believe that the Chinese military forces will abandon their efforts to intimidate the island, infiltrate the Taiwanese society, and prepare for a large -scale invasion. The Chinese Communist Party views Taiwan as an integral part of State Building Project Now more than ever, although Taiwan is an independent country that has not been governed by the People’s Republic of China.
If anything, Beijing will double in the coming months. CCP is likely to look at this failed vote as an opportunity to escalate the impacts to weaken Taiwan internally and as limits of the efforts of the Lai government to confront China, all of which may lead to more monitoring and participation by the United States
Despite all the next possible challenges, retrieval operations are a reminder of the safe and transparent Taiwan elections. This is in particular time, as President Trump seeks to eliminate mail votes in the United States to address the voters’ fraud.
