A 616-million-NTD military network firewall procurement turns out to be compromised equipment pre-loaded with a Chinese Communist Trojan horse—gear that even China itself bans. This absurd bidding scandal exposes the DPP government's reckless political patronage, installing unqualified politicians as Ministers of National Defense, which has rotted Taiwan's defense capabilities to the core.
A passionate and condemnatory submission by author Zhang Longguang, who, based on his personal experience growing up in Dongyin, Matsu, and witnessing the dangers of landmines, strongly criticizes the government"s decision to purchase the M136 "Volcano" mine-laying system. The article points out that landmines can shift due to wind and rain, are difficult to clear, and plastic mines are even harder to detect, which will turn Taiwan"s coastlines and mountainous areas into permanent "forbidden zones." The author views this as an act of harming 23 million Taiwanese compatriots and curses all military and political officials involved in this decision. The article concludes with information about the Ottawa Treaty, highlighting the U.S."s non-signatory status.
