Executive Summary:
A $25 billion special defense budget passed Taiwan’s legislature, ensuring funds for U.S. arms purchases but cutting most funding for domestic defense programs, including drones, presented in the government’s original $40 billion proposal.
The cuts were instigated by Kuomintang (KMT) chairwoman Cheng Li-wun and represent a political victory for her faction of the main opposition party, which supports lower defense spending and friendlier ties between Taiwan and the Peop
