According to Taiwan's China Times on March 28, the Taiwan authorities' self-built submarine plan is difficult to get on track, and Taiwan security department official Huang Shuguang severely blamed the responsible supervisor of the project for this.

Taiwan military officials revealed that the progress of the submarine self-made project is currently in line with the planned node and is still within the control scope. However, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the equipment delivery time has been delayed. At present, although many equipment drawings of detailed design systems have been completed, the original factory provides insufficient information, and there is data that needs to be changed, making it difficult for some construction goals to reach the progress, which may affect the completion progress of the submarine self-built project.
In view of the above reasons, Taiwan military officials said that the first prototype submarine should be launched in September 2024 as originally planned. As for the statement that the previous report progress exceeded one year ago, it may be difficult to achieve.
Taiwan media said that it is understood that Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen is also highly concerned about the progress of the submarine self-built project. Some media speculated that she might want to preside over the launch ceremony herself before leaving office, but based on the recent progress of the Taiwan military's inventory, Tsai Ing-wen's wish may be disappointed.
Taiwan media quoted Taiwan military officials as saying that after verification, the relevant responsible personnel of the Taiwan ship failed to fulfill their duties and grasp the actual situation, and their work efficiency was not good. They have been severely criticized by Huang Shuguang, the convener of the submarine self-made project and security department official. Because the employees are not in a high mood, Taiwan Shipbuilding Chairman Zheng Wenlong also wrote a letter to encourage employees to cheer them up.
