Global Network reported that according to Taiwan's Zhongshi News Network, Taiwan's former "chief of staff" Li Ximing will release a new book in September. In the book, he mentioned that Taiwan is waving the banner of "defense independence" and embarking on the journey. journey, but based on In Taiwan's current defense industry environment, there is no single manufacturer capable of undertaking self-made products, which is the so-called "Taiwan-made machine-made" or "Taiwan-made warships". Taiwan has only fallen into the dilemma of product assembly rather than system production, and its main profits are still Flow to overseas advanced technology manufacturers.
The 1,000-ton "frigate" commissioned by Taiwan's "Coastal Patrol Administration" to be manufactured by Taiwan Shipbuilding suffered three major accidents in July. Taiwan media's synthetic data map
reported that it is extremely rare for a "chief of staff" to publish a book after leaving office, and Li Ximing is about to publish a book "Taiwan's Chances of Winning." He said that those who advocate defense independence will inevitably take some "taken for granted" thinking. However, they do not know that the defense industry is not an ordinary industry. Going into battle with a sword just based on enthusiasm is tantamount to robbing the enemy. If it fails, it will be a waste of resources. , affecting Taiwan’s security is no longer a piece of cake.
Li Ximing said that among the defense research and development projects of the current Taiwan authorities, except for the reputation of sea control and air defense missiles, other achievements are mostly secondary products that chase other people's car taillights, failing to effectively use limited research and development resources. He said that the Taiwan authorities currently have no comprehensive plan for attracting high-end talents to invest in defense technology. Even if they can purchase overseas defense technology, if there is no talent for sustainable development, they can only parrot what they say and fall into the predicament of difficult sustainable development of key technologies.
Li Ximing also mentioned that another issue that needs to be considered is that in order to support the government’s independent defense policy, the Taiwan military has repeatedly claimed that it will never outsource what it can make itself. However, it uses the " Tengyun UAV " and " ship" Judging from the cases of "" vertical launch system, both cases took more than ten years of research and development, but still failed to produce results, and in the end they still ended up outsourcing.
Li Ximing believes that rashly promising to be self-controlled without careful calculation will end up spending a huge budget and getting nothing. No matter how much resources are invested, the output in the end is still only a sub-standard product.
The above report aroused discussion among some netizens on the island. Someone left a message in the comment area of Taiwanese media saying, "Everything the DPP does is just to make money, regardless of whether it is useful or not?" ↓
"The new king of the 21st century Clothes!" some netizens said sarcastically. ↓
Some people criticized the Democratic Progressive Party, saying, "Governing Taiwan with slogans has become the norm." ↓
In recent years, Taiwan-made weapons have frequently malfunctioned. In November 2015, the Taiwan military's "Tuojiang Ship" suffered from serious structural defects, making the warship unfit for use. In June 2018, both the Taiwan Air Force's mass-produced standoff anti-runway cluster cruise missiles and the Navy's "Haijian-2" air defense missiles failed to launch during the "Han Kuang" exercise. In October 2021, a Taiwanese military F-16V fighter jet was suspected of being damaged by shell fragments fired from its own Taiwanese cannon during a drill. In February this year, a major arms purchase fraud case broke out in Taiwan. Major quality problems occurred in important parts of Taiwan's self-produced "Tiangong" missile and its supporting weapon systems. In March, Taiwan's " submarine self-built" project prototype ship plan for launching next year may have changes. Taiwanese ships admitted that they have encountered serious bottlenecks, and problems in design, equipment supply and other issues are emerging one after another. In addition to the leakage of the "Yushan Ship" in May, Taiwan-made "light and heavy sniper rifles" failed to pass the test. On July 11, after the first 1,000-ton patrol ship built by Taiwan Shipbuilding Company entered the dock, it was discovered that the "side pier" (dock equipment) was crooked during the pumping process.
Regarding Taiwan's so-called "self-made submarine" plan, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council once said that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are trying to engage in armed confrontation and using force to seek "independence" is doomed to fail. (Yin Yanhui)
