the new session of taiwan's public opinion institutions is about to begin, and the highlight is the review of the taiwan authorities' annual budget. among them, the budget for the "submarine self-manufacturing" project, which has been debated from before to after the two elections in taiwan, has attracted much attention. however, wang hongwei, a kuomintang legislator, revealed that there are three key souls in the "submarine self-manufacturing" project, two of whom are about to leave their posts, making people curious about who will lead the "submarine self-manufacturing" project in the future. wang hongwei also questioned whether the plan would change, or whether someone's financial path would be blocked again?

it is understood that the budget for the "submarine self-manufacturing" project of the taiwan authorities is compiled in a 14-year budget. in a recent interview, taiwan leader lai ching-te said that the taiwan executive yuan has first allocated a budget of nt$284 billion (hereinafter referred to as nt$) to build the "haikun" (hereinafter referred to as 7 submarines) in the next 14 years, but the budget will be approved according to the actual situation. lai ching-te also said that this is only a "temporary allocation" budget, whether it is a 14-year budget or a nt$284 billion budget, "it is only a temporary allocation."

lai qingde's statement of "temporary adjustment" has caused the outside world to question whether the budget for the "submarine self-manufacturing" project will continue to expand as the specific figures of the project are still unknown. legislatives from both the ruling and opposition parties also said that they would wait until the budget review to ask for clarification. but at this moment, it was reported that the two key figures in the "submarine self-manufacturing" project would resign, which once again sparked discussion.

wang hongwei posted on facebook that taiwan's defense department will send the budget for next year to taiwan's public opinion institutions at the end of august. the budget for "submarine self-manufacturing" that has attracted attention from all walks of life is 284 billion yuan, which will be implemented in 14 years starting from next year, and 7 subsequent submarines will be built. however, two of the three souls of the prototype submarine "haikun" have already left or are about to leave. among them, huang shuguang wanted to resign from the positions of "taiwan security council advisory committee" and "submarine self-manufacturing" group convener" in april this year. although huang shuguang was retained as "taiwan security council advisory committee" after the new taiwan authorities came to power. however, it was recently reported that zheng wenlong, chairman of the taiwan shipbuilding corporation, stepped down without warning, and shao weiyang, a "counselor" of the taiwan defense department and a lieutenant general of the taiwan navy, was about to retire due to age. the three key roles of "submarine self-manufacturing" will be "missing two".

wang hongwei said that the "submarine self-manufacturing" project has gone through various ups and downs since its planning, and finally reached the stage of launching the prototype submarine for preparation and testing, and the stage of compiling the follow-up ships. however, after the lai qingde administration came to power, two important people in the "submarine self-manufacturing" project resigned, which made people wonder whether there would be any changes in the plan, or whether someone's financial path was blocked?

wang hongwei also said that tsmc is a company that contracts major ships for the taiwan authorities, and "self-built submarines" is an important achievement in defense that the democratic progressive party has promoted since coming to power. from the beginning of planning to now, all parties believe that "the water is very deep." after the taiwan authorities compiled a 280 billion budget for 14 years, tsmc's chairman zheng wenlong was suddenly asked to resign without warning, and the person behind the scenes is said to be lai qingde's confidant. it is worrying that the follow-up of "self-built submarines" will be dominated by the taiwan authorities' defense policy or the interests of brokers?

in response to the controversy caused by taiwan's "self-made submarines", chen binhua, spokesperson for the taiwan affairs office of the state council, once said that wasting the hard-earned money of the taiwanese people on these useless things will not make taiwan safer, but will only make taiwanese compatriots more and more uneasy. the dpp authorities are warned that there is no way out of separatist confrontation, and the delusion of "seeking independence through force" is even more presumptuous.(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
