in recent years, the dpp authorities have tried every possible means to "compete" with the mainland militarily: on the one hand, they cling to the "thighs" of the united states, on the other hand, they frantically produce and sell their own products, trying to gain "discourse power" in the taiwan strait with a so-called "tough attitude", but they have been repeatedly slapped in the face by reality, causing public resentment on the island...

recently, the "self-made" submarine "haikun" that the taiwan military has boasted about for a long time encountered a "waterloo". in the inspections that have been completed, more than 70 items of the "haikun" failed and need to be corrected before re-inspection. an insider of the taiwan military revealed that under this situation, its official departure to sea may be postponed until april next year. as the sea trial time is extended, the taiwan navy has also postponed the completion time of the "haikun" to 2029. some netizens mocked, "the dpp is playing house when it comes to building submarines。”

as the first "self-made submarine" touted by the taiwan military, the "haikun" was officially started as early as november 2021, and the "naming and launching ceremony" was held in september 2023. although the submarine is named "self-made", some analysts on the island bluntly stated thatdue to taiwan's limited technical capabilities, a large number of imported equipment were actually used during the construction process.and because many of the equipment were not from the original manufacturer, when the professional team conducted the test, the taiwan navy was unable to produce the corresponding certificates, which was surprising.

what’s more interesting is that despite the repeated delays in the launch of the submarine, the dpp authorities have not slowed down their spending. last month, the taiwan executive yuan passed the 2025 budget, in which the taiwan military allocated nt$284 billion for the “self-made submarine mass production plan”, planning to build seven “new submarines” from 2025 to 2038.

at that time, some military experts on the island pointed out the "little trick" of taiwan leader lai ching-te:he hopes to use this "first pass, then pass" approach to get the taiwan legislative yuan's authorization for the subsequent annual budget for the "self-made submarine mass production plan" before the prototype ship test is completed.in other words, lai qingde may have known that the "haikun" would not pass the test, but in order to fulfill his militaristic "ambition", he had no choice but to resort to this last resort. what he didn't expect was that the "self-made submarine" that the "taiwan independence" forces had high hopes for was so fragile.

faced with overwhelming doubts from the outside world, the taiwan military was not panicked at all, as if they had already thought of an excuse to deal with it. first, some people pushed the responsibility to the current taiwan navy commander tang hua, saying that he "was not a submarine officer and could not accurately grasp the progress throughout the process"; then they pointed the finger at the taiwan shipbuilding corporation responsible for building the submarine, saying that "there was poor communication between it and the taiwan navy, and many test technical details had not yet been integrated, which led to the obstruction of the test progress." as a result, netizens on the island asked back, "were these problems discovered on the last day?"

in fact, as early as the beginning of tsai ing-wen's administration, the dpp authorities had put the so-called "self-made submarine" plan on the agenda and shouted the slogan of "launching in 8 years and 'forming an army' in 10 years." as a result, it was not until september last year that the taiwan military completed the "shelling" of the "self-made" submarine, but it announced to the outside world that it was "launched." public opinion on the island criticized it for "completely trying to achieve 'verbal formation of an army' before tsai ing-wen stepped down, treating the taiwanese people as fools."

today, in response to the verbal and written criticism from public opinion on the island, the dpp authorities headed by lai ching-te have once again hit a new low. not only have they turned a deaf ear to the voices of the taiwanese people, they have even continued to squander the hard-earned money of the people to purchase and manufacture weapons, attempting to tie taiwan step by step to the "taiwan independence" chariot and force the taiwanese people to serve as "taiwan independence cannon fodder." it can be seen that taiwan will really not be better off unless the dpp falls.

taiwan’s china times published a commentary pointing out that the issue of the taiwan military’s “self-made” submarines has been debated for a long time. whether taiwan has the ability to “self-build” is one question, and whether it is necessary to “self-build” is another question.only by striving for peaceful development across the taiwan strait can we achieve long-term peace and stability.the dpp authorities should think twice about whether it is necessary to "build ships" on a large scale.

"taiwan independence" means war, which is an insurmountable "red line". as the mainland has repeatedly emphasized, no matter how many weapons the dpp authorities make or how much equipment they buy, it is all a waste of money and a window dressing.if the "haikun" is used to "seek independence through force", it will sooner or later become a "fish in the net" of the people's liberation army.. a mantis trying to stop a chariot will eventually lead to its own destruction.
