The Executive Yuan proposed a supplementary budget of 607.6 billion yuan for this year. In response to the review of the defense budget, Zhang Jiajun, a Kuomintang candidate and legislator for Yunlin County Magistrate, said that she absolutely supports the country's sufficient self-defense capabilities to reduce external threats.

The United Economic Democracy think tank called on the eight Kuomintang legislators who are participating in county mayors to support the Ministry of National Defense’s additional budget so that the national army can have a large number of drones to prevent the People’s Liberation Army from landing. If the additional budget is not passed by the 20th or is cut or frozen, Jiang Qichen and other eight blue committee members should withdraw from the election.

United for Economic Democracy analyzed eight "red beaches" where the Chinese People's Liberation Army's amphibious forces may land on a large scale, including Toucheng, Zhuangwei to Lize Beach in Yilan, Nanliao Beach in Hsinchu, Jiana Beach in Gaomei Wetland in Taichung, Mailiao Port in Yunlin, Xishu Beach in Tainan, Kaohsiung Forest Park and Xiziwan, Jialudang in Pingtung, and Guningtou in Kinmen. Call on Zhang Jiajun and others to support the 145.7 billion yuan national defense budget.

Zhang Jiajun said that peace cannot be relied on expectations, but must be protected by defense capabilities. She absolutely supports the country's sufficient self-defense capabilities to reduce external threats. This position is unquestionable.
