In response to KMT legislator Ma Wen-chun's proposal to freeze the budget for follow-on indigenous submarines, CSBC Corporation, Taiwan (CSBC) stated on the 20th that the prototype submarine Hai Kun has entered the latter half of its sea trials and is expected for delivery in the second half of this year, expressing confidence in constructing subsequent vessels. CSBC warned that if the plan and budget become unstable, it would lead to a loss of cultivated talent and suppliers, both domestic and foreign, significantly increasing the cost and time to restart the program, and urged the opposition not to disrupt this critical defense project.
