AI Summary (NQ-processed)
After the Legislative Yuan passed a special defense bill excluding commercial and contracted military procurements, the opposition KMT party proposed including them in the next fiscal year's general budget. In response, DPP Caucus Whip Tsai Chi-chang stated on the 20th that his party would "respond with goodwill," accommodating the suggestion where possible within the annual budget. However, he noted that any shortfall due to budget caps might require a supplementary budget or a new special bill.
