On May 20th, his second anniversary in office, President Lai Ching-te delivered a speech at the Presidential Office to re-anchor Taiwan's future development. He proposed four major national strategies covering cross-strait relations, the economy, population, and national defense. He emphasized that Taiwan's future must be decided by its 23 million people, declared the maintenance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and rejected united front tactics that 'package unification in peace.' Economically, he will promote a NT$100 billion plan for SME transformation and noted Taiwan's strong economic growth. Socially, to counter the low birth rate, a monthly growth allowance of NT$5,000 per person for ages 0 to 18 will be proposed. In defense, he pledged to reinforce the defense budget, promote indigenous defense capabilities, and build an intelligent defense force to safeguard peace through strength.
