On May 20, President Lai Ching-te criticized KMT legislator Cheng Li-wun's 'two-legged' national security theory at the Presidential Office. President Lai argued the theory is unstable, stating that Cheng's obstruction of military purchases amounts to 'cutting off one leg,' while her acceptance of the '1992 Consensus' and abandonment of Taiwan's sovereignty allows China to 'cut off the other leg,' a situation he called extremely dangerous for Taiwan. He reiterated his 'Four Pillars of Peace' plan—strengthening defense, enhancing economic resilience, cooperating with democracies, and engaging in dialogue with China based on parity and dignity—as the foundation for Taiwan's security and regional peace.
