Premier Cho Jung-tai has signed the drone development act into law, emphasizing budget control and national security while urging legislative action on funding.
What Happened
Legislative Action: Premier Cho Jung-tai has officially signed the "Defense Autonomy and Unmanned Vehicle Industry Development Act" into law. Despite differences from the original Executive Yuan proposal, the government is prioritizing national security and industrial competitiveness to move forward.
Core Principles: The administration has outlined two key principles for implementation: maintaining the Executive Yuan's authority over budget allocation and ensuring the highest standards of national security protection. These measures are designed to safeguard military deployments and supply chain integrity.
Industrial Strategy: The government aims to create a stable market for domestic drone and unmanned vessel production through a model of large-scale, long-term orders and iterative updates. This strategy is intended to incentivize private sector investment and research, positioning Taiwan within global non-red supply chains.
Budgetary Urgency: The Executive Yuan has submitted a supplementary budget of NT$55.9 billion for unmanned vehicles. Officials are calling on all political parties to expedite the review of this supplementary budget and the upcoming annual general budget to secure Taiwan's defense and industrial future.
