Hsiao enumerated several reforms implemented by the government and vowed to keep the progress going. Hsiao approved of President Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) endeavor to tackle transnational challenges regarding climate crises and the dissemination of disinformation. The next president and vice president need to respond prudently to the volatile global situation, she added. During the second phase of the debate, Hsiao promised to continue providing the military with sufficient equipment, proposing to expedite the domestic manufacture of weapons, procuring more foreign equipment and modernizing training content. Hsiao encouraged people to support her and the DPP’s presidential candidate, Vice President William Lai (賴清德), and vowed to continue to let Taiwan shine on the world stage.
