President Tsai Ing-wen's speech at the Army Academy's centennial event expressing the need to avoid a 'first battle, last battle' scenario was criticized by Ma Ying-jeou's foundation as promoting war instead of peace. In response, Defense Minister Yen De-fa clarified that Taiwan has never sought war but aims to deter attacks and weaken the enemy's capabilities. The Minister's comments were made during a briefing on Taiwan's military strength enhancement plans at the legislature's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
