Kuomintang legislator Luo Zhiqiang criticized the situation, questioning whether Lai Ching-te or President Tsai Ing-wen were dissatisfied. Luo emphasized the importance of national security and criticized the current government's approach as potentially leading to defeat before the first battle even begins.

On June 17, 2024, the Taiwan FactCheck Center debunked a video circulating online claiming to show the latest attack by the Houthi rebels on a US aircraft carrier. The video actually featured a game creation model from Unreal Engine 4 and was not a real conflict scene. While the Houthis have claimed to attack US aircraft carriers recently, reports from the US Central Command indicate that no damage has been done so far. Various videos circulating on social media purportedly showing Houthi attacks on US vessels have been found to be either misappropriated old footage or game scenes, not authentic footage. The video in question was found to be a game scene and was deemed as disinformation. This disinformation comes amid the conflict in the Middle East following the Yemen 'Youth Movement' rebels (also known as the Houthis) attacking ships in the Red Sea post the Israel-Palestine conflict.
