During a press conference held by the DPP caucus, concerns were raised regarding the Guanyin SRF case alleging that the Taoyuan City Government engaged in favoritism. The city's spokesperson, Luo Chu-Dong, mentioned that the DPP only criticized the victimized parties like former Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-Hua, former Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-Tsan, and former legislator Huang Shi-Jie, instead of those responsible for allowing three SRF companies to operate unchecked. The DPP's criticism has been directed at the city government for permitting these companies to enter without proper oversight, with accusations that specific individuals have been deflecting blame. The city's spokesperson emphasized that the entire process was flawed due to irregularities in recommendations and approvals by both the Economic Affairs Ministry and the former mayor. The DPP's blame game has overshadowed the seriousness of the situation and the lack of responsibility shown by key figures involved in the case.

As the Ukraine-Russia war enters a stalemate after over two years, the American think tank CSIS analyzes that Ukraine relies heavily on NATO for support, with readiness for direct involvement in the conflict, but raises concerns regarding the ability to sustain a prolonged war. While NATO remains prepared for engagement, factors like the US's willingness to deploy troops and weaponry, past experiences such as intervention in Libya, and the time required for recovery after participation, will influence whether NATO will engage in the conflict. The analysis also highlights the significant military losses suffered by Russia, with a 41% decrease in active main battle tanks since 2022, indicating a potential strain on their resources. Despite the preparedness of NATO, the ability to handle a sustained conflict remains a crucial factor in their decision-making process.
