Kmt pretty much is surrendering to CCP with their millitary budget cuts .
go read more 3rd party news and not those DPP supported media.
modern KMT has always been conservative about military budget and wants to approach china with diplomacy.
Some thinks KMT are being 统战 and coerced into political concessions.
DPP is more extreme and wants to arm Taiwan to prevent China invasion, which ironically some taiwanese thinks is provoking china and escalating to war.
If you notice, both side also wanna prevent war, just different method.
KMT play soft, DPP plays hard.
Both solution also have their pros and cons.
