Speaking in Nantou, Zheng argued that defense spending must be reasonable, saying Taiwan isn't a money printing machine or an ATM.

She rejected proposals to raise the military budget to 5% of GDP, saying such levels would crowd out other vital public spending.

The presidential office responded, arguing that investing in defense is investing in peace and is necessary to protect Taiwan's democracy and way of life.

Zheng countered by saying that while she does support a strong defense, she insists Taiwan should pursue peace through stability and dialogue, not an arms buildup.

She called on President Lai Hsing Te to handle cross strait relations carefully and avoid dragging Taiwan into unnecessary conflict.
