DPP: Stop Malicious Smearing of Drone Industry; Don't Destroy the Next 'Guardian Mountain'

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) stated on the 26th that Taiwan's drone industry is crucial to the island's 'national defense autonomy' and global 'democratic supply chain' strategic layout. It is a potential 'Guardian Mountain' for Taiwan and should not be a target for political struggle. The DPP urged the opposition to stop malicious smearing and avoid using the same tactics that previously crippled the biotech industry. DPP spokesperson Wu Zheng warned against repeating the 'three-part tragedy' seen in the Yuchang, OBI Pharma, and Medigen vaccine cases, which stifled strategic industries. Wu highlighted that Taiwanese firms have become the first in Asia to obtain US Blue UAS certification and secure US Department of Defense contracts, calling this a true 'pride of Taiwan.'
