While several US arms procurements are facing delays, 18 sets of M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) are expected to arrive ahead of schedule by the end of next year, a Ministry of National Defense report showed.

The ministry is to brief the Legislative Yuan’s Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee today on the progress of major procurement projects, including the HIMARS, F-16V Block 70 jets, AGM-154C Joint Standoff Weapons and Mark 48 heavy torpedoes.

The report, delivered to the legislature yesterday, said that the second batch of HIMARS was originally scheduled for delivery in 2027.

‘One China’ not key to peace: president

Tuesday, 21 October 2025 03:12 Taipei Times

President William Lai (賴清德) yesterday said that it would be impossible to achieve cross-strait peace simply by accepting the so-called “1992 consensus” and Beijing’s “one China” principle.

Lai made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the Overseas Community Affairs Council Conference in Taipei after former Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmaker Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文), who favors closer ties with Beijing, was elected as KMT chairwoman on Saturday.

The KMT on Sunday confirmed that Cheng had received a congratulatory message from Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) for her win and she reiterated her support for the “1992 consensus” in her reply to Xi.

Activist groups yesterday campaigned at the Miramar Plaza in Taipei’s Dazhi area to call for amendments to the Referendum Act (公民投票法) and recalling legislators they say are not doing their jobs.

Taiwan March (島國前進) leader Chen Wei-ting (陳為廷) said that President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) administration’s response to the public’s demands across a range of issues has been to hold a national affairs conference on economics and trade and establish a youth advisory group for the Executive Yuan.
