Plan to build bridge to Xiamen denied

ISLAND LINKSKinmen County officials and others denied a ‘Liberty Times’ report that a Kinmen-Little Kinmen bridge would pave the way for a road link to China

By Shih Hsiu-chuan and Vincent Y. Chao  /  STAFF REPORTERS

DPP caucus whip Chai Trong-rong (蔡同榮) called the Kinmen Bridge a “necessary tool in Ma’s plans for eventual unification” because it could eventually pave the way for a “Kinmen-Xiamen bridge.”

Chai said both bridges would be “a waste of taxpayers’ money.”

Any bridge linking Taiwan with China would result in an additional defense burden for the armed forces, Chai said.
