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.
