They will proactively refer the public humiliation case to judicial investigation and will not tolerate it.
Gu Lixiong said in an interview at the Legislative Yuan this morning that the Army had issued a press release yesterday expressing regret, stating that this was a very clear case of disciplinary disorder, and the company commander has been transferred from his current position. He added that for discriminatory remarks or disciplinary disorder like this, it is necessary to continue strengthening all levels of supervisors, conduct necessary propaganda, and continuously instill correct concepts.
In addition, there is still no consensus between the ruling and opposition parties in the Legislative Yuan on the draft special act for national defense. Gu Lixiong stated that the Ministry of National Defense's position is to continue appealing to lawmakers from both sides to rationally view the NT$1.25 trillion special act and the subsequent budget, regardless of party affiliation.

Therefore, he still appeals to both sides to jointly support it.
