A political dispute in Taiwan centers on the scheduling of a military procurement case in the Lifǎ Yuàn. DPP lawmaker Ma Wen-chun has faced criticism from the Kuomintang (KMT) and opposition parties for the lack of a review schedule.

The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has stated that the case involves national security and sensitive information, necessitating a careful review process. To address the deadlock, some lawmakers have proposed a special consultation with the MND to clarify budget needs. Ma Wen-chun noted that internal negotiations are ongoing to develop a review mechanism that considers both defense priorities and oversight requirements.
