00:00Can you elaborate a little bit on why you think that these delays are happening and what their origin is?

00:30Do you think the decision to seek compensation could negatively affect U.S. Taiwan relations?

00:55That according to the past experience of the American government, it's going to be a little bit less than the U.S.

01:12It is not a certain kind of cooperation that will give us some benefit from the U.S.

01:20So that you can consider it.

01:22Not just to consider that the US is delayed, so we need to pay the amount of money.

01:26This is probably not true.

01:30Can you explain what the backlog is in total and what it means?

01:34Are these weapons that Taiwan has paid for but has not received yet?

01:37Or are these weapons that have been agreed upon but payment and delivery has not happened yet?

01:41I think these 210 million is the number from the past to now.

01:46That is also相對 of the China-based government in the past.

01:54Actually, in this case, we have to think about the issue.

01:59After a point of time, we will mention that the US will be more than the US will be over the past.

02:07The US will be over the past and the US will be over the past the future.

02:11美国会不会因为超过我们合约规定的一定的比例的价经以后

02:17美国会不会要求我们重新谈判再调整相关售价

02:22可能这是我们要去思考的

02:23而不是说我们现在只单纯是说我们付了那么多钱
