Maryland, U.S., Oct. 7 (CNA) Han Kuo-yu's (韓國瑜) defense policy will focus on "preventing our

adversary from making a decision to use force" if he is elected president, a defense advisor to the Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate said Monday in the United States.

The purpose of national defense is to "maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," and Han's focus will be on preventing China from deciding to use force against Taiwan and being a responsible partner for security in the Indo-Pacific, said Alexander Huang (黃介正), a defense and diplomatic affairs advisor to Han.

"We will never be a troublemaker in the region," he said.

Huang was discussing the national defense positions of Han and the KMT and Taiwan's security situation in a speech at the annual U.S.-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference, which is being held this year in Ellicott City, Maryland.    [FULL  STORY]
