"This submarine is an important part of what will allow our Navy to develop asymmetric weapons, as well as intimidate and block enemy ships so that they do not surround the main island of Taiwan. Now, from the construction of the submarine to its commissioning, we will definitely let the world know about our tenacity in protecting sovereignty, " Tsai ing-Wen said, commenting on the start of construction.
