Construction of the multi-layered "T-Dome" air defense system will be accelerated to provide multi-layered defense, high-level detection, and effective interception to protect lives and property. A special defense budget will be proposed by the end of 2025, with overall defense spending rising to over 3% of GDP next year and 5% by 2030. Increased defense spending is positioned as necessary to counter threats and to drive development of the domestic defense industry. Domestic supply chains will be bolstered to create a robust line of defence. Beijing is urged to renounce use of force and help maintain Indo-Pacific stability.
