#Taiwan has just elected a new president—current VP William Lai. This result, in a pivotal election, is a sign of the Taiwanese people standing up against the influence of the CCP, which tried to sway the elections through information operations. http://ept.ms/TaiwanElectionResults

🇹🇼Lai Says Peace Requires Strength, Not Agreements Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te visited the Joint Operations Command Center on April 14 to observe the Han Kuang 42 exercise, a 14-day, 13-night computer-based war game simulating high-intensity combat scenarios. Lai urged commanders to treat the drills with full combat seriousness in order to identify deficiencies and strengthen capabilities. Lai stated that peace is a shared goal of Taiwan's people, but that it must be built on self-defense capability rather than any written agreement. The exercise incorporates whole-of-society defense resilience concepts, aiming to improve civil-military coordination and implement new training methods, doctrine, equipment, and technology to build asymmetric capabilities. Lai again called on Taiwan's legislature to pass the government's defense special budget without reduction, citing polling showing over 70 percent public support. He said the budget would fund what he described as a defensive shield for Taiwan and protect the lives and property of its people. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼Taiwan Chip Body Urges Helium, LNG Stockpiles The Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association has called on the government to stockpile strategic raw materials, including helium and liquefied natural gas, citing risks that Middle East conflict could disrupt long-term supplies critical to semiconductor production. The association also voiced support for reopening nuclear power plants as part of efforts to secure stable energy supplies for the chip industry. The Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association stated that long-term supply chain impacts of the conflict in the Middle East require ongoing monitoring. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼Taiwan Freezes Electricity Rates Amid Energy Pressures Taiwan's economy ministry announced on March 27 that electricity rates will not be adjusted at this review cycle, citing risks from the Middle East conflict and shifts in international tariffs. The ministry's electricity price review committee, which convenes every March and September, decided to hold rates steady to support consumer price stability and industrial competitiveness. Taiwan has kept inflation below the central bank's 2 per cent warning threshold for ten consecutive months. The island is a major producer of advanced semiconductors and has been sourcing crude oil and LNG from alternative suppliers, including the United States, after its previous dependence on Middle East supply was disrupted by the conflict. Separately, state-owned utility Taipower submitted a proposal to the Nuclear Safety Commission to reopen Taiwan's last nuclear plant, which was closed in 2025. The commission's safety inspections could take up to two years before any restart would be possible. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼Ko Wen-je sentenced to 17 years for corruption A Taipei court on Thursday found former city mayor and one-time presidential candidate Ko Wen-je guilty of corruption and misuse of political donations, sentencing him to 17 years in prison. Prosecutors had sought a combined total of more than 28 years, citing bribes of T$17.1 million linked to a major property development and the embezzlement of tens of millions in political donations. Ko, who served as Taipei mayor from 2014 to 2022 and placed third in the 2024 presidential election, was arrested that same year and has been on bail since September. He has consistently denied wrongdoing, characterizing the investigation as politically motivated. The court also stripped Ko of his citizenship rights for six years, barring him from standing for office, though he retains the right to appeal. Ko is the founder of the Taiwan People's Party, whose chairman Huang Kuo-chang rejected the verdict and pledged continued support for Ko outside the courthouse. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼 Taiwan parliament authorizes government to sign stalled US arms deals Taiwan's parliament on Friday ​authorized the government to sign US agreements for four arms sales packages, after officials ‌warned that Taipei would go to the back of the line if it missed the deadline. After lawmakers from both sides agreed on Thursday that the government ​could still sign the agreements in advance, even if the reviews of the spending proposals are not ​approved in time, parliament formally gave its legal authorization. On Tuesday, Defense Minister Wellington Koo told reporters the letters of offer and acceptance for 82 HIMARS systems the US announced as part of ⁠an $11-billion ​arms sale package for Taiwan would expire on March 26. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼 Taiwan defense minister rejects opposition's cut‑price budget Taiwan's Defense Minister Wellington Koo on Friday rebuffed the main opposition party, which ‌had proposed a defense budget roughly one-third of the amount sought by the government and set a deadline for US arms purchases that he said was impossible. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te last year proposed extra defense spending of $40 billion to counter China, which ​has ramped up military pressure to force the island to accept its claim ⁠of sovereignty. In the KMT's counter-proposal, a copy of ​which was reviewed by Reuters, the party set a cap of $11.96 billion on the spending ​and a deadline for completion by the end of 2028. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼 Taiwan parliament to discuss stalled special defense budget next week Taiwan's parliament will discuss late next week the government's stalled bill on a $40 billion special defense budget, which has been held up by opposition party objections attracting the concern of US lawmakers. The opposition, which has a majority in parliament, refused to review the proposal and instead advanced its own, less expensive proposals, which only fund the purchase of some of the US weapons the president wants. Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, the main opposition Kuomintang and its much smaller ally the Taiwan People's Party have now agreed to schedule discussion on the government's proposal on March 6. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼 Taiwan navy publicly displays Harpoon loadout in Perry-class Taiwan Navy invited media aboard frigate FengJia, revealing a combat-ready Harpoon on the MK 13 single-arm launcher in a simulated engagement—its first open look since the ships entered service in 2018. The showcase underlined the PERRY-class’s balanced air-defense and anti-ship design, contrasting with TAIWAN’s Cheng Kung-class, which centers surface strikes on indigenous Hsiung Feng II/III while using the launcher mainly for Standard-1. It also signals wider Harpoon expansion as UnitedStates-supplied HCDS coastal batteries begin arriving, adding mobile shore-based firepower alongside ship-launched capability. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼Taiwan opposition starts long shot bid to impeach President Lai Taiwan’s opposition lawmakers started the process of impeaching President Lai Ching-te – a bid that will almost certainly fail given they lack the votes to go forward. On Dec 26, legislators from the Kuomintang and the Taiwan People’s Party set the impeachment vote for May 19, 2026. The effort is very likely to stall out then because while the parties hold a majority of seats in Parliament, they lack the necessary two-thirds to proceed. The opposition says it wants to impeach Lai because his government refused to implement an amendment it passed that would shift more fiscal revenue to city and county governments, many of which are controlled by the KMT. #Taiwan @asianomics

🇹🇼 Taiwan’s first domestically built submarine misses delivery deadline Taiwanese shipbuilder CSBC Corp has missed the deadline for completing Taiwan’s first domestically made submarine, the defense minister said on Dec 1. The vessel is part of a submarine program launched in 2016 that aims to deliver a fleet of eight vessels, but opposition lawmakers have criticized the repeated delays in the project. Sea trials of the submarine began in June, nearly two years after it was first unveiled. The original target was to wrap up testing by Sept 30 and deliver the submarine by the end of November, the navy said previously. But Taiwan’s Defense Minister Wellington Koo said on Dec 1 that sea trials were still ongoing. #Taiwan @asianomics
