- Description
- Taiwan’s opposition-controlled legislature has passed an amendment that would fully subsidize health insurance premiums for people aged 65 and older who fall within the 20% tax bracket. The measure could benefit up to four million people but is expected to cost the government more than US$1.2 billion. Critics, including healthcare reform advocates and the health ministry, warn the policy could undermine the sustainability of Taiwan’s National Health Insurance system and shift costs to younger generations. Supporters argue the central government should bear the expense to reduce disparities between local governments and ease financial pressure on seniors and their families.

- Description
- Taiwan election authorities have rejected the candidacies of 11 China-born individuals seeking to run in upcoming local elections, citing eligibility requirements tied to Chinese household registration. Among those disqualified is former Taiwan People’s Party Legislator Li Chen-hsiu, whose bid for Zhubei mayor was rejected after she failed to provide proof that she had given up her Chinese household registration at least 10 years ago. China-born You Zhi-bin was also barred from running for Taipei city council for the same reason. Meanwhile, 14 China-born candidates have met the legal requirements and remain in the race.

- Bini, dubbed "the national girl group" of the Philippines, is set to wrap up its current world tour with a performance in Taiwan next month. But the cultural connection through pop music goes both ways. Taiwanese boy band F4, which sparked the Philippines' love for Taiwanese TV dramas and Mandopop in the early 2000s, rode a wave of nostalgia in their reunion concert in Manila last June. One Philippine diplomat says this is proof of how music and arts can offer people in Taiwan and the Philippines a way to discover what they have in common.

- Australia is expanding its drone capabilities as it deepens defense cooperation with Ukraine and looks to strengthen domestic manufacturing. Industry leaders and defense experts say secure, reliable supply chains will be critical if Australia wants to scale up drone production and reduce dependence on Chinese components. Sydney-based drone maker Carbonix, whose aircraft have supported intelligence and surveillance missions in Ukraine since 2024, says early discussions with Taiwanese contacts are already underway. Experts point to Taiwan's strengths in semiconductors, batteries, and advanced technology as potential areas for future collaboration in the growing drone sector.

- Description
- TSMC is expanding its chipmaking capacity as demand for artificial intelligence accelerators drives growth, with one analyst saying the company could double its revenue by 2029. Dan Nystedt of TriOrient Investments says TSMC’s stronger revenue outlook and higher capital spending reflect confidence in the AI boom. The company is adding manufacturing capacity for its 3nm chips and expects its 2nm capacity to double in 2027. Nystedt says overseas expansion, including US factories, is weighing on gross margins alongside the costs of developing new chip technologies. But he believes TSMC is running ahead of its earlier growth targets as demand for advanced chips continues to rise.

The officer died after falling from a building on a military base in September. Taiwan’s defense ministry initially avoided questions about whether bullying contributed to her death. Public scrutiny intensified after a recording surfaced in which a colleague appeared to repeatedly berate the officer. The military has now referred the case to prosecutors for review as investigators examine whether bullying played a role in the officer’s death.

Taiwan is Micron's largest overseas base, where the company employs around 15,000 people. Union workers in northern Taiwan are threatening to strike over a profit-sharing dispute. A major work stoppage could affect the supply of memory chips used in AI servers, with potential implications for the global semiconductor supply chain.

- Despite major government subsidies aimed at reversing Taiwan's record low birth rate, dual-income parents face an acute shortage of public daycare slots. According to official data, out-of-home childcare demand for infants under the age of two has reached over 36%, yet high-demand regions report dozens of children competing for a single opening. NGO the Childcare Policy Alliance highlights that public centers, which cost parents roughly US$45 per month after subsidies, are forced to run below full capacity due to severe staff shortages brought on by low wages and long working hours. Furthermore, strict safety standards and urban land scarcity stall construction. The health ministry has promised targeted central funding to assist local governments in securing public land and building centers.

- Description
- Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an has proposed to relocate Taipei Songshan Airport and replace it with an AI development park.
Originally built in 1936 under Japanese colonial rule, the airport is Taiwan’s first and oldest aviation hub. Although traffic has diminished over the years, the airport still provides select international flights as well as domestic flights to eastern Taiwan and the outlying islands.
Officials note that the airport maintains an important role in Taiwan’s defense, civilian transport and disaster response functions. Songshan Airport has also served as an international gateway for high-profile visitors, including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and former US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi during her historic visit in 2022.

- Analysis: Taiwan’s Green Energy Market Faces Rising Costs and Growing Demand｜TaiwanPlus News

- Description
- Taiwan’s renewable energy expansion is facing rising development costs, even as developers cannot meet surging demand for green power, according to Wei-wei Tseng, chair of wind and solar developer WPD Taiwan. Tseng says investment in solar and onshore wind remains largely domestic, while offshore wind has attracted major foreign infrastructure funds and utility companies. As Taiwan’s technology and semiconductor industries seek more electricity, Tseng argues that corporate power purchase agreements must reflect rising costs, including grid upgrades, local stakeholder engagement and permitting. She also calls for local governments to share responsibility with the central government for meeting Taiwan’s renewable energy targets.

- Description
- The Philippines is moving to restrict social media access for minors, with a Senate bill targeting users under 18 and a lower house of Congress' proposal seeking to keep those under 13 from the apps.
While supporters point to violent content and the need for online safety, critics argue a blanket ban could cut off young people's social lives and education.
Here in Taiwan, there’s no ban on social media, but the debate over screen time, parental responsibility and tech regulation is only growing louder.

- Philippines Moves To Ban Minors From Social Media｜TaiwanPlus News

- Date posted
- 1 month ago
- Description
- The Philippine House of Representatives has passed legislation to ban children under 13 from social media, while imposing limited access and AI feature bans for teens aged 13 to 17. The move follows a stricter Senate version advocating a blanket ban for all minors under 18. Prompted by recent incidents of school violence, the legislative push aligns the Philippines with international regulators in Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia. However, in Taipei, parents and child rights advocacy groups like ECPAT Taiwan contend that age bans miss the core issue. Experts argue that platforms must implement robust monitoring against online grooming and extortion, while adults must actively guide children rather than use smartphones as digital babysitters.
